RULES: BASKETBALL

Q1 2024/2025 Regular Season

We've divided the teams by Conference and seeded them 1 thru 9. Your job is to pick 4 teams (in each conference) that total 24 or fewer seed points. Your 8 TOTAL teams will earn you points as follows:

....2pts for each regular season win over 20
...10pts for a high playoff berth, seeds 1-6
....5pts for a low playoff berth, seeds 7-10 (mini-tournament teams)
....8pts for each playoff round win*
...10pts for a conference title
...20pts for an NBA Championship

* Points are for each playoff round that is won, not each playoff game. The NBA mini-tournament between seeds 7 thru 10 does not count as a round.

We know you want a week of thought, doubt and self recrimination, so picks will lock Mon Oct 28th!
