The entire season will be done out of this thread.
Rules are simple:
1. Pick who you think will be the top 5 finishers of the select race(s) for that particular weekend.
2. Points will be awarded if a driver you pick finishes in one of the following:
a. in the exact position you have the driver listed = 2 points
b. in the next position higher or lower you have the driver listed = 1 point
3. Bonus points are awarded for the following:
a. A driver picked wins the pole for the event (must have picks in prior to qualifying to be eligible) = 1 point
b. A driver picked leads a lap = 1 point
c. A driver picked leads the most laps = 1 point
d. A driver picked flips over during the race weekend without serious or fatal injury = # of times the driver flipped
e. NEW for 2012! The Busch Pole Award... 1 bonus point will be given to the competitor who posts the first picks for a race weekend. However, you must wait till the previous race weekend is finished before posting picks for the next weekend.
Some examples:
Ex. 1: Say Cartman picks for all four series for a particular weekend fisrt, then he would get a bonus point for all four series. However, if he for say, has to go out of town and posts picks for say Las Vegas before the Daytona 500 has concluded, then he will NOT be eligible for the Busch Pole Award point.
Ex. 2: Say Vercetti gets his picks in first for the Vegas Cup race but doesn't post picks for the Nationwide race... then he will get a point for Cup, but then the first one to post NW picks gets the point for the NW series.
For fairness... I am not running beer sponsors on my car this year and am excluded from the Busch Pole Award...
The Winston Million! (a possible 25 point bonus if a player can win two of the four eligible rounds, a 50 point bonus if a player can win three of the four eligible rounds!)
