NBA Win Loss Totals Contest

[tlance]

Time for the first update as most teams have played 10 games, this puts us about 1/8 of the way into the season.
Based on the current projected win totals here are the current standings:

As far as scoring goes, remember that if your win total for a team is over or under the preseason win total you get 1,000 points. You also get an extra 100 points for each additional win/loss that team gets over the course of the year. So for the most extreme example, the 2-8 Grizzlies are currently providing the most points if you picked the under. 1,000 plus another 2900 since they are currently on track to win 29 less games than their original projection.

Note that the Random team is currently in 4th place lol. Good luck to all, will have another update after 20 games or so.

Wow.

I’m doing better than I thought!

I expected to be in last by a lot more!

Thanks @dtgold88 for making it close!

@trojanfan12 can we get a sticky for this please?

Ok here it is, the 1st annual SportsHoopla NBA Win Loss Totals Contest.

Official Rules:
1. You must pick 3 overs and 3 unders for season win totals
2. For every winner you have you get 1000 pts
3. For every win or loss above or below the posted total you get an extra 100 pts. Example, you take the over on a team with a total of 42.5. If they win 43 you get 1000 pts. If they win 44 you get 1100 pts, 45 would be 1200 pts, etc.
4. I am the official scorer and what I say goes. I will be addressed as Mr. Commissioner Sir.
