EXAMPLE
Mr. X makes the following picks
1. Maimi wins 2.5
2. Dallas and Carolina tie
3. Chicago wins 4.0
4. Los Angeles wins 3.0
5. New England and St. Louis tie
6. Boston wins 2.5
7. Seattle wins 2.5
8. Arizona and Baltimore tie
The above is an example only. It shows you the information we will need for your picks. It shows the game # (according to the list in the initial thread); it identifies a winner (or both teams if they will tie according to your predictions); and in the case of picking winners, the points you feel they will score (only used in the event that we need to use tie breakers). I hope this example helps!

Please Note: We have moved the contest rules from the Group Forums to the Group News section. Included below is a link (within the icon) to those rules.
A rules change that was made: We have discovered that Chess.com members are able to post predictions on the thread without being a member of the group. We want everyone to be able to participate and have fun with this contest. One of the reasons we are offering it is to promote awareness of the League, as well as this group. We are therefore making it a rule that anyone participating in the contest must be a member of the group. The group settings are set up to allow anyone to join, so please feel free to sign up and make your picks!
