Almost picked Toronto over GSW but that's way too ballsy

I love the puns, Apollo.

If I was playing still, my game for the week was going to be Nov. 18 with Indy over Philly.



I was already looking far ahead.

We could probably fit another contest in this season. So you might get another chance.

Curt Henning died long ago, and your time is running out! Philly will gets its first win of the year as Sauce goes for 40.

[Apollo]

LOL, I deserve it after that last post.

[Mack North]

Detroit beats Cleveland... hopefully there is no losing streak involved for the Cavs this time. After Thursday they can lose every game for the rest of the year though...

BK beat ATL as well....

The night is ripe for upsets. Let's go you Raptors!

[Apollo]

Philly needs to keep on losing. They're gonna win me this competition.

[Mack North]

I'm through! Cleveland 115- Milwaukee 100

[DanH]

Forgot which game I picked! I'm still alive too (yesterday).

[Mack North]

So far I've used San Antonio, Miami, Cleveland. Pretty sure I'll be able to go all year with this game.

NBA Elimination - Week 4

Good job to those who survived this long.

Summary of the game:

1. Guess one game winner correctly each week of the NBA season(disregard spread). You can never pick the same team twice.
2. Guess the actual point spread of the game.
3. Contestants can pick the same team as their competitors.
4. Get the winner incorrect and you're eliminated from the contest.
5. Get the winner correct and you advance.
6. Get the winner correct and get the actual spread correct and you win a bye for the following week.
7. The game continues week-over-week until there is only one remaining.
8. You must submit no later than November 22nd for week 4
9. If you weren't part of the contest in week one or you picked incorrectly then you are ineligible to play week 3.

1st place prize - The champion gets to pick out an avatar, which fits within Raptors Republic site rules, that all losers must wear under their name for one week. If he guesses A spread correctly it turns into two weeks.

2nd place prize - Excluded from avatar loser penalty; you lucky bastard.

---

To paraphrase the rules above to make sure everyone gets the concept:

You guess just one game per week. Pick any team in the league you haven't chosen yet in the contest. Pick that team for any one game they have on schedule for that week. Guess the point spread(ie: how many they will win by) and then you're done.

Losers are out, winners advance and winners who guess a spread right get the next week off.
