  • NBA Elimination League - Part Deux

    The 2nd Edition of the NBA Elimination League

    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.


    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.





    I am posting both Week 5 and 6 schedules here since I am going to be in Orlando next week. After Week 6, we may start adding in some wrinkles to ensure we get a winner before playoffs.

    Thanks for taking on the duties of running the weekly threads and whatnot.

    I guess I have to return to defend the title. My pick will be in later in the week.

                              Awww darn... I would've went with Raps by zero. So easy...

                              Just kidding, obviously, but 16? you're taking the Raps as your first team and you think they'll win by 16?? I hope you didn't just curse them, Cody73(if that even is your real name!!!??)

                              We've got DanH, planetmars and myself taking the Spurs this week. They're bound to lose one, just for spite, so my guess is that they lose vs Lakers. Sorry mars! lol just kidding... but if anyone beats the Bulls record, I hope it's the Spurs.
