PJ - do you happen to know what the lowest-point (worst) season for a player that submitted picks for every race is? Is there a Hall of Shame?

Maybe somebody will make a serious or deliberate effort at that record in the future.

I had a pretty rough year in 2022, probably one of the highest point totals in the history of this game.

Although there were numerous players that had extremely high point totals with their NO PICK's factored in, from 2018 through 2023 @JJ_14 takes the honors of having the highest point total among players that picked a driver for each of those season's 36 races.

Because race-by-race driver selections that would indicate NO PICK's are not available for the years 2014 through 2017, those years are not included.

Looking at this season's player point totals through 31 races, it appears that @JJ_14's shameful record is in serious jeopardy.

Thanks for doing this research. I knew I had a rough 2022, but didn't know it was record setting.

Looks like my record could be broken by @donthaveanickname this year.

You don't have to worry about @donthaveanickname as he had a NO PICK for the second Atlanta race.

However, there are several others that are in contention for the worst season ever.
 
In consideration of the fact that he has access to the driver picks of his competitors prior to the pick deadline for each race, current points leader ol'whatshisname has decided that it is only fair that he disclose his driver pick prior to the pick deadline for each of he five remaining races.

With that said, ol'whatshisname is going with Tyler Reddick in the Bank of America ROVAL 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. :dirtbike:

How sportsmanlike. Are you a Kiwi?

Just to make it fair, my picks are not going to change after you post yours.
 
I'll be watching from work. Fortunate to watch Xfinity today and watching Bathurst right now. Big day.
Oh I forgot America's Cup sailing this morning where we won the first 2 races of the final series.
Been a good day. 😊

I haven’t figured out how to watch Bathurst in the us. Normally I’m the one everyone asks about those things or technology in general.

Thanks PJ!

Looks like Ray and I are both on pace to out-do JJ . . . but I'm certainly not going to try for it. I've got some good drivers left and I'm going to run them - although that hasn't mattered a lick to date this year.

In that case, ol'whathisname has let it be known that after he thinks about picking a driver, then decides on one and posts it, then looks at @JJ_14's pick, then looks at it again later to see if he changed it or not . . . he won't change his pick based upon the bed-rock PICK 'EM game principal that says once you've made your choice of a driver, NEVER CHANGE YOUR PICK.

We appreciate your transparency - it's important when you're leading or in contention and you're doing it right
 
Should be a good one today.

Let’s go, Ess Vee Gee. And Bowman, of course. 🤓
 
The fact that @pjmolo still had Reddick available blows my mind.

Good luck to all participants, although I'm rooting for Briscoe and Smith.
 
I’ve had all my picks submitted since week 4. No point in changing things up now. But going with SVG at COTA or Watkins Glen instead of who I picked would have been smart. I just didn’t have him on my radar when I submitted my picks. Oh well! 🤷‍♂️
