    Back by popular demand, the NHL Playoff BIF.

    Following last year's guidelines, we're looking at 66 - 90 ounces.

    Stanley Cup winner = 7 boxes
    Stanley Cup Runner Up = 3 boxes
    2 Semi final losers = 1 box each

    12 boxes, four winners = 16 entrants.

    I'd like to get a final "yay" or "nay" on whether you are participating by this Friday so I can solicit other interested parties in order to get the selection draft underway as soon as we know the players.

    Here's last year's entrants:

    I'm out but will be watching. Hope a couple BA's from this can join the regular season BIF next year!

    Let's go Rangers!

    Seems that way. Good luck!

    Nervous about my goalies but thankful that I'll only face the King twice this week (unless they sit him for since they are playing Carolina and Buffalo). Wish I had the points for how my team has played the past few days (Parise, Kessel). Was thinking about dropping Parise as he has been incredibly cold, then he goes and gets a hat trick in the 1st period the other night, along with 2 more the other day. Wish Malkin wasn't hurt!

    If this fills and more people still want in I'll duck out, while I'd like to do this I have a lot on my plate financially lately and while I'd definitely be able to do a box, saving the money would be nice. Of course other side of the same coin if we don't fill or have trouble filling or I make exactly 16, count me in

    So far I've had 1 for 1 swap ins/outs for 2 people, as @Lazhal is also in, so that makes 10 not including you. Looks like we have 2 more expressing interest above as well, so I'll pencil them in since I still haven't heard from a few more - which gives us 12, not including you. Let me crank on getting four more before I can guarantee anything, but I haven't reached out to the Fantasy BIF league yet either. I'm going to guess that you are safe, but let me count the unhatched eggs first.

    I'm still waiting to hear back from 5 people, and there looks to be a new opening, so I'm going to say you three are likely safe to jump in but let me make it "official" come Saturday, when I was looking for all responses anyway. If there's too few spaces left, I will do the first come, first serve thing.

    Let me know if you need any more clarification on the bottle requirements.

    No worries. I'm in, and will of course fulfill obligations if I have to send a box, just saying that if for some reason you end up with 17+ interested parties (including myself), to feel free to cut me. No need to even run it past me first, I'll keep an eye on the thread and when you post the final list of participants I'll see if I'm in or not haha
