Winner takes the rest.

Pick the winner of these 5 matchups;

Tony Stewart v Kyle Busch

And predict the race winner, to break any ties.

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)

Ok lets get this season started, these are my picks for now, depending on a few things i may change them b4 the race starts Sunday.

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).

[Optional]

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!

[avssakic]

I take it the rule already went into effect then?

Went into effect yesterday.

I dunno. Sounds like a handy glitch!
