    2012 Nascar Season Long Picks Game

    Same as last year, we will have a weekly Head 2 Head Picks Game for each race. (in a separate thread each week)

    2 points from each entry will go toward this season long prize pool.

    Prizes will be awarded for three separate 12 race segments.

    Based on last year, we should end up with 400-500 points for prizes per segment.

    1st Place: 60%

    2nd Place: 25%
    3rd Place: 15%

    Number of correct race winners picked will be the tie breaker. Split points after that.

    Only each player's best 11 results per segment will count for scoring. (so we can miss a week without penalty)



    This thread will be to keep a tally of the leaderboard week to week only.

    There is no payment required here for entry. Just look for the Daytona 500 Picks Game thread to get started playing.

    I'll get the leaderboard up after this race, then DDT is going to look after it each week.

    You were consistent last year! This year you need to actually pick the right side occasionally ;-))

    Phoenix Results

    And we are away! Finally :-)

    22 players last week and 20 this week takes the prize pool to 84 points so far.

    Onlooker is starting the year with the type of consistency he craved, and takes the early lead for segment 1.

    Fontana Results

    18 players = 36 points added to prize pool. Now 190 points.

    After a second below par week from Onlooker the chasing pack has swamped him and made it a 5 way tie for the lead, with 12 players within 2 points of first.

    Martinsville Results

    16 players = 32 points added to the prize pool. Now 222 points.

    Onlooker was the only one of our tied top 5 to score better than 2 this week, so jumps out to a clear lead again. Dew and DDT make the biggest gains in the chase.

    Still 13 players within 5 points of the lead but 3 of the pre season favorites, Rickie, Leadfootfred and Lovetogamble are starting to lose the draft...

    Texas Results

    16 players = 32 points added to prize pool. Now 254 points.

    Yisman pulls out a solo 5 just at the right time to leapfrog everyone into a clear lead with just 5 races left in the segment. And the top 5 pulls a small gap on the pack.

    Richmond Results

    14 players = 28 points added to the prize pool. Now 314 points.

    Despite me thinking that was tough lot we scored our highest average of the year, since Daytona believe it or not.

    Yisman skips out to a 2 point lead with just 3 races left in the segment.

    Should be a good finish. Anyone who has played each week can still take the win, and even most of those who haven't still have a chance.

    Yes... 3 x 12 race segments. We all start from zero again after Charlotte.

    Dega Results

    17 players = 34 points added to the prize pool. Now 348 points.

    Yisman stumbles with a 2, but only DDT and Leadfootfred made up any ground amongst the leading chances, leaving Yis still 2 points clear with just 2 races to go.
