In addition to our annual Standings-based predictions contest, I thought I’d throw something new out there for the upcoming season. This is a 15-question yes/no contest based strictly on the Atlantic Division. There is also a tiebreaker question that will only come into play if we don’t have have a winner after grading the 15 questions.
You’ve got a couple days to get your answers in, but make sure you answer the questions in the proper order! Might be a good idea to copy and paste the questions into the comment section and answer them that way.
