Anything you skip is scored as chalk. How it is scored
How it’s scored
72 points, higher is better
Standings
36- For each team, count how many places off you were in its conference. Add up all 30.
- Each team you place exactly takes 1 off.
- Points = (150 − that total) ÷ 5, never below 0. Perfect = 36. Random ≈ 2.
- Final place = NBA regular-season standings after tiebreakers, before the play-in.
- Your place = where your wins put the team. Teams on equal wins keep your arrow order.
Play-in
3- ½ point each, per conference: who gets the 7 seed, who wins 9 v 10, who gets the 8 seed.
- Scored by team: right if your team got that result, whoever it played.
Playoffs
27- For each team you have winning a series, if it really wins that round: 1 first round, 2 conference semis, 3 conference finals, 5 champion.
- Scored by team, not bracket slot.
- Each round is worth more per pick than the one before.
Awards
6- 1 point each. “Anyone else” is right if the winner wasn’t on that award’s list.
- Shared award: either winner counts. Not given: nobody scores.
Total
72- All four added, to one decimal. Equal totals share a place.
Anything you skip is chalk
- Play-in and first three rounds: the team higher in your order wins.
- Finals: more wins in your entry, then the higher number in your Market column (one decimal), then the East champion.
- A pick only counts while its matchup is still in your bracket; otherwise that game is chalk.
- Awards start on the favorite.
Wins aren’t scored this season
- They set your order. After the season we’ll compare them to real results and decide about next year.
Scored as the season goes: standings in April, the play-in and each series as they finish, awards as announced.
