Hand over my heart, this is 100% truth ...

Of my last 17 teams that have hosted a playoff series. On the opening night of said playoff series, my teams are a combined 4-18.

I shit you not, despite being the "in theory" better team, my teams have won 4 out of my last 22 home openers in the playoffs.

And these teams had a combined winning % of .586 in the regular season and a home winning % of .602 in the regular season.

Yet their winning % on opening night of home playoff series is .182!

That is totally insane!

I'll take that as a compliment coming from you ...

Are you using David Price, by chance?

I hacked the computer and found this code, but, I don't know if it has anything to do with you.

If nickname = 'Egvrich' and home = 'y' and playoff = 'y' and opening_night <> 'false'
set diceroll_factor = default * 1.9
set awayteam_result = default + .39
set win_probability = 100 * .182

else
continue
endif

The most incredible thing is your 17 teams played 22 opening games instead of 34.

Huh???

17 teams can each only play 1 opening game (not opening night) per series. 5 of the 17 advanced (showing how important losing game 1 is by the way) and were home team for the next round of the playoffs hence 22 games.

What are these “playoffs” you speak of?

Should get honorable mention for best response ever, and winner in the self deprecation category.
