Jr. is lucky he didnt make the C list,cause last year he stunk it up pretty bad.

[eyepatrol]

Thanks for the info guys. I went back on there and read the rules, then made my picks and pretty well figured out what the lists were all about. Two things I'm a little confused on yet in regards to my "active" picks.

1) I selected my active picks already, but can they be changed after qualifying or do they have to be made before qualifying?

2)Each week I can add to my list of selections for each A, B, C list, is that correct? I'd assume so, since if you were only able to select 2 drivers for the year, and they're only valid for 9 races, you'd run out after 18 races for the A and C lists.

I'd tried understanding the rules on this, but it's still a little foggy to me. Any help would be appreciated.

You can change between your active drivers after qualifying but I don't remember exactly when they lock them in.

You don't pick drivers for the year. After the race and before next weeks qualifying you can change out the drivers you have for others (that are still usable, less than nine races) that are on the list. Don't burn up your favorite drivers from each list in the first nine races. It's a marathon not a sprint. The season is split into two halves so your list wills get re-aranged at the break. There will be some drivers that move up and some that move down on the lists. Things don't reset for the chase but I think we can have some fun with that too.

[eyepatrol]

Ah, I gotcha! Now I understand. Thanks for the explanation. All I can say now is....LET'S GET THIS THING STARTED!!!!

[Cyberfish]

OK, I cannot find this group? anybody have more detailed instructions for this dummy? thanks

[outdoor ran]

Alright I'm in. I'm going to burn Gordon out in the first 9 races I can just tell

[LMITOUT]

So I pick 8 drivers....2 from A, 4 from B, and 2 from C. Those are the 8 drivers I use for 9 races or do I get to change them up as the season goes on? I don't understand the rules. 9 races, only use each driver once, but pick only 8 drivers? Doesn't add up. Then I mark 1 active for A, 2 for B and 1 for C. I don't see the reason for picking 8 drivers if you can only start 4. I'm confused....

The league I've been in has 8 division and you pick one driver from each every week. There is no limit on the number of times you use them.

[JohnMickish]

You can swap drivers out each week from each list, but you can only use each one 9 times per half season. You should end up with lots of drivers that you don't use.

The reason you have "picked" drivers that don't count is for when you forget to change them before qualifying. On list "A" for example, you have (for example here) Gordon and Stewart. You have the "X" by Gordon and both cars qualify but Stewart is on the pole and Gordon in the back. You can change the "X" to Stewart if you want to, making him your picked driver for the race. This system is pretty easy to follow but it does not reward you for not keeping up with it. If you stay on top of the game you can do really well.

[metrojoe]

Well I'm in. I have absolutely no clue as to what I'm doing, but I'm in. There won't be any strategy on my part, but it will make the races more interesting and maybe I'll actually learn something about NASCAR.

[yaggie]

Since most seem to be Jr. fans this should be easy!

[Sifty]

Hey guy's I'm going to have to sit this out. There is some kind of filter on our work computers that won't let me log-in. I would do it a home but we have dail-up and it took forever to get on the page then when I did I got the page expiered deal?

Sifty

[LMITOUT]

Yeah, I don't think I'll have time to keep up with it either, especially this format.

Happy Birthday Sifty!

[wally20]

Just signed up! Sounded like you guys needed Tony Stewart fan in the group Should be a intresting year!!

[JJN1196]

Just got hooked up .Sounds like this will be fun!

[wyldewal]

I decided to join you guys, and as you can tell by the team name I am Clueless. But it should still be fun.

[metrojoe]

I just picked the brain of the resident expert here at work, so hopefully he has steared me in the right direction.

I don't know how this would work, but it would be interesting to have one slot open for a rookie. A "D" lister I guess.

[JKing]

I'm in. That C list is kind of tuff. With that long list of drivers none of them really stand out.

[Down to Earth]

I'm in too. I'm passing on the baseball this year and gonna give the NASCAR a try.

[Jeremy airjer W]

I'm in. I think it will be a lot of fun to see the weekly changes in a small group campared to being in with 400,000 people that you don't know!

Are we doing the weekly signature post for the winner?

[OUTDOORNUT]

I hope so, I have a few I'm hoping to use!

[marine_man]

Well, I joined up today... better late than never I guess.. who knows, maybe I'll catch you guys

I doubt it, but it'll be fun none the less...

marine_man

[harvey lee]

[harvey lee]

Now you two guys can see who gets to the top the fastest and passes all the others up.Good luck.

[Down to Earth]

Can we change our roster or are we stuck with who we chose initially? I can't find a way to make changes. Thanks.
