Bring what you've got ÒÓ , I'm looking forward to a close finish and the battle for 3rd should be good too.

Optional · 09-10-11, 03:43 PM

Glad I'm not punting for the club this week! Too hard.

onlooker · 09-10-11, 09:33 PM

Incredible. All my drivers are crashing. They are seriously trying to make me blow 2nd spot.

Good thing I had a good padding, because that was a terrible display by my drivers.

It mentions segment 3 on the front page of game. I can't see how to add picks for it yet either though.

Sure it will appear in time.

rickie65 · 09-17-11, 09:59 AM

THE CHASE IS ON!! are you ready??

I was wondering the same thing. I noticed that entry during the Atlanta race.

Optional · 09-17-11, 03:43 PM

I'll delete them and anyone else not here anymore like YPA.

You in again Looker?

Everyone want to go with 3 paid places again? Or just 1st and second this time?

leadfootfred · 09-18-11, 12:39 AM

I'm easy Opti... guess it depends on how many are in.

onlooker · 09-18-11, 12:34 PM

I'm in.

CarolinaDaze · 09-18-11, 12:56 PM

Well that sucked ass they locked it at 1et for a race starting at 2et, ive contacted ESPN, they gonna talk with there IP i submitted my Drivers to them to see if they can manually add them, but i doubt it. Oh well, waiting till the last minute finally cost me big time.

That sucks CD... would you like your 100 back or think you can make it up over the other 9 races?

Keep checking though, with delayed start they might unlock it again. They must have made a mistake to lock it an hour pre-race.

Just want to confirm if everyone is still in for our 25 per week too? (obviously you won't be this week if you didn't put a team in CD, but for ongoing I assume yes?)

CarolinaDaze · 09-18-11, 01:38 PM

Yeah i'll give it a shot for the last 9 races, if you guys are scared i'll even spot you another week of not making a team

And yes im in for the 25 starting next week.

ESPN even admitted they made a scheduling mistake, but thats life. GL See you guys next week.

Chicagoland Results

6 starters for the Chase. But both CD and WolverineFan missed selecting teams first race. (Not sure what happened, but same offer to you as CD if you want to pull out WF)

Slightly adjusted the prizes so 2nd place pays a bit better.

1st Place: 400 Points
2nd place: 150 points
3rd place: 50 points

Optional 155
leadfoot_fred 152
onlooker 146
bigdaddyjames 138
rickie65 119
CarolinaDaze 0
WolverineFan 0

I win the 25s this week.

(CD and WF are excused)

Also, BigDaddyJames and Roush Rockets please check in as I am going to remove anyone not involved here before next race.

leadfootfred · 09-19-11, 06:45 PM

Roush Rockets must be actively following it because he\she filled out a team for the Chase (and has had a team since segment 1).

I sent a message via ESPN:

Hi Casey, we noticed you in our group but none of us are sure who you are. (I think you changed your team name) Could you check in at SBR - Nascar sub-forum and give us a heads up? Thanks and Good luck.

Leadfootfred suggested that we scratch this race from the comp due to ESPNs error with the closing time.

That sounds fair to me. Onlooker and Rickie? You guys ok with that too?

Sorry bout this but ESPN truely blew it, Last session i picked my team 30 minutes b4 race time every race. On the phone they admitted to me they thought it was a 1ET start, i told them come on Ya'LL F**king ESPN

Not sure what to do to make this right, i even submitted my team to them 45 minutes b4 SUNDAYS start time, they pretty much acted like there IP people would do something about it, but i got that feeling they were just blowing smoke up my ass.

Sounds good to me, give everyone a fair shake.

Also, can I suggest a different payout?

1st 350
2nd 150
3rd 100

I think you should at least get your buy-in back for 3rd.

Sounds good. I hope more people start to join this over time, so we can make the payouts higher on all 3 spots.

Optional · 09-24-11, 07:46 PM

They'll need to do it before green flag tomorrow. Or they'll be waiting until 2012 to play.

Has everyone updated their team for this week? No more mulligans.
