THANKS FOR POSTING THE RULES YISMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**5mike5** · 02-23-14, 02:12 PM

PIT CREW points are positions lost on and off pit road

*****BUT that could be because of a 2 vs 4 tire strategy call???

i think thats just plum stupid to give 5 teams 10 bonus poins for that shit

Definitely looks like a decent strategy. There is 70+ points difference between the best and worst score in that category on our leaderboard.

It's pretty counter-intuitive if you ask me.

Imagine this discussion.

Driver A: I won the race, so I have bragging rights this week.

Driver B: Check NASCAR.com, the OFFICIAL site. You had the pole so you were a ZERO. You did NOTHING this week. I started 40th and finished 15th so I'm +25. I'm awesome. I win again.

(this is especially ridiculous at tracks where pole winners have historically not won very often)

**5mike5** · 02-23-14, 02:15 PM

just a GOD-AWFUL points system we are stuck in @ nascar.com fantasy imo....

IT is just pathetic (IMO)

nascar.com's fantasy game is by far the worst I have ever played

**onlooker** · 02-23-14, 02:18 PM

Yeah. This is going to be interesting this year. Total different game.

Fuking ESPN.

**CarolinaDaze** · 02-23-14, 02:22 PM

Well you guys can cry all you want, cause I asked for every ones input on a new site to use. All I heard was SALARY, SALARY, SALARY. Its what we got to use now, lets make the best of it. I don't care if King Petty & Danica run a foot race around the damn track, I plan on picking the winner and beating you guys.

i said all along wait til we play a segment and because things changed dramatically is why i think all the bitching including me..

i do LIKE that its MUCH MUCH tougher to pick a 5-man lineup...was very easy on espn game..makes u think alot more ill give it that and love that feature

just tough when i didn't know what pts were scored for what, questions about pit crew pts when 1 team gets just gas other tak4 ect ect

we are still all competiting under the same rules like u said and im plan on kicking all ur arses too btw

**yisman** · 02-23-14, 02:27 PM

we could not count place differential and award our prizes accordingly

I don't think anyone picked factoring that in?

It's all ESPN's fault. No fault of yours.

We just have to adjust our thinking in this game this year.

Can I have my segment and yearly points back?

**yisman** · 02-23-14, 02:30 PM

I think Danica would win, btw

I absolutely did, I read the rules and figured it out. I wanted Austin Dillion on my team for the long haul, but no way was I taking him this week with him 1st on pole. I took Brad K, JJ, & even Michael strictly on them starting at back of pack.

Yeah I thought about it too

**5mike5** · 02-23-14, 02:38 PM

(ILL READ ALLTHE RULES B4 PHOENIX NEXT WEEK FOR SURE)

I picked counting on place differential for points, but may cost me on lead laps and fast laps if they all ride around the back most of the race. 4 of my 5 drivers started in the 30's, but am confused on if they are using qualifying spot or based on starting from the back as so many did. Will prob only use that strategy on a plate track tho. This games as much of a crapshoot as the race itself. Won't know how any of this shakes out until it's over.

**Optional** · 02-23-14, 02:42 PM

Rickie might be right.

Place differential may not not be so huge on smaller tracks.

No, that was at foxsports

There are no limits here, and if a driver's value goes up, you are locked into his old price as long as you keep him. If his value goes down, that IS reflected when you hit the "Renegotiate" button (don't see it now but will during week when rosters can be set).

Can someone verify if they are using qualifying position, or start position? Like Truex for example.

Place Differential:
Starting position (based on official qualifying order)

I looked at this and none of my picks even qualified well so I don't get why I'm being penalized so heavily

I guess my drivers just stink today and are currently at the back.

they are in the back on purpose right now Yiser....i have most back there as well but thats the plan

to stay out of trouble the 1st half at least of the race....not gonna really get going 50-75 laps to go (imo)

but we are in fine shape with those guys

**shaunovery** · 02-23-14, 03:06 PM

I did suggest cdmsports.com

**5mike5** · 02-23-14, 03:07 PM

Ambrose got lucky, ran over something on pit road (from danica) but still got to change 2 tires and just small damage done

Its Official Qualifying Position, so in the Truex case, he was 2nd in qualifying and that's what they use for him, not where he started in back of pack. Where as all the other drivers that wrecked had NOT Qualified yet, they Will get the Quality Passes from back of pack.

**shaunovery** · 02-23-14, 03:18 PM

It's from there official qualifying position regardless if they started last

Yeah. I answered my own question in the next post.

Just have to read the rules closely.

**CarolinaDaze** · 02-23-14, 04:06 PM

I wanted to revisit this idea from last year, but was gonna let things settle in 1st week but..... Any of you guys who play poker here, i'd like to play every week or every other week, to complete our Poker Roll Overs. I'm thinking maybe we start 15-30 minutes after the race starts? Its a time where we are all watching the race, so we should be near our CPs. If I gotta lose, at least it would be to you guys who could use the points for weekly entries?

**rickie65** · 02-23-14, 06:22 PM

Have my kids every other weekend so my attendance will be hit-or-miss but would play when I can. Would be nice to keep the points in the nascar family

**LT Profits** · 02-23-14, 07:13 PM

Race scheduled to resume at 8:30 ET

**5mike5** · 02-23-14, 07:21 PM

fox starts reairing live at 8pm

**sweep** · 02-23-14, 08:37 PM

thank god i had a back-up 30pk!

**CarolinaDaze** · 02-23-14, 09:11 PM

The Live Scoring Board is Cool, it actually updates within 2 laps of actual race, showing your Line Up & League Standing on same page. ESPN use to lock up and be 2 far behind. Like I said guys its Chess this year Not Checkers, give it time.
