Preseason Predictions Game

Are we still going to do it TBO? FROM HERE

I'm glad you brought that up Dog. I was going to ask the same question.

Thanks for the reminder, I forgot about it...

Yes, I'll still do it... here's the info:

I got this game from Sirius Speedway. Here's what you have to do:

Pick a different driver for each race. You can pick each driver only ONCE per season. (That's right, only one time, so you'll end up picking people like Michael Waltrip for some races.)

I will score the game every few weeks. Points work as follows: You get the same number of points as your driver's finishing position. (Example: Driver A finishes 12th, therefore you get 12 points.) The winner is the person with the FEWEST points at the end of the year. A few stipulations: If your driver wins, you get -5 points. Also, if your driver does not race for some reason (i.e. fails to qualify or gets fired), you will receive 50 points.

Finally, ALL picks are due by the green flag of the Daytona 500. After that, you can NOT change your picks, no matter what.

Hope that all makes sense, if not, please ask!

Here's the schedule, just copy and paste and put a driver beside each race.
