Rules

HOW IT'S PLAYED
What You Do: There are 3 rounds of the Major League Baseball playoffs:
1.) Division Series (4 matchups)
2.) League Championship Series (2 matchups)
3.) World Series (1 matchup)

Each entry will choose who they think will win each of the 7 playoff series that comprise the Major League Baseball playoffs.

Entries will also rank each selection each round based on how confident you are in choosing the winner correctly (same as a typical football confidence pool).

If you choose the winner correctly, you will receive the points that you assigned for that series.

Any incorrect selection scores zero points

Example: Minnesota vs LA Angels (Divisional Series): You are extremely confident that the Angels will win the series so you choose the Angels and assign a point value for that series of 10 points. If the Angels win, you receive 10 points towards your overall pool point total. If the Angels lose, this entry scores zero points for this matchup. The other games follow the same format.

See "Points Distribution Section" below for how much the point values are for each round
Points Distribution: Choose a value for each game based on how confident you are of your selection winning. Each round has different point values. Below is the breakdown of each round

DIVISIONAL SERIES:

10 points- Most Confident of the 4 matchups
7 points: 2nd Most Confident
5 points: 3rd Most Confident
3 points: Least Confident of the 4 matchups

LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES:

15 points: Most Confident of the 2 matchups
10 points: Least Confident of the 2 matchups

WORLD SERIES:

25 points: No other option here

IMPORTANT: YOU MUST USE EACH POINT VALUE ONCE IN EACH ROUND AND YOU CANNOT USE THE SAME POINT VALUE TWICE IN THE SAME ROUND.

NOTE: Maximum number of points you can earn in each round is 25 points. In the entire pool, 75 points
Winners: The player who accumulates the most points after the World Series is complete will be declared the winner.

Tiebreaker: Before the World Series starts, when making your selections, you will need to choose the total number of runs scored in the entire World Series. The entry that is closest, high or low, wins the tiebreaker and is declared the winner

If there is still a tie after the tiebreaker, the payout will be split among those entries still tied.
SUBMITTING SHEETS

Submission Deadline: All picks for each round need to be submitted before the first pitch of Game 1 of the first series, whenever that may be.
