    Yahoo! Fantasy NASCAR

    I know this is late notice, but I was wondering if anyone is interested in doing a contest for the Yahoo game? I'd be willing to handle the points.

    the picks were in for everyone, I didn't go look at opti's entry yesterday but I was thinking it was like your picks, rob

    if others try to view your entry, it at first looks like no picks. It displays oddly.

    ok so we have 4 people in. Everyone is doing weekly as well as segment/season?

    Remember to pick your drivers today.

    With this group, I guess I should say by Feb. 26, 4 a.m. CST. Covering a lot of time zones with this small group.

    Why do you need to set your roster by middle of the bloody week

    Confused with all these time zones

    Shaun, just pick your drivers on Mondays and you'll be ok.

    I'm ok with using the first race scores. Shaun will have to take a 0, but he can throw that one out as his low score. He'll also have a bit of an advantage since he'll have four more starts with drivers available than the rest of us, so it's kind of a wash.

    I just want to make sure everyone realizes that you have to be committed to playing this contest for the entire season, since we're limited to the number of times we can use each driver. It wouldn't be fair to the others if one player used up the top drivers in the first two segments and then decided to quit.
    It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to put in 8 drivers early in the week in case you forget to do so before the deadline. You can always change any of them prior to the deadline before qualifying.

    I probably put too much emphasis with the points on winning each week compared to winning the segments and for the season, since this contest is more about budgeting your drivers. But we can go with that for this time.

    Hope everyone remembered to select their Vegas team before the deadline.
    Does anyone know what happens if you forget? Do you still keep the drivers you picked for the previous race or is your roster wiped clean and you get zero points?

    you keep drivers

    so opti once stopped setting his roster I think and just had the same guys each week and they got points until they ran out of starts
