For each race, players will pick the 10 drivers they think will finish 1st through 10th. Drivers will be awarded Fantasy Points depending on how they finish. 1st place is worth 150, 2nd place is worth 125, 3rd place is worth 100, 4th place is worth 80, 5th place is worth 78, and so on (less 2 points each place). 44th place and beyond are worth 0 points. The total Fantasy Points for all the player's drivers in the race becomes the Team Score. There is an additional 25 point bonus for every driver that comes in the exact order the player picks them to finish.
You total score is the sum of your 15 best races.
If there is a tie for the most points for a race, the tie breaker is handled by first seeing who picked the most drivers in the right order. If there is still a tie, the computer will see who picked the highest place correct. If there is still a tie, the computer will randomly select a winner from the players that are tied.
If there are ties for overall score, the computer will select the player with the most race points for the most recent race. If there is a tie, the computer will continue comparing race points for previous races until a winner is selected. If the players are tied for all the races, the computer wil randomly select a winner from the players that are tied.
Points are awarded to drivers, not cars. If a player picks a driver who qualified for race and a new driver took his/her place before the start of the race, the player must pick the new driver. Players will not receive points even though the new driver may be racing the previous driver's car. And, if the new driver is not in the list of drivers that can be picked then no players shall have the ability to pick that driver and it will not count for or against anyone.
Weekly winners are based on the race finish order immediately following the race. If the race finish order is adjusted after the race, the weekly winners will remain the same but all players' points will be recomputed for the season total.
All decisions of the judges are final.
This contest is not intended for gambling. If it is determined that a contestant is using the contest for gambling purposes they will be disqualified and reported to authorities.
UPICKEM and its affiliates reserve the right to change the rules at any time.
This contest is officially sponsored by UPICKEM, 317 N 11th Street, Suite 302, St. Louis, MO, 63101.
