How scoring works
R1 = 1pt · R2 = 2pt · Conf Final = 4pt · Cup Final = 8pt. Bonus: +1 per correct game-count prediction (only applies to picks that included a game count — so doesn't penalize people who only picked winners). Max without bonuses = 32 pts. With all game-count bonuses = 47 pts. The green bar = earned points. The faded green = still-achievable points (picks that haven't been decided yet and whose team is still alive).

What's the wildness score?
Measures how contrarian someone's picks are vs. regular-season standings. For each series: if you picked the underdog (fewer regular-season points), wildness += (points gap) × round weight (R1:×1, R2:×2, CF:×3, Cup:×4).
Chalk = played it safe · Mild = a few upsets · Bold = notable upsets · Feral = off the rails.
