Welcome to the 2015 edition of the RacersLounge.com NASCAR Fantasy League (RLNFL) brought to you by 84EXPO and Buffalo Wild Wings of Johnson City TN. We will follow the current Sprint Cup Series points system, complete with our own take on The Chase. The season will be broken down into 4 separate 10-race Quarters. There will also be an on-going tally for the season, which will climax with a 10-race Chase after the 30th event of the season.

In addition to the traditional 36-race schedule, the RLNFL is also adding 4 special events to bring the tally to a 40-event season. Those 4 additional events are as follows: Budweiser Duel #1, Budweiser Duel #2, Sprint Showdown, & Sprint All-Star Race.

RULES:

  1. Picks must be in by the start of the race. All you must do is post the name of the driver of your choice on the specific event thread.
  2. Users cannot pick the same driver in consecutive races; if consecutive picks are made, user will receive a 30-point penalty for the 2nd race.
  3. Do NOT edit your post, as this may result in a disqualification or penalty. If you wish to change your pick, simply make a new post.
  4. Users selecting a driver that receives a DNQ will receive '0' points for the selected race.
  5. Users will receive the same post-race technical penalties as their pick.
  6. Each driver may only be picked TWICE during a single Quarter; each violation is a 15-point penalty.
  7. Each driver may only be picked a maximum of SIX times during a single season; each violation is a 30-point penalty.
  8. Users will be required to make a minimum of FIVE 'Dark Horse' selections during the first 30 events of the season (pre-Chase), and a minimum of SIX overall. 'Dark Horse' is defined as a driver currently outside of the Top 20 in Drivers' Points (Daytona, Sonoma, Talladega, & Watkins Glen prohibited); each violation is a 30-point penalty.
    [For the first 7 races of the season, the Final 2014 Drivers' Points will be used.]
  9. Users qualifying for The Chase may only pick any single driver ONE time during The Chase. Chase qualifiers must also make TWO 'Dark Horse' selections during this time (Talladega prohibited). This rule only applies to users qualifying for The Chase; each violation will result in a 30-point penalty.
  10. Chase participants who use a Default Pick during The Chase will incur a 15-point penalty per use.

NOTES:
• Users will receive the respective number of points earned by their pick, regardless of official Championship designation. For example, users selecting Trevor Bayne at Daytona in 2011 received the 47 points that he would have received if he had declared Sprint Cup Series eligibility.
• The lowest single-race score that a user can receive is '0' points, regardless of penalties.
• Penalties for Section 15-8 will be deducted following Events No.30 & No.40
If there are any questions, feel free to PM me here or send an e-mail to 84EXPO@gmail.com

Procedure for determining the RLNFL Championship standings entering The Chase will be as follows:

  1. 2030 + W*3
  2. 2027 + W*3
  3. 2024 + W*3
  4. 2021 + W*3
  5. 2018 + W*3
  6. 2015 + W*3
  7. 2012 + W*3
  8. 2009 + W*3
  9. 2006 + W*3
  10. 2003 + W*3
  11. 2000 + W*3
  12. 2000 + W*3
  13. 2000
  14. 2000
  15. 2000
  16. 2000

NOTE 1: The 13th & 14th positions in The Chase will be awarded to the two users with the most Wins during the first 30 events of the season, providing that they are within the Top 20 in the point standings following Event No.30

NOTE 2: The 15th position in The Chase will be awarded to the remaining user with the most Wins during the first 30 events of the season, providing that they are within the Top 25 in the point standings following Event No.30

NOTE 3: The 16th position in The Chase will be awarded to the remaining user with the most Wins during the first 30 events of the season, providing that they are within the Top 30 in the point standings following Event No.30

Following Chase Race #3, the field will be cut to 12 participants with NO points reset
Following Chase Race #6, the field will be cut to 8 participants with NO points reset
Following Chase Race #9, the field will be cut to 4 participants with NO points reset

There will be a couple of "exceptions" made for the following events:

1. Budweiser Duel #1
2. Budweiser Duel #2
14. Sprint Showdown
15. Sprint All-Star Race

Considering that NASCAR essentially uses these four events as exhibition races, the 2014 RLNFL will waive the following rules for the aforementioned events:

  • Section 15-2: Users cannot pick the same driver in consecutive races; if consecutive picks are made, user will receive a 30-point penalty for the 2nd race.
  • Section 15-6: Each driver may only be picked TWICE during a single Quarter; each violation is a 15-point penalty.
  • Section 15-7: Each driver may only be picked a maximum of SIX times during a single season; each violation is a 30-point penalty.
This will allow a user to pick a certain driver for one of the Gatorade Duels AND the Daytona 500 if they want, without the fear of a penalty for consecutive picks (15-2) or using up one of their allotted picks for that particular driver (15-6 & 15-7).

The same will hold true for the Charlotte All-Star weekend as well. This brings up one loophole, which will allow users to pick the same driver for Kansas & Charlotte (even all 3 events) if they wish, but that's fine.

If there are any questions, feel free to ask them here.

If you do not have your picks submitted to me via the Racers Lounge website, email at 84expo@gmail.com, Facebook private message, or text message before the GREEN FLAG then your pick is considered late. Last season, several users made a habit of submitting their picks just before the green flag. In some cases, if the Racers Lounge website were down at the time, this would result in picks not being posted prior to the GREEN FLAG. Considering that there are several days leading up to the event and multiple ways to submit your pick, the website being down on race day will no longer be a valid excuse for a late submission.

I will still being using the Default Selection as a backup for users, which means that if you fail to make a pick in a given week, you will receive the same pick that you used in 2014 for the appropriate event. I will do my very best to have a new race thread posted in ample time to post your selections each week. This change in policy is to ensure a fair and balanced game for all users.

User who fail to make a selection for the Budweiser Duels or All-Star Weekend events will receive last place points for those respective events, providing that they make a selection for the following regularly scheduled points race (either the Daytona 500 or the Coca-Cola 600).
