Hey everybody!

We've got $2 towards your 2021 DLF Salary Cap on the line, and the challenge is to try and pick the MLB Postseason brackets as accurately as possible! Here's how the scoring with break down:

WC Games: 1 point each
DS Games: 2 points each
CS Games: 4 points each

For the tiebreaker, please say how many games the WS will last, for example: Cubs in 7.

Post as a reply to this thread. I'll go ahead and post mine and you may copy/paste my format, if you like. I've attached a copy of the bracket, and I hope this format works for everyone. Good luck, and enjoy playoff baseball!

Hello Everyone!

I came back to score this and post the results and immediately realized: I never stated how this would be scored. Usually, I start with 1 point in the first round and double each round. Some bracket pools just give one point per correct pick, regardless of round. After comparing the entries with the answer key, none of that mattered. No matter how you score it, Rick (BOS) dominated. I will go ahead and just say every correct pick is worth 1 point each. The results and the scores are below:

A: Rays
B: Yankees
C: Astros
D: Athletics
E: Rays
F: Astros
G: Rays
H: Dodgers
I: Padres
J: Marlins
K: Braves
L: Dodgers
M: Braves
N: Dodgers
WS: Dodgers (in 6)

1ST- BOS: 13
2ND- COL: 10
3RD- SF: 9 (w/ tiebreaker)
4TH- SEA: 9
T5TH-PIT: 8
-KC: 8
-HOU: 8
T8TH-ATL: 7
-WAS: 7
T10TH-STL: 6
-PHI: 6
12TH- CHC: 4

This was a lot of fun to come back to. I hope everyone enjoyed the postseason. I'm sure we'll remember a lot about this season in the years to come, for better or for worse ;-)

12 participants is great! Let's keep the enthusiasm going through the offseason. Don't forget to get those final moves in before 11/1. Most importantly, congratulations to Rick for his prophetic prognostications! $2 extra for 2021 to you, Sir!
