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 game. Times are listed next to the game. - 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. Level 5 - Pick one game, choose three players for each game, all three players (or less if one player gets more than one) must be their team's leader in points, rebounds and/or assists. This can be changed due to injuries if you wish to. Tying with someone counts as leading. Level 6 - Pick one game, in that game, at least two people must not miss a shot. There are minimums, they are 4, 2, and 6 for field goals, three pointers and free throws respectively. If the same person does both or all three it does not count as two people. Level 7 - GAME OF THE WEEK: See schedule for the game. Must correctly guess 3 of the 4: winner, leading scorer, will either team win by 10+, and the leading rebounder. Level 8 - Same as Level 1, but you must correctly guess at least SEVEN. Level 9 - Same as Level 2, but you must correctly guess at least SEVEN. Level 10 - Same as Level 3, but you can only choose ONE game. Level 11 - Pick one game, Two players must shoot >55% or <25% taking 20 or more shots. Level 12 - Pick one game, One player must record > 45 pts, 25 rebounds, or 15 assists.
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.

Last, I just have to say that after missing out on some Celtics action (I was legitimately going to pick their game yesterday because I was hoping they'd throttle the Bobcats enough to get all 3 statistics), I'm going to stick with em and hope that they don't fail me against the T'Wolves. THIS LEVEL IS KILLING ME
