Im in this year, just tell me what to do?
You pick eight drivers from the starting lineup for each race. The twist is that you pick the ones that will finish in the back.

Winner is determined by the sum of all the NASCAR drivers points those drivers get.

You killed the game by starting the thread on Saturday night! :lol:

Whatever, it's not like we can't start the season next week and use Daytona as a "practice session".

Well I figured with daytona being a crap shoot anyways, we would start it next week

Since we lost the Low Ball spreadsheet, I'm not sure if using the old scoring system will work. That's a lot of work to do!

I know it sounds lazy, but maybe we can go by NASCAR's point system....

1st 185

2nd 170

3rd 165

4th 160

5th 155

...and so on

or F1's system.

  • 1st: 10
  • 2nd: 8
  • 3rd: 6
  • 4th: 5
  • 5th: 4
  • 6th: 3
  • 7th: 2
  • 8th: 1

Just throwing out ideas there. At the least, it doesn't really hurt to play during a restrictor plate race like in the past.

BTW, here's the general format for each week...

1. ______________

2. ______________

3. ______________

4. ______________

5. ______________

6. ______________

7. ______________

8. ______________

Tie Breaker Points: ###

To anyone that doesn't know, the tie breaker is a guess of what your final score will be. It is used in case two players has the same score. Whoever's actual score is closer to their tiebreaker score wins the tiebreaker.

Then again, I'm not really sure if it made any sense in the past. :lol:

Okay, I'll put up a line up for tomorrow's race. Just for fun! :D

1. Terry Labonte

2. Michael Waltrip

3. Regan Smith

4. Marcos Ambrose

5. Bobby Labonte

6. Bill Elliott

7. Scott Riggs

8. Scott Speed

Tie Breaker Points: 612

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
