OT: $25 NBA Playoff Pool
If anybody's looking for an NBA Playoff pool to hop into please see the information below - $25 & hoping to get a couple hundred people. I will be part of hosting a big NBA Playoff Pool that is starting up this year. We have other pools that we run for different sports and they seem to be very popular and grow with every pool we roll out. It's a good alternative to daily fantasy as it's only a one time entry but it keeps you really entertained and invested for the whole playoff season.
The pool will be hosted on a website where we hold all of the other sports pools on. So you will have a login account and be able to see the updates as games conclude and rankings change. Leaderboard, game statistics, other entries teams will all be viewable on the website after the Playoffs get underway. Very responsive to emails and on top of any questions or concerns anybody may have. This started out as a small thing that friends and family took part in but ever since organizing on the website, it's grown pretty quickly in popularity so I figured I'd see if anyone on here would be interested in taking part.
I don't want to go against the rules of the forum or spam it so if you'd like a link to the website if you're interested feel free to shoot me a DM and I'd be more than happy to send you the link!
Preview of the Create-a-team page:
So you'll select 2 players per tier, totaling 10 players for your team. You cannot select more than 2 players from the same team, so it makes it a bit of a cool puzzle to try and figure out. You'll have to decide if potentially 6 games of Giannis is worth more than 10 games of Isaiah Thomas.
It gives you a vested interest in players of teams that aren't just from your hometown. And given the nature of basketball and how quickly the stats can get racked up...partnered with the NBA playoffs being on almost every night for a couple of months...its going to make for a really fun pool!
NOTE: $2 per every $25 entry will taken for Admin/Maintenance costs

Re: OT: $25 NBA Playoff Pool
Hey good morning guys,
We're currently up over 75 entries and counting - if you have submitted a lineup but have not yet sent your entry fee please do so asap so that I can activate your entry immediately.
Is Isaiah & the C's going to make it out of the 1st Round or get exposed by Jimmy Butler & the veteran Bulls?
Are the Cav's going to show up & take care of business this postseason?
Are the Warriors going to be able to gel with Durant back in the fold? What kind of stat lines are going to come out of that Russ vs Harden matchup? How bout that Kawaii guy?
For anybody who's still thinking about playing there's still plenty of time left to get your roster in. Please try to have your roster & payment submitted no later than 1pm on Saturday. I know the first game doesn't tip-off until 3pm however I will be MIA from about 1:30 - 2:45 on Saturday, so if you submit your roster & payment after 1pm please note I may not have time to activate it before everything locks @ 3 where all rosters will be final. My advice would be to aim to have it in this evening so that you can edit your lineup as many times as you'd like (if need be) up until the 3pm lock tomorrow.

Not real time, but for non west coast games scores will be updated by half time. West coast games that end really late are most likely to be updated by early morning eastern time

That kind of info should be prominent in the OP.
