A reminder – this is NOT a bracket. We will make new picks with each subsequent playoff round.
Here is this year’s unique point system; 68 points would constitute a perfect score.
(Under our “normal” scoring system, 46 points was the maximum one could achieve. Mike Lippa set the record with 36 points back in 2016).
