Overview
This competition is a league over the 2010 NASCAR Chase races. The NASCAR format is that the top 12 drivers qualify to compete in “The Chase”. The chase is that last 10 races of the season, but it's not just the qualified drivers that compete - each race still has 43 drivers. Those drivers not in the chase are still battling away to get wins and to remain in the top 35 so they automatically qualify for the first races of the following season.
Competition
The objective of this competition is to pick the top 10 drivers of each race in the 2010 chase and to put them in the right order. You will be able to pick from all of the race entrants (including those that need to qualify to race). Each race will open when the entrants have been named and updated. If you register for this event, you will be notified by email when the picks are available and when the race will be locked. Typically, the race will open on a Tuesday or Wednesday and will lock before the race starts. You should be able to see the qualifying results prior to the race locking.
Points
At the beginning of each race, each entrant is awarded 150 points to start. Points are deducted for every position each of your 10 drivers finish from where you predicted them to finish (e.g. if you picked Juan Pablo Montoya to finish 10th and he wins, you would score -9). Points are always negative. Bonus points are awarded for correctly picking a driver's finishing position. Higher bonus points are awarded for picking the winner than picking 10th position. The bonus points for this competition are as follows:
Position | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
Bonus Points | 20 | 18 | 16 | 14 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 |
