Basic Scoring: From all eligible Entries received, each potential winner will be determined based on such Entrant\u2019s ability to use his or her skill and knowledge of NHL Hockey to accumulate the most points during the Promotion Period.

\nRound Three – Conference Finals: 50 points per correct team that advances to Round Four
\nRound Four – Stanley Cup Final: 100 points for correctly predicting the winner of the Stanley Cup Final Series matchup (i.e., the 2014 NHL Stanley Cup Champion)
\nIn the event a Series does not occur as scheduled (e.g., due to cancellation, postponement, etc.) no points will be awarded.<\/p>\n
