    NASCAR 10 Week Chase Pool

    This thread is just to keep track of entries for the 10 week competition. Please use the actual race week's thread to post your picks.

    100 points to play.

    Winner: 65% (~650 points)
    2nd: 20%
    3rd: 15%


    Pick the most total correct Head to Head matchups in our weekly picks contest over the 10 Chase races.

    Tiebreaker 1: The highest number of actual race winners picked over the 10 races.
    Tiebreaker 2: Best finish by race winner pick at Homestead.

    If still tied, prizes are split.

    Post your 100 points against this post, by the 3rd race, but please signify your entry ASAP in this thread.

    If you need more than 3 weeks to save up 100 points, that's fine, just PM me and let me know.

    *Late entries accepted up until the start of race 4. You will be given points equal to whoever is in last place at the time of joining, if you haven't played the previous weeks.

    No, you keep whatever points you have earned.

    "Anyone new, who didn't make picks for this race"

    The idea is to let non-regulars, who have not picked at all, join the chase pool late and still stand a fighting chance. (or any stragglers who missed this week because I posted it late)

    And I'll add you to the list a soon as you say the word. No need to post the points first.

    That makes 900 Points.

    And at least 33% of us will win a prize. Nice.

    I'll put the matchups up early this week, and hopefully we will get a 10th to round it out to an even 1000.


    Do you guys think we should add a Holiday Pass rule in case we can't make it to pick for one race? Maybe give everyone one chance at missing a race, and you get the same as the lowest score that week?

    And does anyone and want to volunteer to put the game up if I don't do it for any reason 1 week?
