The rules are pretty much the same as last year. Any input welcome and appreciated.
2019 NASCAR Top 6 Pick'Em Contest Rules
1. Pick the top 6 finishers in each race, and enter your picks in the appropriate thread each week. Picks must be in the order of how you think they will finish.
2. There will be a Pole Position Pick thread for each event. Enter your pick for the pole winner 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. If A contestant picks 3 or more drivers from any group, then the highest finishing driver from that group will receive a score of 0.
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. Entries must specify the exact driver in the case of those with identical last names (example - Kyle/Kurt Busch) Entries with last name only will be awarded the points of the lowest finishing driver.
6. All picks must be entered by the deadline for each race and pole qualification. Generally that will be before the scheduled start time. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS!
7. Each race will have a tie-breaker pick which requires picking the finish position of a designated driver. If there is a tie for the winner, the contestant who most closely picked the finishing position of the tiebreaker will win. If there is a tie in the tiebreaker, then the person who made their picks first will be the winner.
Contest Format
1. Picking the pole position winner will earn 5 points. Note: If qualifying is canceled, there will be no bonus.
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.
5. Driver points are based on official NASCAR points awarded per finishing position, stage points, and bonus points.
Championship Rules:
The contest will follow the same format as the NASCAR Championship.
1. 16 people will make the Championship. A win in any of the first 26 races guarantees a spot in the field of 16. After all winners are filled in, the remaining spots will be added by overall points.
2. After the field of 16 is determined, all 16 will be reset to 2,000 points. After the points are reset, contestants will be given 15 bonus points for every regular season win.
3. After 3 races, points will be reset again and the field will be narrowed to 12 contestants. A win in any of the 3 races equals advancement into the next round. The rest of the field of 12 will be determined by order of points scored in the three races. The sequence will repeat for races 4-6, and again for races 7-9.
4. After The final 4 have been set, the highest finishing participant among the finalists at the final race at Homestead will be the champion.
