Hello TCDBers, and welcome to Day 14, the final day of basketball-related questions. Finally!

All questions will be open for answering for at least 24 hours after the timestamp of the post announcing that the question is open. Due to tomorrow being a different schedule than usual for me, I am posting this now. I will keep the final day's question open for answers until at least 8:00 AM EDT Monday morning.

I will reveal the answer in the Giveaway Manager area signalling that the window is closed and will reveal the answers given.

Day 14's question (worth 1 points out of a total of 21 points possible) is located here:

Simply post your answers by typing in the "Leave a Response" area. Remember, if you think you got the answer incorrect and want to change it, just leave another response. Your last response will be the one that counts.

Discussion about the content of the question will not be allowed here. Questions regarding procedure or rules is allowed. I want to ensure everyone that wants to participate has the ability to do so.

Good luck everyone.

A score sheet (which will be updated daily, but only after the previous day's question has been closed to answers) is located here:

One final note - There is a bonus score to be added to everyone's total - so 21 points is not the actual total points. I have decided to add an additional 21 points to anyone who participated every day. Anyone who participated daily will receive a prize.(As of this moment, there is one member in jeopardy of losing these points for Day 13's answer.) There have been 20 members who have participated daily who, if they participate in today's question, will receive a prize. The google sheet will reflect the bonuses after I post Day 14's results on Monday. Good luck to all!

This has been a lot of fun. Thanks Dan!

I second this. Awesome effort, Dan. 

I agree. A huge shoutout to Dan for hosting this wonderful event for everyone.

Great game and a lot of fun.  I learned a lot about how basketball-reference.com worked.  

I had a family problem so I had to miss a few, But great contest Dan. And good luck to everyone. 

I'm glad everyone has enjoyed this contest. I definitely like the format of no real time pressure (except you do only have about a 24-hour window so you need to check in daily).

John, I too learned a lot over at basketball reference. :) I would come up with an idea, then go find how to make the question fit the idea. My personal favorites are the "Who am I?" questions. But they usually take me 30-60 minutes each to research (well, sometimes 5-10 minutes of research and 40-50 minutes of rabbit holes). LOL

The final question will close at 9:00 AM EDT tomorrow - About 10 hours to go.

Looking at my scoresheet, looks like all my regulars have already answered. We do have some perfect scores (surprising!) so we will have a spin-off at some point tomorrow to determine the top prize rankings. I have done live-streaming on Twitch (for a video game) so I will see if I can run the wheel-o-prizes on it and that way people can watch live (if they want to / can) or can watch it later at their leisure. If I can't get that working, I'll simply use my phone to video it and throw it on YouTube. I've never streamed on there before, so I don't know how to do that. Maybe a first for me there. We'll see how things go. If I can get my microphone to pick up my voice for Twtich, I'll use that. In any event, everone will be able to watch the selections if they wish. (Better than simply using random.org.)

Thanks for the contest as well.  I am not a big basketball fan but I have a better knowledge of the sport by looking these questions up.  I would have been perfect if I put in the number of playoff teams two less that the actual answer.  But i'll be happy with what I get.

Thanks for doing this Dan! Trying to find or compute some of these answers was a challenge. I failed on a few. It was fun and I know more about some areas of Basketball than I did before. Thanks, RJ

Thanks everyone for participating. All answers are now closed. I will have final tallies up in a little bit (with the google sheet updated in about an hour or so) and any tie-breakers will occur later this afternoon or this evening (may have to wait until I'm done with work).

We had 43 members answer at least 1 question along the way, and we had 5 perfect scores (and 8 nearly perfect!).

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who participated. I really enjoy hosting these.
