Timberwolves forum 2009 NBA Playoffs "Who Ya got?" +/- topic

Post #1 » by **Calinks** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 6:09 pm

Due to popular demand the +/- fun continues with the NBA playoffs! Anyone can join in on the fun at anytime and take their shot at being a winner. For those of you who couldn't catch a break gambling on the timberwolves players maybe you will find fortune here.

The Game : Playing the +/- game is simple. You pick any player before the game and you watch them play. Anything that player scores above his average gives you + points. Anything the player scores below his average give you - points. The goal is to have the most + points by the end of the week. Whoever has the most points by the end of the week is the weekly winner.

Example: You pick Yao Ming and he goes off for 43 points. Since Yao averages 19 PPG you would get +24 for that night. Conversely if yao played and got 1 point, you would get -18.

Notes:
-You can change your pick at anytime before the game*
*(You ca not change your player if he has already started playing.)
-I do not round numbers. If a player is averaging 19.9 PPG I count it as 19.
-If you pick a player and they do not play you get 0 points, you don't lose or gain anything.
-You can pick any number of "insurance" players if you are unsure if your player will play.
-Every day there is a game you can pick any player on any team. I will total it all up after the week.
-The way the game is played can be subject to change, depending on how this first week goes.
-Do not make your picks for the next days games until after all the games have been played for the current day.

The playoffs start tomorrow. Here is a list of Tomorrows games:

SAT 4/18 DET at CLE 3:00 ET ABC
SAT 4/18 CHI at BOS 12:30 ET ESPN
SAT 4/18 DAL at SAS 8:00 ET ESPN
SAT 4/18 HOU at POR 10:30 ET ESPN

Choose any player from those four games! So, Who Ya Got?

Whoops, I see Williams isn't playing tomorrow.

Can I second Tony Parker, or is it first dibs only?

Do we select again for tomorrow?

Post #18 » by **Calinks** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 9:29 pm

Yea but if possible try to wait until all the games have been played tonight. It makes it much easier to keep track of everything.
