This league
is based on the official NASCAR® Nextel Cup points system. Drivers in each
team's lineup will earn the same number of points that are awarded under the
Nextel Cup® formula.
League Commissioner:
Susan Krueger
Entry Fee:
No fee.. This is a free game. No prizes.
How to play:
Each week each team picks 5 drivers
acquired online using the online form and carry a max salary cap limit of
$160,000.00. The drivers salaries will remain the same for the first
three races. After that the salaries will change each week based on
driver performance. If you fail to change your lineup that week, the
driver will the lowest salary will be dropped to keep you under the salary
cap. You should receive a confirmation email to confirm your lineup.
If you don't get one, that means it hasn't been submitted. If you have
problems using the online form, I will accept lineups by email as long as
they are submitted before the deadline.
Points are awarded based on NASCAR points.
However, if NASCAR penalizes the driver, then points will be deducted from
the team as well. The team with the most points will be declared the
weekly winner. The season is split into two half's. A first half
and second half winner will be declared as well as a season winner.
Teams:
Teams will be based on 5 drivers acquired online using our
form and carry a max salary cap limit of $160,000.00. Popular cars
can and probably will be drafted and run each week by multiple teams.
Players will be allowed to own and run one team.
League Data/Driver Changes:
Preliminary driver salaries will be posted by 8:00 pm every Wednesday.
The salaries could change until qualifying results are posted. They may
change due to car/driver changes. This league is run on the driver. If
I driver does not make the race or is replaced before race time, it is your
responsibility to update your lineup before the race. Always
check the results header at the top of the League's main page as occasionally
this will be delayed by NASCAR and penalties! Timely drivers changes are very
important, if one or more of your drivers fail to qualify and you do not make
driver changes, you're just SOL... Additionally, as the season progresses
drivers salaries will change. If your team exceeds the salary cap due to these
salary changes and you fail to make roster changes before race time, your
lowest salaried driver will be removed before processing the weekly race
results. This will result in your team being scored with only 4 drivers due to
salary cap violations. All Team lineup changes must be received before race
time. A confirmation email is sent to your email address. If you do
not receive it, email me with you picks. It is your responsibility to check and make sure
your lineups are correct. Please check your lineups just before the start of
each race and
E-mail racing@susankrueger.com if incorrect. Once a race starts there will be NO
changes!
Other Salary notes: I am using a
third party software to manage this league (GFR Cup). They provide to me
the driver salaries each week. The salaries are based on the driver/car
performance and may be updated during the week if a driver/car announcement is
made during the week. Example: Mike Wallace was listed as the
driver of the 35 car for $1000. Later in the week, it was
announced that he would replace Jimmy Spencer in the 4 car. Jimmy
Spencer's salary in the 4 car was $20,000. When Mike Wallace replaced
Jimmy, his salary became $20,000. So, how can Bill Elliott be only
$1000? Well, neither Bill Elliott nor the 98 car has raced
consistently this year. The salaries are based on car and driver
performance over the this years races.
Points System:
Points are awarded in declining order from the winner on down. 5 Bonus
points are awarded to the winner. Positions 2
thru 5 have a 5-Point difference, 6 thru 10 have a 4-Point difference and
positions 11 thru 43 have a 3-Point difference. These are based on NASCAR
official points. Please see the scoring page for each place scoring
Bonus Points:
Bonus points are awarded to the driver that leads the most laps (5 points - 1
driver) and for any driver who leads at least one lap in any race. (5 points -
any driver) The first place finisher of each race can gain a possible point
total of 190 points. This is the highest possible total for each event.
Special Note:
In case one of your drivers loses points due to a penalty imposed by NASCAR,
you will also lose those points. Hey! They lose, you lose!!!
