This is a prediction pool. The idea is simple: get your predictions in on time, results load automatically as they're known, and you rack up points for what you call right. Best score wins.

📏 How scoring works

Per match

Per game: nail the winner, the victory-margin band and the total-points band.

  • Correct winner+3

    You call which team wins the game, overtime included.

  • Margin band+3

    You call the victory-margin band (0-5, 6-11, 12-19, 20+) over the 48 minutes, excluding overtime. A game that goes to overtime was tied, so its margin is 0. You need the winner too; every band is worth the same.

  • Total-points band+2

    You call the total-points band over the 48 minutes, excluding overtime (<213, 213-223, 224-233, 234-245, 246+).

  • No prediction for a played match-1

    A gentle nudge so you don't forget to play: if a match is played and you hadn't entered a prediction, you lose these points.

🎯 Regular-season bets

They lock before the season's first game. You name one team per bet.

  • Best record in the league+24

    The team with the best win-loss record of the regular season.

  • Each conference's #1 seed+15

    Each conference's #1 seed (best record in the East and in the West). You name one team per conference.

  • Misses the playoffs (one per conference)+12

    One team per conference that finishes out of the playoffs: 11th-15th, not even reaching the play-in.

  • Top-2 in conference or better+15

    You name a team that finishes in the top 2 of its conference (or better).

  • Top-4 in conference or better+12

    You name a team that finishes in the top 4 of its conference (or better).

  • Top-6 or better (direct berth)+9

    You name a team that finishes in the top 6 (direct playoff berth, no play-in).

  • Top-8 in conference or better+6

    You name a team that finishes in the top 8 of its conference (or better).

  • Worst record (bottom)+12

    The team with the worst record of the regular season (bottom).

🏆 Playoff bets

They lock before the first playoff game. They score if the team reaches at least that round.

  • Champion+36

    The team that takes the title.

  • Finalist or better+18

    A team that reaches at least the final.

  • Conference Finals or better+12

    A team that reaches at least the Conference Finals (last 4).

  • 2nd round or better+6

    A team that reaches at least the 2nd round / Conference Semifinals (last 8).

📊 Playoff series

Each round locks when it starts. Per series: the winner, plus a bonus if you nail how many games.

  • Series winner+6

    You call which team wins the playoff series.

  • Exact series result+9

    On top of the winner, you nail how many games the series takes. Possible scorelines in this competition: 4-0/4-1/4-2/4-3.
