2018 NASCAR Pool - Open for all members

[dara]

Here is the announcement you've been waiting for, well just before the season starts!

THE 2018 IPTVTALK NASCAR POOL - open to all members

The prize... For the season champ a diecast model of your choice! Two other diecasts will be offered as a prize during the season, to be determined how later... maybe a one-off race, or a series of races, like the Bristol Night Race, or the Grand Slam (Daytona 500, Talladega Geico 500, Charlotte CocaCola 600, Darlington Southern 500) .

Here are the rules...

1. Select 3 drivers, and mark one as your favorite for a Win and Stages. Points will be taken from the official results posted on NASCAR.com after the race. Picks must in before the Green Flag drops for the race. Selections can be posted as early as you wish. If you want to pre-select due to a vacation, just let us know.
2. Extra points will be added to the score for a race win or stage win. A race win will get 50 pts, but winning an intermediate stage will get 25 points. So, if your favorite sweeps the stages and race, you will get 100 additional points.
3. Late entries will be accepted until mid 1st stage, however not eligible for the diecast for the individual race, no bonus points for the 1st stage, and will have 1/2 points of the lowest pick of the entry.
4. If you miss your selection or submit after mid way of the 1st stage, you will still get points, but will be 10 points less than the lowest entry submitter, unless you pre-selected and announced it.
5. In case of a tie at the end of the season (or series), the winner will be the one who selected the most winners. If there is a single race and a tie, or if there is a tie for a series/season with the number of winners, we will look at the number of laps led by your 'favorite'.
6. No season points will be awarded for the All Star race. However it might be the 'single' race for a diecast.

Questions... please feel free to ask, and good luck!

Here is the Schedule :
https://www.nascar.com/monster-energy-nascar-cup-series/2018/schedule/
When does it (Pool) Start...?!?

The pool officially starts with the Daytona 500, February 18. Speed Week doesn't count. I'm not yet sure about the Grand Slam yet. Daytona 500 will not be a one-off race.

[crazed 9.6]

Daytona 500 will commence in 7 Days, 2 hours, 18 minutes and 3 seconds

oh wait, it is now 7 days, 2 hours, 17 minutes and 30 seconds :)

Hey thnx for them car#/driver stats 4me2c :)

Alex Bowman is driving #88 for Hendricks (retired Dale Earnhardt Jr's #88)
Chase Elliot driving #9 this year with Rookie William Byron in the #24 (Chase's #24 last year, which had been Jeff Gordon's number. Jeff had that same number his whole nascar Cup career, except his Rookie year).
Aric Almirola in Danica's #10 while Danica has #7 for her final race at Daytona (as was announced).


Don't worry KOF, it will be easy peasy to play in the pool. You will see that soon.

Dara has already posted the race thread for next Sunday, so in fact you can post your 3 pics on that thread anytime right up to race time.
http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?36735-NASCAR-2018-Race-1-Daytona-500-Schedule-Starting-Order-and-Picks

You will see that the Pole qualifier has been posted (Alex Bowman won the position in last Sunday's qualifying), and the rest of the line-up will also be posted soon as their positions are known (which will be Feb 15).

Each new race day will have a new thread.

The Daytona is different then any other race during the season as per qualifing and pole position and etc...
What normaly happens during regular season races is they qualify for stating positions during the week before the race, (somewhere between Thursday to Sunday morning, usually).
Everyone gets theirs positions at that time.
But with Daytona500 , the qualifying only decides the Pole sitter (fastest qualifier) and the rest of the drivers do not know what position they will be in till this Thursday.
There will be two short races Thursday night called the Duels. And that decides the starting order for Sunday's Daytona 500... with the pole sitter already decided.

Now during regular season races, every week (called speed week) they have practices and qualifing before Sunday;s race.
But not all drivers will be racing on Sunday.
Lets say there are 49 cars trying to qualify but only 42 cars are allowed to race, then a few cars will not qualify,with lap times too slow).
So the list of drivers eligable to race any given Sunday will not be the actual drivers to race that Sunday (there will always be a coupe or a few that don't qualify)>

So if you pic your pics early,before qualifying, then you may actually pic a driver that may not qualify)< so we generally wait to see the qualifying results before we make our pics.... BUT you can pic early and then edit your pics and change them after too, (up to a certain time before the race starts).


