The NASCAR Pick 'Em game, a regular feature on the Racing-Forums.com board since 2014, makes a Groundhog Day debut this season as it welcomes players to pick a driver of their choice for each of the 36 NASCAR Cup Series races.
The NASCAR Pick 'Em Game Rules For Dummies reads like this:
For each and every points paying NASCAR Cup Series race, each player selects a driver that is expected to have a relatively good finishing position in that race.
A particular driver may be used as a player's pick for one, and only one, race during the course of the season.
Game points are awarded based upon the finishing position of the player's pick in that race.
1st place finish = 1 point . . . . 40th place finish = 40 points, with all finishes in between awarded appropriately.
At season's end the game's championship is awarded to the player that has the fewest total points after the 36th and final points race.
RULES OF THE GAME
1 - For each race, beginning with the Daytona 500, each player submits a driver pick for that race.
2 - A driver may be used as a player's pick for one, and only one, race during the course of the season.
3 - Only the 36 points paying races are included in the game (the Busch Light Clash, the Daytona Duels, and the All-Star Race are excluded).
4 - Picks are to be submitted on the Racing-Forums.com board via a private "conversation" with pjmolo, game administrator.
a. Click on the pjmolo avatar
and then click on the "Start Conversation" tab.
b. The conversation "Title" should read NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024 and the message shall consist of the location of the race and the player's pick for that race.
c. Upon the receipt of the pick by the game administrator, a response message that confirms receipt of the pick will be sent to the player's "Inbox."
d. Picks for each subsequent race should be submitted by a response to the message that confirmed the pick of the previous race.
e. Consequently, each player is to utilize a single conversation that will be used to submit driver picks (and receive pick confirmations) throughout the season.
5 - Picks can be submitted in advance of a scheduled race anytime during the season .
6 - The deadline for the submittal of a pick for a given race is one hour prior to the scheduled start of that race, unless otherwise specified by the game administrator.
7 - A player's submitted pick for a given race may be changed provided the change is made prior to the pick deadline for that race.
8 - If a driver picked by a player does not appear on the entry list for that race (as posted on NASCAR.com), or if the driver was previously used by that player ("INELIGIBLE PICK"), the player will be awarded points equal to the number of drivers that started the race, plus one.
9 - If a driver picked by a player does appear on the entry list for that race (as posted on NASCAR.com), and that driver is then replaced by another driver prior to the start of the race, the "default driver pick" for that player will be the replacement driver, unless the player elects to select a different driver.
10 - If a player fails to make a driver pick by the pick deadline ("NO PICK"), the player will be awarded points equal to the number of drivers that started the race, plus one.
11 - After the pick submittal deadline for a race, players' picks are official and will be posted in the "NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024" thread specific to that race.
12 - For each race, the number of points equal to the finishing position of a player's pick (based upon NASCAR's official race results) will be awarded to that player.
13 - Race results and game standings will be posted to the "NASCAR Pick 'Em 2024" thread specific to that race.
14 - After the 36th and final points paying race, the game's championship will be awarded to the player with the fewest total points, that is, the player whose driver picks over the course of the season had the best average finishing position.
15 - In the event of a points tie among two or more players atop the leader board at season's end, then the game's championship will be awarded to the player (among those players) that had the most first place picks.
16 - In the event of a points tie, and a tie for most first place picks, among two or more players atop the leader board at season's end, then the game's championship will be awarded to the player (among those players) that had the most top five picks.
17 - In the event of a points tie, and a tie for most first place picks and top five picks, among two or more players atop the leader board at season's end, then the game's championship will be awarded to the player (among those players) that had the most top ten picks.
