It's time to get in your picks for the Las Vegas! The deadline to post them is Friday, February 28th, at 5:30 pm TFT. Since this is Vegas, let me tell you right now that getting in your picks after the deadline is a gamble that will not pay off.
Please pick the following:
1st place finisher
2nd place finisher
3rd place finisher
4th place finisher
5th place finisher
leader of the most laps
pole position
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be clear when you post. Distinguish between Jeff and Robbie Gordon, Ward and Jeff Burton, Bobby and Terry Labonte, Jeff Burton, Jeff Gordon and Jeff Green, Elliott Sadler and Bill Elliott, Rusty, Kenny, and Mike Wallace, or anywhere else where there is a chance for confusion!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scoring is as follows:
correct pole position - 1 point
correct lap leader - 1 point
correct 1st place - 5 points
correct 2nd place - 4 points
correct 3rd place - 3 points
correct 4th place - 2 points
correct 5th place - 1 point
Scoring is like horse racing (at least so I'm told). If the driver finishes at or higher than where you picked him, you get the points for the position you picked him to finish. Example: you pick Tony Stewart to finish 3rd and he wins - you get 3 points for picking him third. If the driver finishes lower than where you picked him, you get nothing. Example: you pick Kevin Harvick to finish 4th, but he finishes 5th - you get no points for that pick.
If two drivers lead an equal number of laps, more than any other drivers, you get points if you picked either one. When time trials are rained out or otherwise cancelled, no points are awarded for the pole.
You may only pick drivers, not cars, and no alternates allowed. Example "Whoever is driving the #27 car" is not acceptable. Neither is "Ryan Newman, but if he doesn't make the field I pick Jimmy Spencer."
You may post picks for others you know (spouse, son, daughter, s.o., etc), who are not TF members but wish to play. If you do this, however, please make it clear whose picks are whose.
After the end of the season, all of the Pick 5 points will be tallied. The person with the most points is the winner. Prize will be the same as always: adoration and renown!
Attempts will be made to notify anyone needing to edit their entry, but it is you who is responsible for your pick. Don't blame anybody else if you mess it up or neglect to correct your picks.
In event of a dispute over scoring/disqualification of picks, notify the Pick 5 Commissioner (P5C). All decisions made by the P5C are final.
Good luck,
-StatMan
