    NASCAR Weekly Picks Game - Daytona 500

    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: 75%
    Second: 25%


    Pick the winner of these 5 matchups;


    I will post 5 of the Head 2 Head matchups available at 5 Dimes. (as soon as possible after they post them)


    Also predict the RACE WINNER and HOW MANY CARS FINISH ON THE LEAD LAP to break any ties.

    Tiebreaker 1: Highest finish by race winner pick.
    Tiebreaker 2: Closest to number of lead lap finishers.
    Tiebreaker 3: 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.



    *Special notes: Your entry fee must be all paid before race start time this year. No paying me the next day like last year. Sorry, but I don't want the drama of people complaining about it. Also sorry if you don't like any of the rules, particularly the 3rd tie breaker. But I think it is required this year to make it fair. As I will be putting up the matchups before any practice sessions so there will be a distinct disadvantage to picking early. I doubt it will come into effect anyway, with the new second tiebreaker.

    Since I am leaving Thursday to go skiing for the weekend, I wanted to get my points in early. I have a feeling that I'm going to be sending in my picks from the Blackberry on top of a mountain!

    Tony's asleep at the bloody wheel over at 5D.

    Still no sign of the matchups.

    I'll make em up myself if they don't pull a finger out today.

    I like it Opti, 6 matchups instead of 5 & laps led as 2nd tie -breaker, nice way to make it more exciting.

    ^^ Only added the 6th late, as when I looked at the first 5 I could see it was going to get hard to find a unique set for late players.

    I don't think 5D comes up with as "interesting" matchups as I do myself. Was thinking we might go back to my own five next week, but was going to ask for opinions after we see how it goes here.

    If you have time Opti, I'd rather have your made up match-ups.
