PLAYING THE GAME
Each team owner starts out with $10,000,000 in drafting dollars. Each owner must
purchase 8 drivers without exceeding the $10,000,000 total. Left over dollars will be
reserved for future races.
Points are scored based upon the
Winston Cup point system. (See chart below)
After race 3, driver values will change every race. Values are established based upon
the results of their finish positions from prior races. A high finishing position (high
meaning close to 1st place) will increase a driver's value. A low finish will decrease a
driver's value.
The first driver
value change will occur after race 3. Week 4 driver values will be based upon results from
race 2. Race 5 values on race 3. Race 6 values on race 4. The same pattern will follow for
the entire season.
It is important to remember that after the first driver value changes are made (after
race 3) that some teams will be worth more than $10,000,000 and others less.
Trades can be made anytime during the week up until the dropping of the green flag for
each race.
Up to 3 drivers can be traded each week as long as you don't exceed your total team
balance at the time. The system is set up to void bad trades. Should this happen check
your balance and enter new trades. For phone trades, operators will confirm trades and
balances. Voice mail service will also be available, but team owners are responsible for
legal trades using this method. If one part of the trade is bad the whole trade is
void.
You do not have to make any drivers changes if you are happy with your current team
selections.
If you feel a scoring error has been made please call 1-800-571-2323
immediately.
PRIZES
Minimum prize fund will be 300 contestants. Prizes for entries between
301 and 499 will be established after week 6.The amount of participants will be posted
after each race. More contestants mean higher prizes!
Weekly prizes will be mailed out seven days after race results are
final.Grand prizes will be mailed out 45 days after race results are
final. (The delay is to assure the accuracy.}
Ties for weekly races will be broken starting by comparing the top scoring driver of
each team. If all eight drivers are tied the current highest reserve driver balance in the
bank will be the next tie breaker. After that total team value is the tie breaker. If
there is still a tie, current season to date points will be used as the final tie breaker.
After that all money will be split.
For grand prize ties the same format will be used. However if there is still a tie
after all "USED RACES" are tallied the one with the highest total of all unused
races would win. After that all money will be split.
Enter as many teams as you wish. This product is not to be used for any form of
gambling.
