Welcome to the 2024 edition of the Nascar Cup Series Buck Memorial Mayhem Pick 5 Game.
As usual the first event is the 2024 Busch Light Clash at The Coliseum.
Here is a quick game rule refresher...
General Rules
Pick 5 drivers; your top 3 point scorers will count for points (not necessarily top 3 finishers).
-You must make your picks before the green flag. In case of any dispute if no green flag time is listed, I will work off of the chequered flag time and subtract the total race time, and this will be compared to the timestamp on the post.
-You can’t pick the same drivers 2 races in a row (see new rule). If you do, they are scored 0 for the 2nd race AND cannot be picked the following week. You may pick fewer than 5 without penalty.
*New Rule from 2019* If a player picks the winner of a race, they can pick that same driver in the next race, without penalty.
-You’re picking drivers, not teams. If a team makes a driver change between races then you can pick the new driver for that team the following week. You cannot pick the previous driver in a new team though. Example: You pick driver A who is driving for team X. During mid week driver B replaces driver A, who then moves to team Y. You can pick driver B/team X in the following race, not driver A/team Y.
-Points scored will be based on the NASCAR point system (2017-2019 version). Drivers who don’t score points in the Cup Series will still count and be credited with the points they would’ve gotten. Any points penalties won’t be reflected in the results.
-There will be tiebreakers for race results, based on the following:
1. Best 4th pick
2. Best 5th pick
3. Order of picks
-The point standings will keep track of your number of starts, wins, top 5’s, top 10’s, average points per race, average finish position per race and the best single race finish for the season to that point.
-If you miss a race, then you’re free to pick whoever you want for the next race you pick in.
There will be bonus points based on whether any or all of your picks sweep the top positions in the race:
Race Bonuses:
1-2 finish – 20 points
1-2-3 finish – 30 points
1-2-3-4 finish – 50 points
1-2-3-4-5 finish – 70 points
Exhibition Races
-Exhibition races won’t count towards the overall standings.
-The rule for not picking the same drivers 2 races in a row doesn’t apply, so you can pick whoever you want.
-The rest of the rules and points scored for the Unlimited will be the same as any race. Points scored in each of the Duels will be cut in half, but the rest of the rules remain the same; you can pick 5 drivers for EACH race. The points from each race will be combined to determine an overall winner.
