Every week you pick 5 drivers, they have to be picked usually by a few hours before race time. After the race the drivers are awarded points for how they finished, and group members are awarded points by how their drivers did, and ranked in the group week-to-week. At the end of the season, Cope wins again
It looks like the format may be different this year, but last year you had 100.00 to spend on 5 drivers for each race. If a driver did well, his value went up for the next week and he would cost more, if he did poorly (like Junior did all year...lol) his value would go down and he would be cheaper to buy the next week.
Sounds simple enough , thanks Cletus

4/9
alright im in, username is the same as on afrcom.
Good luck you guys..
BumpDraft is back to make you guys look good again!
ETA: Anybody going to post this in GD? I forgot all about it last year until I read the thread in GD.
Just picked my 5 cars for Daytona in less than a minute. My first impression of the new system is that it eliminates much of the skill previously required to select a quality roster.

The Shootout drawing is coming up next on Speed. And then a re broadcast of both practice sessions after that.
I love racing!

I agree we need to drum up more participants. The only downside to GD is that the haters can't resist offering their two cents. Since
JimsZR2 self proclaims that he
"loves racing!

", I elect him to test the waters over in GD.

By the time the dust settles on his thread, someone else can create another last minute post over there just prior to the 500 to pick up a few stragglers. I promise to make a lap through the GD thread to talk a little smack as FIVE Time and Defending Champ. woooo!
I'll be in again this year
Mark Martin wins the pole for the 500 with Jr. second.

It is somewhat easier and dumbed down for sure. The drivers are locked into the group for each segment. At segment change you may have to decide which new B or A drivers to select if yours moved groups. It still takes a little skill (and luck) to pick the right person for short tracks, super speedway, etc. Not much challenge though when you can just swap between all of the drivers in a group without regard to cost.
In. I like the new format.
In, never done the Fantasy games before.

You only *HAVE* to pick new drivers to start out and for new segments. You have up until the start of the race to make driver changes.

If I did not have Jr in my picks, I would have been screwed.
I would like to thank my team and especially Jr., for gaining 8 spots on the last lap, to put me in the lead. I know it's just the first of many races, but hell I'm in first.
Oh yeah Harvick sucks.

yay, I'm in last.

You must have copied me because I used my own pea brain to make those picks.
ETA: I don't think you can see other peoples picks before the race.
Man what a beating of a race. Track problems reminded me of the early days at TMS.
Good article on the race and those last two laps.
