2022 Event Summary: Racing
Status: Open
RULES: RACING
| Q1: NASCAR Playoffs The NASCAR Playoff is a 10 race series and comprises 16 drivers accumulating points based on their performance during and finish after each race. After 3 races, the bottom 4 racers are eliminated from the playoffs (altho they continue to race). This cycle happens three times until the 10th (championship) race has just 4 drivers left. We have seeded the racers; your challenge is to pick 4 of them (non seeded drivers will participate in the races but are not available to pick) totaling 14 or more seed points. You will get points based on their finish in the Playoffs (not in individual races): 1st: 100 2nd: 75 3rd: 60 4th: 45 5th: 35 6th: 25 7th: 15 8th: 10 9th or worse: 0 Additionally, you will receive points if a driver you pick: Wins an individual race: 20 Advances after Bristol: 7 Advances after Charlotte: 12 Advances to Phoenix: 15 Picks lock Sun 9/4 at 3p Pacific Q2: Daytona 500 The bad news is that they don't race on the beach anymore, but the good news is that you can see it in HD from your own home. 40 racers are available and seeded according to pole position. Choose 5 which add up to 60 or more seed points. Drivers who finish in the top 20 earn points: 1st...75 pts 2nd...65 3rd...57 4th...50 5th....46 6th....43 7th....40 increment down by 3 pts per place 19th....4 20th....1 21st and worse get 0 pts Picks lock when the race starts (Sun Feb19, 1130a Pacific) Reminder: no late picks for races Q3: Kentucky Derby 20 horses are available and seeded. Choose 5 horses which add up to no more than 26 seed points. For example, you could choose horses with seed values of 10-10-2-2-2 (26 pts) but not horses with seed values of 10-6-6-4-2 (28 pts). You are responsible for knowing which horses are scratched from the race. Seeds are based roughly off the initial odds posted here Picks will stay open until just before post time; Sat 5/6 3:55p Pacific. We know you like to watch the horses walk up to the gates... Any attempts to enter picks after this deadline will result in a severe decathlon penalty. Points: 1st place... 100 points 2nd place... 80 points 3rd place... 65 points 4th place... 50 points 5th place... 40 points 6th place... 25 points 7th thru 10th place... 10 points 11th place or worse... 0 points Q4: Preakness tbd Just 8 Horses (7 after a scratch) and you get to pick 3 of them!
