2008 Stanley Cup Picks Contest - How To Score

1. Each of the questions in the Stanley Cup Picks Contest is assigned a multiplier, which is noted next to the question.
2. Points are awarded based on how many people pick each answer. You get more points for picking upsets. Each person who picked an incorrect choice gets -1 x multiplier. All of the losing points are then added together, along with a bonus multiplier, and divvied up among the winners.

   So if a question with a multiplier of 10 is answered by two people and they both pick the correct option, they each get 10/2 = 5 points. If one of them had picked the right answer and the other had not, the loser would get -1 x 10 = -10 points, and the winner would get 10+10 = 20 points.

3. If more than one answer choice is correct, the total available points will be split between people picking either choice.
4. In the event of a tie, the user who submitted the first complete entry wins.
