i went back and looked at it. i think it's designed to take out the pick in which the opponent won (had greater than 50% of) their previous series, but i did it both ways. it’s pretty clear that it needs Rule 5, but i’m not sure which is the better way to go, overall WP or series. i hope this formatting comes out okay, this was the best way to compare the 2. they both have pros and cons. what do you think?
number of series in which the team lost all 4 of its games on the road:
2014: 10
2013: 9
2012: 7
2011: 9