Hope that was not too confusing, it even looks confusing to me :eek:
But it will be easy peasy, you will see :)

thank you crazed 2.0 for writing all this. this absolutely cleared everything and I will definitely wait. i think I will be ok now. sorry for asking little too much because I did not know anything about nascar. :cool: I appreciate all your help from bottom of my heart.kof

[crazed 9.6]

There will be 3 authentic 1/24 scale nascar diecasts as prizes
Dara will let us know when a diecast will be included in any given race day, with 3 in total for the season.

Example...
http://nascar.frgimages.com/FFImage/thumb.aspx?i=/productImages/_2954000/ff_2954642_full.jpg&w=340

[crazed 9.6]

If I have thought this thru correctly, a max score of 244 can be achieved any given race day.
That is if you pick the winner correctly and that winner also wins both stages (50 + 25 + 25)
And plus you would need to pic the second and third place drivers as well.
This does not count bonus points that nascar awards for lead laps or most laps lead .. so in theory, that max of 244 could be slightly higher.

[4me2c]

Will Someone Please Explain how 4me ended up with 24 points...?!?

So 4me and Others has/have a Better Understanding how this all werks...! TIA...1

[crazed 9.6]

In Order 1-2-3...!
1)...Danica Patrick
2)...Kevin Harvick
3)...Kyle Busch


check dara's post #98 or dishuser's link too is same :)

Patrick received 2 points
Harvick received 10 points
Busch received 12 points

If there are 42 cars in the race then first place gets 42 points and second would be 41 points and so on, with last place getting 1 point
If the driver also gets a couple bonus points during the race for laps lead then it is added as well.
If you pick the winner correctly, you would get his points and also a bonus of 50 points for picking the winner.
There are 3 Stages to a race with Stage one and stage two getting bonus points while stage 3 is the race win.
So if your pic does win a stage or both stages then you would get 25 points for each stage won.
The asterics beside your pic decides that.

You do have to submit you picks for each race going forward. Just remember to look at this particular subforum for each week's thread. If you don't, you get the lowest points for a submitted week minus 10. For example, Orziz will get 10 points for this race (Crazed 20, less 10). Next week's race is more conventional, less big crashes, but you can submit the same drivers if you wish.

The scores are now official... crazed calculations are good.

If you win 4me2c, all you have to do is pick Stroker Ace and we will certainly look for that car :)

sure you can win :)

What is gonna happen is that thru out this season of racing,,, dara will announce on any particular race day that the day's pool winner will get a diecast. for winning that particular race day... That win can be anyone's really....even I have been known to win a race or two :eek:

There will be two of those given during regular season and one more for our season champ.

Anyone can win those diecasts that will be thrown in on any given race day at dara's desecration :)


We will have to make a stipulation that a contestant would have to have been participating in other races too in order to win the random diecast races.
I will ask dara to get something posted about that for us later :)

[crazed 9.6]

Here are a few diecasts that have been won in the past thru our pools held at the old site.
There are some diecasts that were won but not listed, example is that I don't think I have all the diecasts included that were given out at the end of the 2016 season.
Dara and Oak and Josh were our podium winners for that year.
Dara is our standing Champion from that same year and with Oak being our previous champion.

You can see that it's not just one or two members that win., most everyone was a winner one time or another :)
There are a few missing thou and was almost everybody in the pool that won at least one diecast in a 3 year period of our pools held.

Some not mentioned here are.... Cimarron, Postman and Zalliv but they did win as well.
Zalliv was also our version of the Grand Master when it came to race day tallies and stats.
I think it was Postman who took the last two or three diecasts in a row during one season :eek:
I believe Cimarron won two diecasts thru out, but opted to throw them back in the pool for another diecast race day :)

Just Curious, how did Marley get 70 if there were no picks by Marley...?!?q

[crazed 9.6]

Just Curious, how did Marley get 70 if there were no picks by Marley...?!?q

entrants who miss a race instead of getting zero and perhaps taking that member outta contention, we give that member 10 points lower then the lowest points seen in the race.
So lowest points seen this race was 80
80 -10 = 70

The second race will be one of the three late pre-playoff races... Bristol night race, Southern 500 at Darlington, or the Brickyard 400. I'll run a poll for that, but I'll also include an option for having all three races total up... that might be fun.

Tiebreak Rules for those 'raffles' will be posted, and also for the eligibilty (I'm thinking that participation in at least 2 races before the 'raffle, and for the tie break... first one posting will be the winner if there is a tie).

Starting order posted for the Saturday Richmond Toyota Owners 400 race.

[4me2c]

Just curious, why the Green and Yellow Boxes...?!?

[ilan]

Yellow looks like low score for that race. Green with bold black looks like high score for that race. Green with non-bold text looks like top scores for that race (i.e., 1, 2, 3), although I'm not sure how the cut-offs are calculated.

