RULES FOR THE 2014 NASCAR FANTASSY CUP
1) The preferred way to submit your pick is an email to larry.laviolette@gmail.com
- If you don’t have access to email, call or text my mobile number at (210) 862 2976 and leave a message if I don’t answer
- Send chips to: Larry Laviolette, 1187 Skyline Drive, Canyon Lake, TX 78133 or PayPal Larry.Laviolette@gmail.com (please be sure to go to the ‘Personal’ tab and select ‘Gift’ so I don't get charged)
- Teams who do not send their chips by the scheduled drop of the green flag for the second race of the season, March 2nd in Phoenix, will not be allowed into the league
- The Commissioner's fee is waived
- Let's do some winners’ math with
both 16 and17 teams as examples:
(17 x 200) - 200 = 3200 chips
Winners’ breakdown would be:
1st place: 1900 chips
2nd place: 850 chips
3rd place: 450 chips
(Awards will be based on this percentage pending final number of teams)
4) Each week, pick a driver
- You cannot pick the same driver more than twice in a season
- If you're a jackass (no offense) and start the same driver more than twice, you get a big fat zero points and get penalized your top remaining driver (see rule #5 below for explanation of how this works)
- “Scheduled” is defined as the time when the green flag is supposed to drop (e.g., the 2014 Daytona 500 has a 1:19 pm EST green flag drop time) and not when the green flag actually drops
i) If the race is delayed and NASCAR moves the green flag drop back, you do not get more time to submit your pick
ii) In the unlikely event that NASCAR moves the scheduled green flag drop time up, that will be the new deadline for pick submissions
iii) If you do not submit your pick in time or pick the same driver more than twice, you get a big fat zero points and you will lose your top available driver remaining according to the NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) points system standings prior to the race
(1) E.g., if you forget to submit a pick for a race, and Jimmie Johnson is leading the NSC points prior to the race, and you have at least one J.J. pick remaining, you will lose that pick. If you have already used both of your J.J. picks, we will go to the second place driver in the NSC standings and if you have at least one of those picks left, you will lose that pick…and so on until we get to your top remaining driver
(2) If there is a tie in the NSC standings between your remaining drivers, we will go back in the NSC standings to see which driver was ahead last and you will lose that driver
iv) Let's say your traveling and you don't have access to email or my cell number, please call one of your racing cronies and have them email, call, or text me your pick
v) Picks submitted to other players will not be accepted unless they are forwarded to me in time so get confirmation from your crony that he/she submitted your pick
- Proof of submission (if needed) will be in the form of:
i) Email - Screen shot or picture of email in “Sent” folder
ii) Text - Screen shot or picture of time-stamped text in conversation string
iii) Phone - Screen shot or picture of call log with my mobile number
- After the end of each week’s race, you have nearly seven days to submit your pick for the next race…just get it in
6) Total points awarded for each race will be the same as total points awarded by the NSC point system
7) If NASCAR penalizes a team or driver and takes away points due to an infraction that affected the car's performance, than any team that started that driver will have the same points deducted from his total for that race
- If NASCAR takes away points from a driver due to an infraction that did not affect the car's performance (e.g., cursing, bumping another driver in the pit, etc.), any team that started that driver will not have points deducted
9) Eligibility for the NFC Chase and new Chase format will be as follows based on 14-16 teams:
NOTE: I'll try to clarify the rules for 17 teams vs. <=16 teams, since the original rules had both options...
10) Eligibility for the NFC Chase and new Chase format will be as follows based on 17-19 teams:
Ø The top seven teams in points after the first 26 races will qualify for the NFC Chase
Ø
o If a team is outside of the top six in points after 26 races but has three or more wins, they will be added to the Chase as a Wild Card
Ø Points for the eligible teams entering the NFC Chase will be reset as follows to start the ten race playoff:
o 1st place team after 26 races - 1014 points
o 2nd place team - 1012 points
o 3rd place team - 1010 points
o 4th place team -1008 points
o 5th place team - 1006 points
o 6th place team - 1004 points
o 7th place team - 1002 points
o
o Wild Card teams are not eligible for bonus points to start the Chase and will start with 1000 points
Ø The NFC Chase is a four round format starting at Chicagoland (race 27)
o A win in any round automatically advances that team to the next round (in theory)
o Multiple teams will be eliminated after the first round
o One team will be eliminated after the second round
o One team will be eliminated after the third round
o Only three teams will enter the fourth and final round for the NASCAR Fantassy Cup
Ø First round (races 27-29) - “The Flirter”
o The top five teams based on points accumulated during races 27-29 will advance to the next round
o Wins automatically advance a team; the balance of the five teams will be filled in according to points accumulated in the three race Teaser Round
§ The first tiebreaker is number of wins in the current round
§ Second tiebreaker is number of wins during the regular season
§ Third tiebreaker is number of points during the regular season
§ Fourth tiebreaker is whoever got their first win first
§ Fifth tiebreaker is biggest penis or vagina
Ø Second round (races 30-32) - “The Teaser”
o The top four teams based on points accumulated during races 27-32 will advance to the next round
o Wins automatically advance teams; same format for filling in the balance of teams and tiebreakers applies
Ø Third round (races 33 & 34) - “The Fluffer”
o The top three teams based on points accumulated during races 27-34 will advance to the final round
o Wins automatically advance teams; same format for balance of filling in the teams and tiebreakers applies
Ø Fourth round - (races 35 & 36) - “The Finisher” or “The Load Dropper” or “The Rope Spitter” or “The Nut Buster” or “The Wad Blower” or “The Pie Creamer” or "The Spooge Shooter”
o The three teams entering the Finisher Round will have their points reset to 2000; no bonus points, each team is tied to start the final round
o The team with the most points after races 35 and 36 is the NASCAR Fantassy Cup winner; same format for tiebreakers applies
11) The Rules Committee (RC) has final say on any league issues
- In the event of a discrepancy, the RC will hear arguments from all parties involved including the Commissioner
- The RC might have to make up rules as we go but will always act with fairness and the best interests of the league in mind
- I will try to get each week’s picks posted as soon as possible to the above web site
- I will track each team’s picks, finishing places, points earned, current NFC standings, and try to be witty in a charming yet unassuming way on the web site, but you are ultimately responsible for keeping track of your picks and points; please check my information regularly to ensure accuracy (I’m just a redneck…this isn't my day job…the only reason I’m doing this is because you wouldn't…there are a lot of chips at stake so keep an eye on me)
14) K-10 off-suit is a sucker bet…it only leads to trouble
