Western Conference Prediction Contest
Rankings will be updated below throughout the season. We play, as always, for bragging rights.
- Your total is the sum of all the differences between what you predicted for each team and the team’s actual current standing.
- Scores are ranked from lowest total to highest.
- The numbers in parentheses reflect the color-coding . . . the number of greens (exact), yellows (off by 1 or 2), sunsets (off by 3 or 4), and reds (off by 5 or more).
- The tie-breaking is fine-tuned a bit more beyond the simple color coding. After looking at total, ties are broken by number of exacts, then number off by 1, then number off by 2, and so forth.
