2007 Official Monarchs Playoff Prediction Game Rules ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. All predictions must be in by the SCHEDULED start TIME of the game.
2. Once you have posted your predictions, you cannot edit them. So, if you select a player and later find out that player will not play, don't attempt to change your prediction.
3. The prediction game thread is JUST for predictions. A separate thread will be started for discussion of the game itself.
4. The purpose of the game is to have fun.
5. You may only name one player per category.
6. Predictions in the field goal % category, 3 pt. % category and the FT % category must be listed as whole numbers.
7. Prediction game results will be posted after the game. If you think your score is incorrect, send a PM to 6th and include either a link to your prediction or the post #. Tallies will be posted at the end of the prediction game thread. The OFFICIAL game thread will be posted in plenty of time to allow everyone to make their predictions. If someone is going to miss a game, they should send their predictions via PM to 6th - who will post them into the appropriate game thread. To avoid confusion, game threads will be started by 6th or - in the event of unexpected situations - VF21. This way, everyone will be looking for a familiar thread... and all the predictions will follow the same format. (That's the only way to tally predictions accurately and quickly.)
