Quoted from Jackontherocks:Picks made and should be in the league, let me know or if need to fix anything. It only made us pick the total number of games in round 1 and not the other rounds, correct?
no they want all the rounds and the final total goals scored by both teams in the finals

That's how mine was as well.
luch, To confirm, you saying you were able to select the number of games in round 2 etc?
Quoted from koji:That's how mine was as well.
luch, To confirm, you saying you were able to select the number of games in round 2 etc?
Yes. It's for both round 1 and 2.
Nothing for round 3 and just total goals for the finals.
The site is so screwed up its anyone's guess if you did it properly or not. Lol

Basically....if you make your bracket all the way to the finals, select the winner and type in how many goals you predict for the series....and click submit.
You should be fine.

I picked all the winners in each round all the way through and cup winner, Total goals for the cup only. It only had me pick the series Total number of each games in round 1 only. I thought usually each round need to picks Total games in each series.

I'm sure you did round two as well. It just doesn't show up in your bracket like it does the first round.
I doubt you would of been able to complete the bracket without the round 2 # of games tie breaker selection.

Yes this is what has always come up on mine. thanks!

ImNotNorm , Yes, no issues selecting the winning team all the way up, but actual number of games only seems to be selectable in the first round.. then you just pick winners to the cup, where you can also enter the number of goals.

After further research....it's only the 1st round that requires the # of games for each series.
So maybe they initially had it where you needed to select the 2nd round and then decided to get rid of it?
I remember choosing the # of games for the 2nd round though.
More NHL tom-foolery.

And it says the deadline to change your picks/selections is 6:59pm EST on April 19th.
Which is weird....picks should be locked in at puckdrop of game 1.

Yeah, It stated that in the beginning which seemed odd.. lol. Odds change a lot based on the first game.. lol

Yeah IDK, I was the first to enter my picks in the league, and it did not change for me.. but certainly from the sound of the issues, it would not surprise me if they had some odd stuff going on.
Quoted from koji:ImNotNorm Could you confirm again the details for the pool? Winner will get the hat, something about shipping some stuff from the past winner?
Second place can have some old pop bumper caps (broken) I have laying around. Postage not included.

Winner gets my Oilers jinx hat. I have shipping covered.
And here's this...
Quoted from hwyhed:Glad that the playoffs start today. This reigning champ wants to wish good luck to all..a pix of my b day cake from Saturday..it should of said ‘average pin player’

Happy birthday dude!
You can't shark the "average" player bit when your pinside account is 7yrs old, and you have a collection history of 19 games. lol

Quoted from OldHockeyGuy:Timballwizard with the Olympic Hockey (Williams '71) game he reconditioned and packed up for me.

How’s the pin playing?? I love mine
One hour left 'til go time. Good luck to everyone's favorite team, unless you are an Avs or Bruins fan, then GFY! 
Looks like we have 22 members for the Pinside NHL bracket challenge.
A lot of people vying for that Oilers jinx hat!!

My dashboard is showing I have two entries, if you would check to make sure I only have one?

cdnpinbacon would be able to see that. He has the group moderator status.
So far, I haven't seen a duplicate MeSz team name.
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Still watching the two games on out here on West Coast, might have one overtime game as Dallas just hit the post
Two Overtime games and a bourbon why not, kings just tied it with 6 on 4 goalie pulled on power play with 16.7 sec
I made it to the end of regulation with the Stars here at 11:30 central. Sorry, NHL, I can’t go past midnight anymore.
Quoted from newovad:I made it to the end of regulation with the Stars here at 11:30 central. Sorry, NHL, I can’t go past midnight anymore.
I made it, but now I'm tired. MN got some pretty crazy bounces in 2ot
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Good night two great OT finishes, one double OT and one single OT night caps
Edmonton blew that badly.
Bouchard may have scored a beauty early... but a few bad penalties.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I wonder if some brackets will be changed before puck drop tomorrow. Lol
Are we allowing that? Haha.
Quoted from koji:Are we allowing that? Haha.
Don't see how you can stop it. It's a rule for the bracket challenge. I'm keeping mine the way they are.
I got 3/4 wins last night.
Hoping for 4/4 tonight!
I think once the picks are locked in we will be able to view each others brackets in the pinside league.
Quoted from koji:Are we allowing that? Haha.
it shouldn't be allowed
Quoted from luch:it shouldn't be allowed
I agree but the NHL set the bracket challenge rules. Can't really stop it.
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Edmonton blew that badly.
Bouchard may have scored a beauty early... but a few bad penalties.
So with my Pens out of the playoffs I am adopting Edmonton. It's only one game but with the way the played last night with outshooting and leading the Kings throughout the game only to blow it..... it's like watching the Pens! 
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I agree but the NHL set the bracket challenge rules. Can't really stop it.
yes you can , just tell those people to not change anything , those that do your out !
Quoted from luch:yes you can , just tell those people to not change anything , those that do your out !
How do you know they changed the bracket? You can't see anyone's picks until they are locked in.
And once locked they cannot be changed.
Quoted from luch:did not know that , so yeah just stupid rules , sorry about that
They can leave the bracket open till the 3rd round and I would still get it wrong!
Quoted from luch:yes you can , just tell those people to not change anything , those that do your out !
Pinside honor system 
. I put EDM in 6, so I guess I can still keep my fingers crossed. haha
