| 2012 NASCAR Top 6 Pick'Em Contest Rules
I decided to re-post the rules from last year so everyone can refamiliarize themselves with how the game is played and scored.
2012 NASCAR Top 6 Pick'Em Contest Rules
1. Pick the top 6 finishers in each NASCAR Sprint Cup race, and enter your picks in the appropriate thread each week. Picks must be in the order of how you think they will finish. Each race will have a tie-breaker pick which requires picking the finish position of a designated driver.
2. There will be a Pole Position Winner thread for each event. Enter your pick and earn 5 bonus points if you pick correctly.
3. Picks are to be made from a seeded driver listing included in the entry thread. Drivers are split into three groups - A, B & C. You may only pick two drivers from each group.
4. As driver changes and drivers failing to qualify for races are common in Group C, contestants are responsible for making sure their picks are up to date before the deadline or risk receiving a 0 as a score for a driver not in the race. Updates will try to be given regularly to help avoid this.
5. Each contestant will have one “Mulligan”. This in effect means you get to drop your lowest score for the season. Missing a race means you receive 0 for your lowest race score.
6. Entries must specify the exact driver in the case of those with identical last names (example - Busch, Labonte, Gordon). Entries with last name only will be awarded the points of the lowest finishing driver.
7. All picks must be entered by the original listed deadline for each race and pole qualification. In the event of rain or a delay/postponement of the race, picks must still be entered by the original listed deadline. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS!
8. Tie-breakers will be - most weekly race contests won, or highest single race score, or most race winners picked, or most pole position winners. In the advent still tied, the winner is the highest scorer in the final race.
9. The Overall Season Champion will receive a $100 Amazon.com gift certificate courtesy of Freak.
Contest Format
1. Picking the pole position winner will earn 5 points.
2. Picking the race winner will earn 5 points.
3. Picking any three of the top six will earn 3 points, picking four will earn 4, picking five will earn 5, and picking all six will earn 6.
4. Picking the top three in correct finishing order earns 3 points, four earns 4, five earns 5, and six earns 6.
Example: You pick Stroker Ace and he wins and leads the most laps. Your other five picks finish 3rd, 5th, 6th, 20th and 30th. The driver finishing 3rd leads a lap. Your total score for that race is; 48+42+39+23+13 = 165 (driver points from NASCAR) plus bonus points for picking the winner and picking four in the top six are 5+4 = 9 for a total of 174. In this example, the pole position winner was not picked.
If there is a disagreement with your score for a given week, post your inquiry in the Pick'Em Results thread for the specific race. All disputes will be handled by SyxxSynse with all decisions final. Your entry each week is proof of agreement with all rules, and to abide with any decision made.
