A. League Definition.
1. A maximum of 8 players
per division are allowed. If
more than 8 players wish to
participate, the players
will be randomly split into
divisions with equal numbers
of players (or as close as
possible), not to exceed 8
players per division.
2. Only NASCAR point
races are used in all
competition.
B. Drafting.
1. Each division will
conduct a separate draft for
its players. This allows the
full NASCAR field to be
available for draft in each
division.
2. The draft order in
each division will be
decided by random drawing.
3. There will be 4 rounds
in each draft, with the
draft order reversing after
each round.
4. Each player drafts a
driver/team team in each
round of the draft, giving
the player a 'stable' of
four drivers at the end of
the draft.
C. Overall competition.
1. Each player's FINAL
score for the season will be
the sum of the fantasy
league driver points*
of their three highest
finishing drivers. In the
event of ties, the result is
settled by the driver points
of the players' lowest
finishing driver. If there
is still a tie, the players
share equally in the place
standing.
*
Fantasy league driver points
are the NASCAR driver points
minus the NASCAR bonus
points awarded for the
"chase for the
championship."
2. Dropping or trading
driver/teams is not allowed
except for (3) below.
Drivers or Team changes must
be approved prior to race
qualifying to be eligible
for the race.
3. If a driver leaves
his/her team for the rest of
the season (quit, fired,
injured, etc.), players that
have drafted that driver
follow the procedure listed
below. In no case
shall the player be allowed
to increase their point
standings from this
procedure.
a. If the driver moves to
a new team, the player MUST
keep the driver.
b. If the driver does not
move to a new team, the
player has the first option
to pick up the driver that
moves to the team vacated by
the departing driver, as
long as there is no conflict
above.
4. If a player is still
without a driver/team after
(3) above, the player may
follow the procedure below:
a. The player may pick a
new driver: 1.) with a
current point standing, at
or below the dropped drivers
point standing. If none
available, the player may
pick the next closest point
standing. And 2.) from those
that have not been selected
by anyone else in the
player's division.
b. If more than one
player within a division
attempts to acquire the same
driver/team, a random
drawing will be held to see
which player will actually
acquire that driver/team.
D. Weekly competition.
1. Weekly competition
will be organized in a
round-robin fashion such
that each player plays one
other player within the
league each race. Each
player will play all other
players within the league an
equal number of times during
the season, or at least as
close as possible.
2. Each player's score
for the week will be the sum
of the finishing orders for
two of their four drivers;
the two with the highest
scores that week. The third
highest score is used as the
players tie breaker driver
for that week. The score
received by all drivers not
qualifying for that weeks
race is one more than the
last place driver in that
race.
3. Each player with fewer
points than their opponent
wins that weeks competition.
If the players have an equal
number of points, the result
will be determined by the
finishing order of their
tiebreaker drivers.
E. Administration
1. The NASCAR Fantasy
League will be administered
by a ruling committee. The
committee will comprise of
no less than three people,
and no more than five
people.
2. All disputes will be
settled by a majority
decision of the ruling
committee. The decisions of
the committee are final.
3. The ruling committee
has the authority to add,
delete, or amend the rules
to promote competition and
fairness.
4. Competition statistics
will be posted to keep the
players informed of their
driver's standings.
5. Players more than
two weeks behind in league
payments without committee
approval will be dropped
from the league, and will
not be eligible to win the
overall competition.
