I'd thought I start this if no one minds. I am basing this off Slamma's set up from last year with a few changes.

 

It is simple, pick who you think will win each round in how many games.

 

If you picked a round perfectly, 8 points.

If you're off by 1 game, 5 points.

If you're off by 2 games, 3 points.

If you're off by 3 games, 1 point.

If you're wrong, no points.

 

Late Pick Penalty

 

If you forget to submit and make your pick anytime after the start of Game 1 and before the start of Game 2, your points would be:

 

If you picked a round perfectly, 5 points.

If you're off by 1 game, 3 points.

If you're off by 2 games, 1 point.

If you're off by 3 games, 0 points.

If you're wrong, no points.

 

I cut off any picks from after the start of Game 2.

 

Your late pick(s) are due before the announced start time of Game 2, regardless of delay and/or postponement, of each respective series.

 

Once that time has occurred, your pick will not be accepted.

 

Wild Card Games

If you pick right, 1 point.

If you're wrong, no points.

If you pick BOTH Wild Games correctly, 3 points.

 

World Series Champion Bonus Points

If you pick right World Series Champion BEFORE the American League Wild Card Game on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, 5 bonus points.

Your pick is due by Tuesday, October 6, 2015 on or before 7:59 PM EST.

If you're wrong, no bonus points.

 

Scoring will take place round-by-round.

All picks are due before the announced start time, regardless of delay and/or postponement, of each respective series.

 

For the indecisive, you may change your picks BEFORE the mentioned announced start time.

 

DO NOT DELETE YOUR INITIAL POST. STRIKE YOUR ORIGINAL POST. MAKE A NEW POST WITH YOUR NEW PICK( S ).

AL Wild Card: Astros over Yankees

NL Wild Card: Pirates over Cubs

 

Overall winner: St Louis Cardinals

 

We have a postseason with the Cubs, Astros, Pirates, Royals, Jays and Mets. Of course the Cards or Yankees will win the World Series. That's just how baseball works whether we like it or not.

Okay, everyone!

 

I have updated the picks you have to make up to the Division Series.

 

Your picks should look some thing along this line.

 

_____

 

Best of five

Team A vs. Team B

 

Team A wins in four games

or

Team A vs. Team B, 3-1

or

some thing that I will understand

 

_____

 

Those of you who have already picked your World Series winners, please post the number of games it will take for them to claim the Commissioner's Trophy using the above example.

 

It is a little too soon to start declaring World Series Champions. Please let me know if you wish to rethink your decision. Do not delete your original post. You can strike the original post with [ strike ] [ /strike ], without the spaces. It will make it lot easier for me to keep track of your picks.

 

Thank you!

Thanks for the information Wollip. I have decided to keep my WS winner pick as that's what I think even at this early stage and declared them winners in 6 games.

In some of the other Slamma pick'ems, we give our championship winner prediction at the start of the playoffs. Those who pick the champ get an extra 5 points. Sort of a bonus thing.

 

That's what I thought it would be, which is totally independent of picking the team and number of games once the WS teams are decided.

 

Anyways, I will take the Cubs and Yankees in the Wldcard games, and throw my hat in for Toronto (in 6, if games are needed now) for the World Series.

Probably a good thing you started this as my mind is not on baseball.

 

Though asking me first woulda been cool.

 

EDIT: Seems to be some confusion about World Series Champs picks... normally, I give 5 bonus points if you could correctly predict who would win it all before any games are played.

I'm so confused. How difficult can it be to pick an overall winner? :rofl:

 

The confusion isn't in picking, it's in the bonus point allotment.

It doesn't sound like Wollip is aware of the whole bonus points from previous pick'ems...

I based on last year's set up with two small changes.

 

I changed it 10 points to 8 points for picking a round perfectly. The other change was the scoring of the Wild Card Games.

 

Other than that, it largely remains the same.

 

Slamma, I was caught up in the moment when mcolwander90 requested that some one set up the Pick'em Thread. I had nothing to do and wanted to give it a go.

 

I will be sure to ask you first next time before setting up the thread. :o

 

_____

 

As for picking the World Series Champion, I did not know about it. Last year's Pick'em did not have it.

 

Since a lot of people have asked inquired, I will also include the bonus points.

 

You receive 5 points if you correctly select the eventual World Series Champion. You do not need to include the number of games it will take for the eventual champion to claim the Commissioner's Trophy.

 

Your World Series Champion pick must be ON or BEFORE Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at 7:59 PM EST.

 

_____

 

My pick will be the Toronto Blue Jays.

It's all good Wollip. Like I mentioned in the other thread, its difficult running multiple leagues at the same time. So thanks for running this
