races based upon the then current Cup points at the end of each six race
period. After the Cup standings are announced after each reevaluation
race, any team that has two or more drivers in any one Group must submit a
revised team with one driver in each Group prior to the next race. Changes
made to teams to come into conformance with this rule are at no cost.
The Groupings set after the 30th race will take into account the adjustments
made by NASCAR according to the new "Chase for the Championship" and will
reflect the then current standings
4. Revised teams (or changes to teams) MUST
be submitted and received by E-mail to the Commissioner (and Webmaster and
other teams) no later than mid-night the day preceding the scheduled Cup
race. Weather delays or other circumstances will not be considered as
extending this deadline, unless the race is rescheduled for another weekend.
E-mails sent to the Commissioner, but not received by the Commissioner due
to transmission issues relative to the sender's service will not be
entertained.
5 A team's weekly scores will be the total
Cup points accumulated by your team drivers, including bonus points.
If your driver starts the race, you will get credit for the Cup points
awarded even if the driver has to be replaced during the race.
Standings are based on accumulated scores over the entire Cup season,
without consideration for the adjustments made by NASCAR according to the
new "Chase for the Championship" format.
6 During any six-race period, if a team's
selected driver goes to another team, any team having that driver continues
to carry that driver as their driver. The selection is the driver not
the car. For example, if you have Steve Park and he loses his ride in
the 1 car and goes to the 30 car, any team having him as a driver continues
to carry him to the 30 car. If an owner does not want to continue to
carry the driver with the new team or if the driver does not get a new ride,
the owner must make a change pursuant to Rule 8 and select a new driver at
cost.
7. If a driver is injured, the owner automatically gets the
replacement driver. If the owner does not want the replacement driver,
then the team may select a new driver consistent with paragraph 8. For
this purpose the selection must be from the Group of the driver initially
selected, not the replacement driver. For example, if Jeff Gordon is
injured and replaced by Buckshot Jones, the new driver must be from the
Group where Gordon came from, not Buckshot.
8. A team may drop and select any driver within
the same Group as long as notice is provided to the Commissioner, the
Webmaster and other teams, consistent with the timeframes addressed above.
Changes of this type to a team cost $2.00 per change. However, no team
may make more than 36 moves during the year.
9. During the last three weeks of the
season, no team in a points paying position may make any move(s) that will
result in the higher placed team mirroring the team immediately behind them.
Thus, the first place team with three races to go cannot make any change
that will mirror the second place team’s drivers. The same applies to
second with regards to third, third with regards to fourth and fourth with
regards to fifth. The only exception would be where a higher placed
team provides notice to the Commissioner of a change in driver(s) and the
lower place team provides later notice to the Commissioner of a move that
results in a mirroring.
10. A team’s weekly scores will be the total WC points accumulated by
your team drivers, including bonus points. If your driver starts the
race, you will get credit for the Cup points awarded even if the driver has
to be replaced during the race. Standings are based on accumulated
scores over the entire Cup season.
11. If a team is more than 400 points from the first place team at the
start of the NASCAR Chase (10 races left), that team can pay $75.00 and
start the next race (the first race of the Chase) 400 points behind the
first place team. Points accumulate as normal after that.
12. League fees are 90.00 and MUST be submitted along with the teams
initial draft selection. Failure to submit payment prior to the first
Cup race at Daytona will void the team.
13. The team ahead at every adjustment phase will be awarded a $25.00
prize; at the 6th, 12th, 18th, 24th & 30th respectively. If more than one
team are tied the payment will be pro rata.
14. Winning payments will be 55% for first, 25% for second, 15% for
third, and 5% for fourth from the gross payments – less any payments made
pursuant to rule 12. If two or more teams are tied for any position at
the end of the season, the tied teams will share equally in any payment.
For example if there is a tie for third and fourth, the 15% and 5% will be
added together and divided by two.
