Call me crazy, but I’m excited for the new NBA In-Season Tourney.
Let’s all embrace the craziness and pick the winners and losers for the 2023 group play games and knockout tournament.
We will have two stages and two winners for bragging rights:
Group Play
Knockout Tournament
I set up a google worksheet for everyone to input their picks and to track the progress. Please don’t change anyone else’s picks. I will lock down the form on Thursday 11/2 at 8pm Pacific for no additional edits (and I will save an offline version to make sure there are no shenanigans after games start). Games start Friday 11/3. Included in the google workbook will be the NBA rules, group play groupings, and group play matchups.
GOOGLE SHEET
If you can’t get into the google sheet to input your picks, just IM your picks to me (number of group stage wins for each team from 0-4 as well as quarterfinal through champion predictions).
Let’s get crazy!
Let’s all embrace the craziness and pick the winners and losers for the 2023 group play games and knockout tournament.
We will have two stages and two winners for bragging rights:
Group Play
- Pick how many games each team will win in the group stages (played Tuesdays and Fridays in November)
- We will be ranking entrants on a “closest to the pin” basis depending on how far away picks are from their actual results. For example, let’s say I predict Phoenix will win 3 of their 4 group play games. If they win 3 games I get 0 points, if they win 4 or 2 games I get 1 point, if they win 1 game I get 2 points, and if they win 0 games I get 3 points. I’ll add up all the points for each entry for all 30 teams and whoever has the lowest amount of points wins.
Knockout Tournament
- Pick who you think will make the quarterfinals, semifinals, finals, and who will be the champion (see NBA rules in the next post for who makes the knockout tourney)
- You get 1 point for a correct quarterfinal prediction (doesn’t matter if they are group winner versus wildcard for scoring), 2 points for a correct semifinal prediction, 4 points for a correct finalist prediction, and 8 points for picking the correct champion – most points wins
