Board 8 > 2012 NBA Ladder Contest - Week 4

(+) Yeah! (+)

The NBA Ladder contest brings in new challenges each week as users try to advance levels. Users can join in at any time and still be successful. New users start at Level 1, weekly standings will be updated sometime on Sunday OR if the user has already reached the next level. We don't have off days like the NFL so you can go ahead and submit a prediction for two levels if you're waiting until Sunday to see if you advance. I'll try to get the new topic up each Friday.

Rules:
- Picks for games that day must be made before the start of the FIRST game. Start time is listed in schedule.
- Weeks will run from Monday to Sunday.
- Please state what level you are on.
- COPY AND PASTE the schedule with the dates and remove the excess for your picks.
- The Bonus deadline will vary week-to-week depending on whether it's game specific or league specific.
- Number of bonus points is the tiebreaker.
- DO NOT DELETE posts, you cannot change your entry to predict other games.

Explanation of Levels:
Level 1 - Pick TEN games, bold your winners, at least FOUR must win. No bonus for having more than four.
Level 2 - Pick TEN games, pick the AWAY team to win, at least FOUR must win. No bonus for having more than four.
Level 3 - Pick THREE games: 30+ points, 10+ assists, 10+ rebounds must be recorded by someone or any combination of players playing. They don't have to all come from the same game. You must pick three games at once and are not allowed to change.
Level 4 - Pick a team with a LOSING record (As stated in Post #2) to win a game by 10+ points. If no team does this, the team that won by the most will be accepted.

How to submit an entry:
1. Post your level.
2. Copy/paste the schedule, remove games until there are only the required amount for your level. BOLD your winners, LEAVE the dates.
3. Keep spaces to a minimum.
4. Post your Bonus.

Week 4 Bonus: (Deadline: 1/16 100pm ET)
What player will score the most points in a single game?

Also, I might be a little late on updating the standings since I've been working on my exchange application and essay and preparing for the interview. So if you can check what level you're on and pick accordingly, that would be great!
