Announcement: Fantasy Game

[RobbyG Fan]

Last year, beginning at Sonoma, I ran a Fantasy Game where everyone in this board could participate in. Overall 37 members took part in the game at least once, but about 15 played with regularity. I would like this number to increase.

Im running the game this year again, and for those that played last year please come and play again. For those that are new, if you want to play please feel free to join.

Rules are pretty simple: pick the drivers you feel will finish in the top 10 of the weekends race by the deadline (before the first practice session). You score 5 points for correctly picking the winner, 3 points for correcting picking someone in the right finishing position, and 1 point for correctly picking someone who finishes in the top 10. Thats it. Same drivers can be used over and over, the goal is just to score the most points.

One change I will make this season: if you dont get your picks in time by the deadline, you will incur a 50% penalty, no ifs ands or buts. This way it eliminates any judgement calls. This season Im also going to do stats with the game, such as "Best Over Last 6 Races" and what not, to make it more fun.

Point of thread: Does anyone have any recommendations to make this game more fun and/or interesting? Everyone satisfied with the rules in place? Comments please.


Just so you know... this is how the points finished last season:

[24thunder]

I really like the new stats idea,also the new no-nonsense approach to meeting the deadline with the resulting penalties imposed,hope that one doesn't come back to bite Me :lol: Those should do nothing but help bring more players into the game. Thank You for not implementing some stupid play-off senario :lol:


I plan to be back in 2004,have to give bowtie some competition,right? :lol: What a points finish We had in 2003,only a 1 point difference,NASCAR should be that lucky :lol:

Thanks RobbyG Fan for continuing with this endeavor,it's appreciated

Perhaps NASCAR should entertain Ur ideas for a new points system

Robby G Fan, your the best! I'll be back after blowing my season point lead in the final four races! Hey Bowtie did you ever collect your $100,000.?

By the way, 24thunder, in keeping with the Nascar theme I want to announce that all players should expect mid-season rule changes and maybe a couple suspensions along the way, and quite possibly a playoff scenario will take place, held to my discretion of course, depending on what the current points standings look like.















Just kidding. :lol:
