Pick the Winners 2008 edition
NO PICKS YET
Just letting people know that we will be doing this again this year. I know in the off season people are hit and miss around here so just wanted to give enough notice so when the pick list goes up on the 4th that everyone will be ready.
Also I am open to any bribes....err I mean recommendations for any changes.
Here's the rules as they have been the past 2 years.
"The rules are pretty simple.
At each National Event pick 5 drivers from the 4 pro categories. You can divide them up however you want, just make sure that if you pick a motorcycle that it is an event that they race at. And of course you can only pick a driver one time per race.
Points are awarded as follows
1 pt qualifying
1 point for each round win
bonus point for winning the race
So if your driver wins the race they would get 6 points, 4 points for runner up.
In the event that there is a tie for the event win, then the tie breaker will be the winning final round et in top fuel dragster. Whoever is closest to that wins, please guess out to x.xxx (ie 4.489) otherwise I will substitute 0 to fill out the number. The second tie breaker is whoever posted their picks first. (Since I post first I am disqualified on that tie breaker)
I will start a thread the Monday before an event for you to post your picks on. All picks are due by Friday midnight. With people's vacation/business travel I do accept picks early. Feel free to pm your picks, I will then post them once that weeks thread is started. You can not auto pick for the entire season as I feel people need to actively be apart of the game. You may also change your picks as many times as you'd like until the deadline. Just do so in a separate post.
Please remember to give me a full name or initial. We have 2 Kalittas, 2 Forces, 2 Capps, 2 Ashleys (Mike Ashley and Ashley Force) a ton of Johnson's as well as other doubles. If I can't figure out which one you mean I can't score it, thanks"
Still sound good to everyone?
Also, as always anyone who wants to be a prize sponsor just speak up

Re: Pick the Winners 2008 edition
The only change I would like to see is a reset of the points after Indy to match the Countdown.