[Orziz]

I believe it's green when they pick the winner, bold for high score and yellow for low score.

[4me2c]

Column
#1 No Green 2 Yellow,
#2 2 Green 1 Yellow,
#3 3 Green No Yellow,
#4 8 Green No Yellow,
#5 4 Green No Yellow,
#6 No Colors.
#7 4 Green No Yellow,
#8 5 Green 2 Yellow,
#9 5 Green 1 Yellow...?!?

[Orziz]

Yellow- missed picking drivers for the race thus getting lowest score (lowest picked score -10pts)

[ilan]

No color probably oversights. Orziz most likely correct on green for winner picks. I didn't take much time...just looked for patterns.

[dara]

Just curious, why the Green and Yellow Boxes...?!?

Neigh.. *from the horse's mouth*

Green indicates that the player picked the winner of the race. Yellow means the player didn't submit picks on time, and gets -10 from the low submitted picks. Bold is the highest score for the race.

[ilan]

Thankfully it was from that end of the horse...

2012 Tony Stewart #14 Mobil 1 Galaxy (Lionel Action)

It appears to be not all that rare, but I wanted something that would remind me to change my oil from time to time, especially when it "smokes." lol. Kevin Harvick would have been my second choice.

[crazed 9.6]

very nice :)

LOL... smokin !!

[dishuser]

I liked it better when he was 20
he threw punches back then :cool:

[crazed 9.6]

I am pretty sure that on a few of them #20 cars, he has 'Smoke' written as his driver name just above driver's window.

That #14 Mobile Oil car is pretty sweet :)

I beleive that the diecast hobby has come down to one main manufacture now (well since a couple years) and that is Lionel Action cars.
I will check on that but pretty sure is how it is now. They will all have open window boxes.
So any new authentic nascar diecast car after just a year or two ago will be a Lionel Action car only.

[dara]

and what if there is an Accident and the Top 3-5 are out...?!? We Have Seen Accidents Early before...!

If that happens, we might have to crown a different overall champion if his/her entry was unfair to the podium. The late entrant is still ineligible for the individual race diecast. I highly doubt someone that high up would intentionally jeopardize their position by coming in late with an entry.

For the last two races, if you want your submission to be hidden for competitive reasons, please say so in the post, and/or PM me (or available staff) so we can moderate the post. At green flag, I will 'approve' the posts so they can be publicly seen. You can also PM me your picks as well with that request, if you want. Since staff can see moderated posts, their picks won't be moderated... but none of the staff are close to winning overall, especially after Harvick swept the stages.

Congratulations to minitor for winning the 2018 iptvtalk NASCAR pool. Please let me or Crazed who you want for your Diecast win.

[ilan]

Congrats to minitor for winning the pool and to dara for conducting the pool with panache!

[dara]

For next year's pool, if there is one, we will still use the stages for favorites, but I'm thinking that the stages were overweighted compared to the wins. So, the stage wins will probably be worth on 10 pts, but the race will still be 50 points. The reason why is that the racers only get a max of 10 points for a stage, and only 1 playoff point. This season was weird as there were 3 dominant racers, and it really wasn't that hard to make selections with that fact. We might have 4 picks vs. 3 picks to make it more challenging.

Any suggestions, please post them. Who knows, NASCAR might change scoring rules again. The final race caught me off guard as the C4 officially didn't get stage points, but the other drivers did. Just to throw a curve at the end, we might go with official scores, but still allow someone picking a favorite to get the bonus points, but no stage points. That might give someone out of the top 3 a slightly better chance to catch up by not picking those in the C4.

[dishuser]

I was able to go from 10th to 1st by not picking the top 3

[dara]

I was kind of hoping that the guys off the podium would pick outside the the top three as well, trying to do the hail mary, like crazed and me. I hope that Chevy comes back with a better package next season. Hendrick MotorSports didn't do all that well this season, as well as other Chevys, but Stewart Haas did the right move by going with Ford.

Thanks again Crazed and Dara for putting this together- hopefully it will continue next season. Dara, I think it's a good idea to drop the scoring of stages down- would make it more competitive.

One of StewardHaas racing team prolly :)
Harvick, Armirola, Bowyer or Kurt Busch

Probably wont be Kurt Busch, pretty sure he will be driving the 1 car for Chip Ganassi next year, less Monster comes up with more sponsor dollars for the 41, but they only fund 2 year terms, doubt that will happen given they are cup sponsors as well, pretty safe to say he is gone, less something huge happens, soon, very,
