Top 5 Fantasy Game     
    2025 Racing Season     
This Top5 Fantasy game is based on the old ESPN Stock Car Challenge game.

However, there is no 100 point cap limit on your 5 drivers you pick nor is there any
segments involved.

This game runs for the whole point races in 2025
for the three (3) series.  

Depending on how many are interested in for each series, there will be one for each
series.


Scoring is based on the following:

              Pole Sitter picks:

         If the driver you pick is the pole sitter for the race,
                              you will get 50 bonus points.

         If the driver you pick qualifies 2nd, 25 bonus points
         If the driver you pick qualifies 3rd, 10 bonus points
         If the driver you pick qualifies 4th,  5 bonus points
         If the driver you pick qualifies 5th,  1 bonus point.

Note:  If Qualifying is canceled for the scheduled event, then there will be no bonus
points for the Pole Sitter picks.

**NOTE: Daytona 500 (Sprint Cup) - Due to the way qualifying is done, there is no
        pole sitter pick for this race

For the top 5 picks for the race itself:

You earn points based on the points that NASCAR awards the driver with,
with the exception of the 5 bonus points for leading the most laps.
Rather than the 5 bonus points for being the one that led the most laps,
you will get one (1) point for each lap that the lap leader led for that
race.

There are additional bonus points and are outlined below"
If the driver you pick for a position for the first 5 positions finishes in
that position, bonus points are awarded for that pick.

                    1st place pick - 100 points
                    2nd place pick -  50 points
                    3rd place pick -  25 points
                    4th place pick -  10 points
                    5th place pick -   5 points

Here is an example of a scoring of a race:

        Player A picked Pole Sitter  as  12.
        Player A picked Top 5 as  (1st) - 43,
                                  (2nd) - 17,
                                  (3rd) - 48,
                                  (4th) - 55,
                                  (5th) - 8

        The race ended up with the following results:

                            1st Place - 48*
                            3rd Place - 17
                            4th Place - 55*
                            6th Place - 8**
                           38th Place - 43

* - Led a lap
** - Led the most laps with 55 laps

Points are calculated as:
43 =  1 point (38th place)
17 = 34 points (3rd place)
48 = 45 points (1st place + 5 bonus points (lap leader))
55 = 48 points (4th place + 5 bonus points (lap leader))
                + 10 points (4th place pick)
 8 = 91 points (6th place + 5 bonus points (lap leader)
               + 55 points (55 laps led [Most laps led])
   
12 qualified in the 3th position = 10 points

Total score :   219


 Deadlines for picks:
        The deadline for the Pole Sitter pick is when first car goes on the track to
        qualify for the series that you are playing in.

        The deadline for the race itself is when the initial green flag falls to start
        the race.

        You may submit any many times as you want.  The picks last received
        before the deadline will be the one used for the game for that race. This
        allows you to change your picks, if so desired, before the deadline.
        There is sometimes that there might be a driver change from the roster
        known to me.

 Rollover policy:
        There is a rollover policy for both the pole sitter and the Top 5 for
        the race.  Please keep in mind, that a driver you pick one week might
        not be in the race the next week.  If no picks are received for a
        week's race, then the previous race picks will be used. When rollovers
        are done, an email will be generated to let you know that your
        picks were rolled over.

 Submitting picks:
        There will be forms that I will be making available for team players to
        use to select your picks.

 E-Mail addresses:
        I will be sending out reminders of the approaching deadlines and the
        results for the races. The e-mail addresses you submit will be used
        solely for the purpose of these informational messages that I might
        send out.  The form is set up with your name (play name) that you want
        to use for the game. Your e-mail address will not be visible in the
        form.  Only the team players that are in the game will know the link          
        for the form to use.  A confirmation e-mail will be sent back to you          
        showing the picks you chosen.

Link for the form to use is at:
