NASCAR Weekly Picks Game - Daytona 500

[yisman]

I think it's 2 within a 24 hour period so since you gave 2 last night you wouldn't be able to send another 2 until tonight.

Also, it's looking iffy as to whether they'll get the whole race in today.

so im trying to transfer 2 points to Optional but it keeps saying this user cannot accept points at this time. I've already given 2...what gives?

Just send your extra 2 tomorrow Chimney. You're picks will count for the contest this time.

If you play next week, the thread goes up before Tuesday night, so you can get a chance to transfer 5 or 6 times if you like.

Congrats Mike and Blanda. I'll transfer your prizes as soon as everyone has had a chance to double check my scoring.

Thanks for playing everyone. Hope to see you all back for next weekends Phoenix race. I'll put the thread up later today so non-pros can transfer early.

I'll update the Season Long Pool thread a little later on.

@Mike. Let me know if you want me to hold onto next weeks entry fee, or send some to CarolinaDaze on your behalf if you want to take down the fantasy game as well. Or anything else.

If I don't hear from you I'll just send the lot tonight.
