NOTE: I'm escrowed $2500 on this thread. I'm not escrowing more to get on these plays, generally speaking. If you feel I have risk, PM me, and we can talk about escrowing for these specific plays.

This will run. I like tiered payouts because it gives you a rooting interest in both conferences, a "rebate" for second place and a reason to have two teams since we're only 8 people. I would like to build consensus, but especially with the strong leanings of aces and ec willing to go above his normal bet I think this is better, as it essentially 3 100 bets instead of 1 300 bet, and I think everyone will enjoy the sweat.
First game is 7:00pm est, it is currently 2:30.
I think we should draw as soon as possible so people have a little time to hedge if they would like. I need 1-2 volunteers from the pool so we can have transparency, looks like ec volunteered and is currently online, I'll pm him.
ty and gl everyone, should be fun. good idea homanga
I'm going to randomize two list of entrants and send it to driver. The first I send will be labeled Eastern. The second will be Western. At 11:57 west coast time, I need two lists posted. The first is the eastern conference, the second will be the western conference. First list posted for each conference is what we'll use. I'll match the lists up and post them here. Driver can verify the entrants are in the correct order and everything matches.
Ok, still need someone to rando the list of teams. It can't be me or driver since we've both seen the order we're all in. I'll make it easy, here's the list of teams we need randomized:
Montreal
Ottawa
Boston
Toronto
Washington
Pittsburgh
Columbus
NY Rangers
2nd list to be randomized
Chicago
Minnesota
St Louis
Nashville
Anaheim
Edmonton
San Jose
Calgary
