Are you keeping track of the qualifying round plus the rest of the playoffs for accumulated points? The reason I ask is because I went 1-9 in the qualifying round so if I want any chance of winning I need to be bold with my picks. I’ll save my actual predictions for hockeyrobots’ matchup threads and pick some extra underdogs here.

In previous discussion with pmorrow - he mentioned that he is going to track each round and declare a winner for each round... but he is also is tracking the overall standings.

I finished right in front of you after the qualifying round. So I went with underdogs to try and catch up. If I am not able to catch up... then I will start going for round wins in the final 3 rounds!

Yep, we will have an overall winner and a round winner. I imagine there will be quite a few teams from the play in round who don't submit before the deadline so in my opinion I would submit your real picks instead of going against your gut. But do as you wish.

So you are suggesting that we don't go against our gut? Cause I did... Do you want me to change? Or just leave it? haha

[pmorrow]

Whatever you want! Do what you gotta do to win. Just saying strategically you will likely be able to battle back since a number of teams will not submit picks for this round. I PMed everyone but not everyone gets those emails and we have a short window to submit.

I will stick with what I entered and consider a different strategy for next round!
