Rules:

Pick the winner of the series and the number of games that you think it will take to win the series (all are 7-game series).

1. Cost is $20.  All money collected will be distributed to the winners. You can send me the money in check or money order (address is at bottom of emails), or I will collect it from you when I see you. All in NJ can give it to Tim B. and he will get it to me.
    

2. If you pick the winner correctly, you get 4 points minus the number of games that you missed by. Example: If you pick Detroit in 4 and the series goes 6 games you get 2 points...4 points for the series win minus 2 for the games (6 minus 4). No points if you don't pick the winner of the series.
    

3. Pool lasts through all the playoff rounds. Since there is a reseeding after the first round, you will need to pick your teams again before the start of the second round. These will be your picks through the end of the playoffs. I will email you when they are due.
    

4. For the Stanley Cup Final series you will pick the winner of the series, games, and total goals scored in the series. Total goals will be the tie-breaker. If it is still a tie with total goals the winners will split the pot.
    

5. Total prize money and the payouts: First place will pay $340, second will pay $160, and third place will pay $80 and the last place consolation prize will pay $20.
