2012 Nascar Pools Online League
NascarPoolsOnline.com will be running a free fantasy Nascar league for the 2012 season, afterall.
It will be a 2 segment pool. The first segment will be the first 26 races of the regular season, and the second segment will be the 10 Chase races. More info and the contest rules will be posted soon.
League Info
- This season will again be a little different than previous years. We are going to run the league in 2 segments. The first segment is open to all. The second segment must be qualified for. It's basically like a regular season, and a playoff.
- The first segment begins with the Daytona 500 on February 26, 2012. The deadline will be February 26, 2012 at 12pm (noon) Eastern. The segment will run through the Richmond race on September 8, 2012. The final segment will go from Chicago on September 16, 2012 to Miami on November 18, 2012.
Regular Season
- The first segment will be a "weekly pick'em" style pool, using the drivers for scoring. It doesn't matter what car he/she is in, it's the driver that matters. You get to pick one driver from each group for each race. The deadline for each race is noon Eastern on the scheduled date of the race.
- We will use the 'top 10' scoring method. You only get points for a top 10 finish, with the first place finisher getting 10 pts, to the 10th place finisher, who gets 1. Drivers finishing 11th or lower get no points.
- You can join the first segment by registering an account (or using your existing one) and joining the league by selecting 'join league' from the menu at the top. Submit the league ID (nporeg) and the password (stewart), and then pick your team.
Playoff
- The second, or playoff, segment will be a "pick one" style pool, using the drivers for scoring. It doesn't matter what car he/she is in, it's the driver that matters. You get to pick one driver for each race. The deadline for each race is noon Eastern on the scheduled date of the race. You can only use a driver one time during the segment. Any teams that use the same driver twice, will be disqualified, and removed from the league.
- We will use the 'top 10' scoring method. You only get points for a top 10 finish, with the first place finisher getting 10 pts, to the 10th place finisher, who gets 1. Drivers finishing 11th or lower get no points.
- You must qualify for this segment. To qualify, you must either finish in the top 15 of the overall standings in the regular season pool, or be one of 5 wildcards. Wildcards will be selected as follows from the teams that haven't already qualified.
- Highest Single Race Score (1)
