Tough match-ups Optional. Good work.

I agree, but they shouldn't be tougher really. I usually do my stats first and try and pick 50/50 matchups from that. Oh well, maybe heart instead of head is better for this.

Hmmm.. we all want Smoke for the win. Might have to re-think mine.

Just changed my winner to Jimmie Johnson. Have to try and bet Rickie. Can't have the same winner pick as him if I want to try and win it.

[Optional]

LOL. I was thinking the same thing when I saw his.

Just changed my winner to Jimmie Johnson. Have to try and bet Rickie. Can't have the same winner pick as him if I want to try and win it.

uh-oh, am I starting to manipulate the board a little...LOL? I actually have $$ on JJ so I went with Tony on this. Top 2 picks this week IMO but some other good options out there too.

by the way, I kind of hate that I won on a 37 minute time deal last week and just happened to be first to post this week as well, I think we should throw out the time tiebreaker since it's more timing coincidence than anything. justmy thought....

[Optional]

Glad to see we guilt-ed you Ricky! ROFL

Don't worry, everyone is very happy to see your success. Gives us a "baddie" to try and beat up on now!

And if anybody else hates the time of post tiebreaker rule let me know. Just thought it was best to have a definite winner than splitting the prize and couldn't think of another easy way without getting all complex about it.

By posting later you get the advantage of seeing everyone elses first, so nothing wrong with giving the advantage to the early poster in the tiebreak too I think.

[soxwin1917]

unreal...I had all 5 right but changed my top one because someone had already posted the same picks and tiebreaker...knew I should have changed my TB and not the pick.

damn

[Optional]

@soxwin1917, I only count 4/5 for you? Harvick beat Burton in the first matchup.

@ojs69, Don't forget to post your 15 points for this week sometime.

Mr Nuts is a clear winner this week, and lucky for him as he would have had JJ in 25th representing in any tiebreaker.


Mr Nuts - 5
CarolinaDaze - 4
hawk 5 - 4 (+winner)
soxwin1917 - 4
rickie65 - 3

Hawk5 and Avssakic picked Bowyer to win, which will help their Chase series tally. (standings for that here)

Congrats Mr Nuts, I will transfer your 165 points prize as soon as everyone has a chance to check I've made no mistakes.

Hope to see you all again next week.

[soxwin1917]

Yeah I only had 4/5, I changed that one because I had exactly the same picks including the tiebreaker as Mr Nuts and he posted first. So I would have had all 5 but lost.

Oh well, thanks as always for running these contests.

[Optional]

Oh I see.

That does suck and blow.

[CarolinaDaze]

Congrats Nuts, good round.

[Jay Price]

Congratulations Nuts!
