    Alrighty, figured I’d get a good head start on this to hopefully get more people involved.
    Year 11 of The Season Predictions Game!!

    Last year: https://www.nbadraft.net/forums/topic/2022-season-predictions-game/

    The basics are:
    -Predict the rankings of each division from 1 to 15.
    -3 guesses each for NBA awards (with your most likely option first)
    -3 guesses each for each stat category leader (with your most likely option first)

    Scoring for rankings:
    -5 points for guessing the correct ranking of a team
    -3 points if your predicted ranking is one off from their actual ranking
    -1 point if you predicted if the team was in the correct range (playoff team, play-in team, non-playoff team)

    Scoring for awards/stats:
    -5 points if your first pick was correct
    -3 points if your second pick was correct
    -1 point if your third pick was correct

    Predictions and changes to your predictions can be made up until tip off of the first regular season game.
    I’ll put mine out here soon and then everyone can use that format after (would make my life easier if you did haha).
