2007 FNC Rules

Cost is $80 for the ENTIRE season. Funds are due by Saturday Feb 17. Goal is 35 participants.

 

Weekly play is simple. Fill out the online pick form. Pick 2 car #’s from each group. Change all or none each week. The driver names are for reference only. Car numbers are all that mater. You receive point for each car picked based on NASCAR Nextel cup scoring. See chart below. Additionally you get 25 point bonus for picking the pole winner, and a 25 point bonus if you pick the race winner.

 

Pick must be in by noon on the Thursday before each race. Exception is the Daytona 500 for which there will not be a pole bonus. Participants not getting picks in will receive points for the same drivers picked the previous week (scheduled order).

 

No bonus points will be awarded for the pole if all qualifying is rained (or snowed) out. If race is rained out picks will be locked in for that race whenever run, unless cars have been re-grouped, in which case new picks will have to be made.

 

Groups will be changed 3 times during the season.

 

There will be weekly payoffs for first ($30), second ($20) and third ($10) highest weekly totals.

 

There will be weekly payoffs for lowest weekly total ($5).  Must have 8 drivers make the race.

 

Example end of half payout is below. Actual will vary based on the number of participants. The goal is to pay out to approximately 1 of 3 participants.

 

After race 26 the top 10 (12 if we get more than 40 participants) will be entered into the FNC Chase For The Cup. Those 10 will have 5000 points added to their season total. This will assure that they remain the top 10 (12).

 

Everyone will continue to make weekly picks as the weekly payouts continue.

 

The 11th place finisher will get a minimum $30 bonus. If more than 40 participants this will be adjusted to a 13th place bonus.

 

The 10 (or 12) “Chase” players will kick in $25 of their winnings and run against each other in a 10 race contest formatted similar to the NASCAR Chase. This will run separate from the main 36 race contest. In this contest the point totals will be reset to 0. Then each player will be given seeding points based on weekly finished leading up to the chase. 30 points for each 1st place finish, 20 points for each 2nd place finish, and 10 points for each 3rd place finish during the first 26 races.

 

Payout for the chase will be:

1st – $100

2nd - $75

3rd - $50

4th - $25

 

John Leonardi will run a fun “All Star Race”. $100 will go to the winner. The most likely format for this will be a “pick any 2” car deal. Lowest combined finish position sum wins.
