Hi jcwla, mugs should be 2-1 like me and not eliminated.

***Cue the jcwla/jammer conspiracy!!!*** (A joke, for those not in the know)

Hiya Mel, nope, not all 2-1's are alike!
The remaining predictions of each of the eliminated 2-1's exactly match those of one or more of the 3-0's, meaning they cannot tie for most correct predictions.

Ah! Interesting.

You and your crazy calculations, but it makes sense. 10 steps ahead of me! All I saw was 2-1. Thanks for the reply!

 

[mugs]

Well that makes sense. Thanks for trying though TC!

 

[Pevsfreedom]

How am I eliminated if I'm 3-1?

Your remaining predictions are W W L.
Forum Gold, who is 4-0, also has remaining predictions W W L.
Therefore, you can never tie for most correct predictions.
Same for Angel Eyes, SloMo26, and Drum4Pigs.
For VCRW, Chateau Bow Wow, and Kurisu, their remaining predictions of L W L exactly match those of DRGinLBC, who is 4-0.
Each of you will always be behind another entrant.
Conversely, motalare and TooCool, who are also 3-1, have remaining predictions that do not exactly match those of any of the 4-0’s, and therefore they remain alive.

My brain hurts lol so I could go 6-1 and still get beat?

Thanks @jcwla!

Kings shouldn't lose to teams like the Penguins.

Go Kings Go!

 

[Pevsfreedom]

I'm just glad I finally got one. Not happy for losing to Pens.

 

[Drum4Pigs]

Well, I made it to the 4th game. Not bad! haha

 

[jammer06]

No offense to you all but go @Liz4LA !!!!!

 

[jammer06]

And BOOOOO @TooCool

 

[jcwla]

No offense to you all but go @Liz4LA !!!!!

Liz is the only one who is guaranteed to be in contention going into Game 7. Two will be eliminated tomorrow.

I've never been more confused after reading something.

 

[VCRW]

I've never been more confused after reading something

You only need to understand that you are 4-0!… as I would have been if our Kings could hold a 3rd period lead.

 

[Liz4LA]

Aw, thanks jammer!
I’m out of the country, but keeping an eye on our team!
GKG!

 

[pray4mojo]

I've never been more confused after reading something.

Its like one of those logic puzzles on the GRE i took 35 years ago!!!

 

[jcwla]

Any entrant who thinks they've been improperly eliminated may pay me $10,000 today, and I promise that, at the conclusion of the road trip, if they end up with as many correct predictions as (or more correct predictions than) the winner, I will pay them $15,000 on Monday. But if they don't, I keep the $10,000.
