2006 FM NASCAR Fantasy Challenge??

[lawdog]

you have to change as you are only allowed a driver for nine races throughout the year. Look around a little, its there (can't remember how either now...).

[jbell1981]

If I am reading the rules right, You had until 4:00am this morning to make team changes. But you have until 5 minutes before the race starts to select which drivers you want to be active on your team.

[metrojoe]

Yes you can change any or all of your drivers, but it's to late now.

[Cyberfish]

I still cannot figure out why we need to have 8 drivers if only 4 can get points? Do we get any benefits if one of our non active drivers wins?

[JohnMickish]

You have the "reserve" drivers for a last minute driver change.

[Cyberfish]

Thanks Fishinguy! I just relised this reason earlier tonite when I found out my #1 did poor in qualifying and my #2 did well, then after doing the switch I was like, oh thats why we have extra drivers...duh! I am kinda slow hehe

[Cyberfish]

Ugggh I had the 17 and 9 and switched them to the 16 and 01. bad moves!

[lawdog]

I had the 16 and thought I was golden until that Ford motor popped!

[Cyberfish]

yup the best ford and best chevy [PoorWordUsage]ed. the best dodge made it, but couldnt win.

At least a ford still won!

[eyepatrol]

I had the 16 also and the 48 was my other A-list pick. Should have stuck with the Chevy's!!!

I would have been better off throwing darts blindfolded at a list on a board this weekend. Ugh were those bad picks!

[Jeremy airjer W]

Not as bad as greenandwhitecheckered!

[Cyberfish]

Wow,I looked at everyones picks and I was the only one that picked the winner! to bad I deactivated him when he sucked in qualifying!

[Jeremy airjer W]

Are we going with weekly winners based on points for that week or based on accumalated points from the whole season?

This is my first year playing Fantasy Nascar so I don't know how other formats are run, but I think it may be this way so people just can't look at the qualifying results and pick the best of the bunch, yet it gives you the opportunity to not get burned by someone who doesn't qualify well or not at all. This way I it makes you think a little bit ahead of time on who you would like to pick for that weeks race. Then once qualifying is done you pick your starters from your initial picks.

[JohnMickish]

I think we should go with weekly winners and a season champion, just like the big boys.

[wyldewal]

I think that would be fair. So my vote is for the weekly winner and the season champ.

[eyepatrol]

Sounds fair to me.

[metrojoe]

I like that idea also. What does the winner get?

[Sifty]

The winner get's the fun of being the FM champion.

Maybe we can all get together and have a beer somwhere.

[JohnMickish]

I think it would be pretty cool if we could get together and watch one of the really good races, like the Bristol night race. What is a good place around the metro to watch race?

I had terrible picks and everything went south.When Biffle blew up I figured you might not catch up to much as I figured you would have picked him.Long year and you will pass me up im sure.Go get um.

[Sifty]

It's nice to see all of this back and forth between all you guy's. I wish I could have done it from home stinking dail-up.

[lawdog]

I don't know, I dug myself a big hole already...Have to get some good luck!

[harvey lee]

Your only down a few points and the way I pick,my bet is in 2-3 races you will be the TOP DOG.

[Cyberfish]

Did you try it? I have Dialup and it works for me...
