Welcome to another running of the Racing Team Challenge!
This contest is open to anyone that wants to participate.
Here are the basic rules:
1. Pick 4 different drivers as your “team” that you think will have the best chance of finishing in the top 4 of the race. NO “TEAMS” CAN HAVE ONE DRIVER MORE THAN ONCE FOR A SINGLE RACE! HOWEVER, IF YOU WOULD LIKE, YOU CAN CHOOSE THE SAME DRIVERS EVERY WEEK.
2. The goal of this is to have the BEST average finish with the 4 drivers you pick.Example: If someone picked the drivers that finished 2, 4, 10, 17 (average finish - 8.25) and if someone else picked the drivers that finished 6, 7, 12, 27 (average finish - 13). The one with the average finish 8.25 would win as it is the best.
Your best average finish can be 2.5 and your worst can be 41.5. So, as long as you participate, that is 39 spots one can gain or lose per race!
3. Picks and weekly tie breaker can be changed until the start of qualifying. Any changes to your post after qualifying starts will have you disqualified for the race.
4. Missing a race from this or getting disqualified will get you an average finish of 45.5. That is the average finish for positions 44, 45, 46, 47. So make sure you don’t miss a race or get disqualified!
5. There are of course tie breakers for this contest. For the segment and the overall standing, that will be determined by the number of wins, followed by second place finishes, third place, and so on and so forth. Also, since there is a weekly winner, a tie breaker for it is needed. The tie breaker to help determine the weekly winner is:Without going over, where will Kevin Harvick finish in this race?
The weekly tie breaker will change per segment. Guesses for it will be first come first serve. So, please check everyone else's guess before making your own. IF EVERYONE GOES OVER, IT WILL BE THE CLOSEST BUT ONLY IF EVERYONE GOES OVER WITH THEIR GUESS.
6. The member that has the best average finish for each race will be awarded the weekly winner prize mentioned below. The member that has the lowest combined total from their average finishes for this segment will be awarded the segment prize mentioned below. The overall prize can be found on the standings and results thread (link located below).
7. Most important rule is to have fun doing this as well as watching the race.
PRIZES:
Weekly Prize: 100cc
Segment Prize: 2009 Wheels Autograph Matt Kenseth
Picks MUST be replied to this thread (do not PM me your picks) before the start of qualifying, and please only ONE entry post per race. You are allowed to edit you post until the start of qualifying, so there should NOT be one post for your team and one for your weekly tie breaker.
