MLB Weekend Series (April 30-May 2)

The 1st baseball series of the season. The way we score this is you pick who will win the series. Tell me who will win each of the three games. (Example: Pirates will win on Friday and Sunday, Nationals will win on Saturday)

Scoring:
1 point - The team you say will win the series does. (Example from above, the Pirates win all 3 games)
2 points - The team wins the series with the same series score you predicted. (Example from above, the Pirates win two games but one of them is on Saturday)
4 points - The teams win the exact games you say they will. (Example from above, the Pirates win the two games you said they would)

Deadline: Friday, April 30th

Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby is this Saturday, May 1st. I am pretty sure that post time is 6:30, but I cannont find an official post time anywhere. I will do my best to be near a computer on Saturday around post time so that you can make last minute changes as necessary.

What I want from you is win, place and show (for those of you who don't gamble: that's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd). What several people did last year was give me an alternate just in case one of to horses they picked ended up scratching on race day.

Starting grid/Odds:

NFL Draft

The draft starts Thursday at 7:30.

The consensus from the suggestions that I received last year are that we predict the first 10 picks. There were a few scoring options but this is what I've got. 1 point for getting the first pick correct, 2 points for getting the second pick correct, 3 points for the third and so on. You stop getting points when you miss a pick.

What you are predicting is the player and the position in which they will be drafted. If any trades happen within the top 10, we are all stuck.

Actual Picks: (1) Sam Bradford, (2) Ndamukong Suh, (3) Gerald McCoy, (4) Trent Williams, (5) Eric Berry, (6) Russell Okung, (7) Joe Haden, (8) Rolando McClain, (9) CJ Spiller, (10) Tyson Alualu

All right. The turnaround on these games is really quick, and I'm assuming that several of you will have to do some research but here it is anyway. The NHL playoffs start this Wednesday. The pairings are official as of last night. Here is what I want from each of you. Tell me who will win each of the eight first round series AND the series outcome. (Example answer: Sharks over Ducks 4 games to 2 games).

I also want to know who will win the Eastern Conference, who will win the Western Conference, who will win the Stanley Cup (Example answer: Maple Leafs over Islanders).

The Masters

Our first golf tournament of the year is just around the corner.

Deadline: Thursday, April 8th at 8:00 a.m.

I will score this the same way we scored the Daytona 500. What I want from you is to predict the top 3 finishers in order.

Scoring will be as follows.
You will recieve 2 points for each of your golfers that actually finishes in the top 3. You will receive 3 "bonus" points for each golfer that finishes exactly where you said they would within the top 3.

To rephrase:
15 points - 3, exactly right
10 points - 2, exactly right
9 points - 3 finishers, 1 exact
7 points - 2 finishers, 1 exact
6 points - 3 finishers, wrong spots
5 points - 1, exactly right
4 points - 2 finishers, wrong spots
2 points - 1 finisher, wrong spot
