I dug up the format from last year. Here it is, as the departed Hanson wrote it...

"Pick the winner of each series as well as the number of games each series will go... Get 3 points for a correct winner prediction and another point for predicting the correct number of games - provided you also picked the winner! (In other words, you can only get the point for # of games if you also picked the winner)

Each round of the playoffs, you will make your picks afresh, so you're not bound by your round-1 picks in round 2. The winner will get bragging rights, and more importantly, TWO non-Korean beers (of your choice) from Blurgalurgalurga, at a bar (of his choice) in Itaewon...probably the Wolfhound or the RMT. Second place gets a warm can of Hite or some similarly loser-ish beer.


Format looks good to me. Any suggestions for modifications? Here's the link to the original thread, if ya wanna see...

I'll run the stats if nobody else wants to; but, I'm kind of busy, so I'd be happy to have somebody else do it. Roknroll did a fine job with the 2008-2009 regular season pool, no doubt he'd do this one well too. If anybody else wants to run it, it's all the same to me.
In any case, I'll pony up for the aforementioned Awesome Prizes. I'll also buy a non-Korean beer for whoever runs the stats...
