    NASCAR Weekly Picks Game - Daytona

    Pros: 22 points to play
    Non-Pros: 4 points minimum (see bottom of post for non-pro rules)

    2 points from each entry goes into the Season Long Pool.

    Winner takes the rest.

    Pick the winner of these 5 matchups;

    Tony Stewart v Kyle Busch
    Jamie McMurray v Dale Earnhardt Jr
    Carl Edwards v Kevin Harvick
    Regan Smith v Trevor Bayne
    Paul Menard v Brad Kesolowski


    And predict the race winner, to break any ties.

    Tiebreaker 1: Highest finish by race winner pick.
    Tiebreaker 2: First person to have posted their picks.

    Please post your points when you pick by clicking the gold coin icon bottom left of this post.

    Make or Change your picks anytime up until actual race start time. Scheduled for 1:00pm Eastern on Sunday.



    Non-Pro Rules

    4 points entitles you to claim 20% of the weekly prize pool. For every extra 2 points you post you can claim an additional 10% of the prize pool.

    You are eligible for 100% of the Season Long pool.

    If a Non-Pro wins, the un-claimed portion of the prize jackpots to the following race.

    (please let me know if you are a non-pro who wants to do 7 transfers for a race and I will start putting the thread up on Mondays for you)

    Wouldn't the initial 4 points from Non-Pro's only get you 10% of the weekly prize pool? That is, if the initial 2 points go to the season-long contest, the remaining 20 points could be made up in 10% increments (2pts).

    LOL. Should have known someone would say that. If you read the other thread I said I was going to make it 15%, to offset the extra effort and fact most casual non-pro players won't be competing for the season pool, where 50% of their entry effectively goes.

    After thinking about it more, I decided that 4 points is 18% of 22, and someone was sure to mention that, so I'd make it 20%. I figure that will make about a 60 odd point prize if a non-pro wins, which I think is getting near enough to make it 'exciting' for them.

    And the good part for pros if a non-pro wins, we get an extra big pool to compete for 100% of next race.

    If anyone thinks that sounds unfair let me know though.

    That's weird YPA... looks like you managed to transfer 2 x 2 points to me today, but only one of them shows up in the thread.

    This is going to become a huge pain in the butt if the board can't keep a list of the transfers correctly!

    The first time I tried to transfer 22 --- just to see if it would go through.

    I then transferred 2. Which means, it should work just fine if we transfer only 2 per day.

    So, note everybody, Do not try to transfer more than 2 points as a non-pro!

    I will get in this before the green. I still need to go over the drivers. I can't wait until this weekend is over, so I can get started in NASCAR.
