3. HOW TO PLAY
The main object is broken down as follows:
» Build a team of ANY FIVE DRIVERS that you think will PLACE in the Top Ten. To receive credit, all your driver must do is place in the Top Ten.
» Each driver that places in the Top Ten will earn you ONE credit (correct choice). This accounts for ANY of your drivers. The best case is to have all FIVE of your selected drivers finishing in the Top Ten.
» You will earn points on HOW YOUR DRIVERS FINISH. (Each finishing place from 1 to 10 will have a corresponding point value). These points are tabulated and participants having drivers that place in the Top Ten will be credited with those points as determined by the scoring structure. For example, if you have three drivers that finish 1, 3, and 8 then your score would be (110 + 60 + 10 = 180 points). See scoring below for the complete scoring structure.
» You will be required to stay within a $1 Million "Fantasy" Salary Cap. Keep in mind that using the "lowest salary cap" possible may earn you a higher ranking (see scoring below).
» To assure that there are individual winners in the weekly races, we have incorporated the following Tiebreaker system which will be used in the event of ties.

TIEBREAKERS (in this order)
1. Closest to the Actual number of "Lead Changes" during the Race.
2. Closest to the Actual number of "Cautions" during the Race.
3. Whoever picked first (or the actual time your final list of drivers was compiled).

» Each driver will have a unique salary value (code) which players will be required to stay within the above-mentioned "fantasy" salary cap. Each race you will be assigned a $1,000,000 budget to be used as your salary cap.
» Each race, you will go to the LOGIN area where you will use a drop-down menu which includes a list of all drivers including their associated salary cap value. The screen has a real-time calculator to show where you stand while building your 5 driver racing team.
» Each race is a new contest with new cash prizes. You have the option of getting in on the initial race (February 15th / DAYTONA 500) or in any race thereafter. Once registered, unlike other contests, the registration fee covers the race at the time of entry plus all subsequent races. The best part of our contest is that we THROW OUT your 8 "worst races"! You are never out of it...How many other contests offer such a deal? As more players come aboard the individual race prizes will increase.
» "THROW OUT" RULES: In an effort to keep players actively competing all season long, we have increased the number of races for our "throw out" rule. This rule now allows "8 throw-away races". What this means is we will discard your 8 worst races throughout the season. In other words, we take your best 28 race results out of the 36 races during the Winston Cup season. This will be updated automatically by our system. The "throw-away races" begin with the first race. If a player registers after the start of the season, any race that they missed will count against your throw-away races.

SCORING STRUCTURE

NOTE: To receive points, the drivers must place in the TOP 10. The sum of your five driver's salaries (lowest total) will earn you a higher ranking for players that have picked the same number of drivers finishing in the top 10 from their five selections.

» Participants scores will be based on the above table and will calculated and reported shortly after the completion of the race. In most cases, the standings will be updated the evening of the conclusion of the race.You must submit a separate weekly driver line-up for each Contest Week in accordance with posted deadlines. The resulting finish by each of your selected drivers, and the Points earned from our scoring system based on drivers that you selected for that Contest Week, will be determined by their official finishing position (according to NASCAR) in that Contest Week’s scheduled race.
» Once registered, you may enter the Contest by submitting a weekly driver line-up (with the Login Name and Password you provided) for each Contest Week.
» Players will only receive points based on the performance of the properly selected drivers. Only one driver line-up is allowed per team name per Contest Week. If more than one driver line-up is submitted, the most recent one will be used.
» No responsibility is assumed for late, lost or misdirected entries. In the event that a scheduled race does not take place as scheduled, Sponsor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, either to cancel the relevant Contest Week or to treat any rescheduled race as if it was the scheduled race.

4. SELECTION DEADLINES
» The deadline for making selections will be at 12pm (noon) EST for each race.
» Players may submit their driver line-up for each Contest Week at any time prior to the deadline. Players may change their driver selections as long as that change is received by the deadline.
» For any Contest Week in which a player does not enter a driver line-up, he/she will receive zero points. THERE IS NO DEFAULT SELECTION. (To assure you of a team we have "Auto Pick Insurance" which builds you a competitive team of drivers based on a formula designed by the drivers past performances). This feature can be used up to 15 times during the course of the season. You cannot use our "Auto Insurance" as a default selection every week.

5. DETERMINATION OF THE WINNERS
» The "Weekly Winners" are determined by the registered player with the most of their top five drivers finishing in the top ten, and if tied, the most points resulting from your selected driver finishes, and if tied, the most efficient use of your salary cap (lowest salary cap used). If there is still a tie, then our TIEBREAKER system will be used. The same method will determine the 2nd through 5th places as well. (see prize tree below).
» The "Overall Winners" are determined by the registered player with the highest cumulative total of their drivers finishing in the top ten, and if tied, the most cumulative points resulting from your selected driver finishes, and if tied, the most efficient use of your salary cap (lowest salary cap used) on a cumulative basis.

Each winner will be required to respond to the winner notification by e-mail and, in such response, must confirm his/her full name, residential mailing address, and phone number to receive cash prize. The failure to respond timely and completely to the winner notification will result in forfeiture of the prize and Sponsors, in their discretion, may select an alternative winner from among those remaining eligible. Any prize notification returned as "undeliverable" may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner from among those remaining eligible entrants.
