rickctroop13 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Here's a link to the Yahoo rules page for anyone with questions on play and scoring. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/sports/fantasysports/racing/rules/;_ylt=AmCD2kx5wbypo8EjsneH9gvF93hG this league will not add teams after season starts (Yahoo allows joining until November) Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 For any new teams this season- winner of league gets an unactivated coin from each of the other players... honor system- I'm not gonna collect coins in advance and (hopefully not have to)hound people to send after season...

+Mauison Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Just signed up. I've played Fantasy Football and Baseball in the past, but NASCAR is new to me so there will be a big learning curve for myself. Good luck to everyone! Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Room for 4 more... off to as slow a start as last years 500... Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Room for 4 more... off to as slow a start as last years 500... Bumpidy looking like a slow start on both leagues this season... a week left to get in.. Edited February 13, 2011 by rickctroop13 Quote Link to comment
KD1EJ Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Got my winning line up in, see you all in victory lane,lol Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 The Chase is on! With top 3 separated by a whopping 18 points the title is up for grabs! A couple of rough weeks with my drivers seemingly sponsored by 'Target' has left me a challenging 135 out of the lead and Fossil another 162 from there. And when NASCAR gets finished investigating Childress's team orders, they're gonna take up Opal spinning out to help Dave! Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Shakeup at the top, 2 teams leapfrog to a tie for the lead by a 'whopping' 21 points.. I scunched up to a meer 122 back... Fossil moved to longshot status... Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Seven to go, top 2 are inching away in a nose to tail draft... Hawaiian Honu with a couple of monster weeks leads Vegas Gamblers by a slim 22 points. Remember #3 is 109 off the lead with Skidmarks hitting the wall hard, 182 back. Still mathematical for Fossil Fuel, but at 524 back, the well's about tapped out... Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 And Hawaiian Honu adds a few seconds to his lead...up to 92 points. Top score 3 of 4 weeks of Chase. Time for a debris caution? Vegas Gamblers 92 back, Remember #3 -198, skidmarks -222. Fossil Fuel (-665 with 6 to go 600 max available to earn) headed to the hauler. Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 A week off from updates, but the action has been hot 'n heavy! Two MONSTER weekly gains rocketed Vegas Gamblers from 92 points back to 60 in front! Showing Remember #3 that 151 points isn't totally out of the question..... At 252 back, the fork is making a mark if not piercing my skin....pretty much done. Will cool heads prevail on the 1/2 mile paperclip or will a bunch of chasers leave chewing on Tums & washing 'em down with a Goody's cocktail for fast relief? Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 White flag next time by...... two car breakaway with Vegas Gamblers out front by 89 points and Hawaiian Hondu looking for a bobble to take advantage of. Unsolicited commentary on NASCAR- just doesn't seem right tradition-wise or make sense ratings/excitement-wise (vs NCAAF & NFL) to have a home stretch of Texas/Arizona/Homestead. can you say "Rockingham"?! Then again, I'm someone who (other than the circumstances requiring it) got a kick out of wondering if they'd need snow tires for the 2001 finale on Thanksgiving Friday in Loudon).

rickctroop13 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Pull them belts tight! Buckle up those chin straps! Honu picks up 63 points to trail by a whole 26 points!!!! Might be worth me looking at how (if) Yahoo breaks ties... Quote Link to comment

Might be worth me looking at how (if) Yahoo breaks ties... Here's the rules, I'll let you guys do the math on your own if you're that curious.

Hey VG, what did the casinos have for odds on that? Posted link above to Yahoo's standings and SEASON winner declaration for our league. The first page you get, listing Honu(Mauison) is for PLAYOFF SEGMENT winner. Soooooo.... despite Hawaiian Honu finishing in Championship fashion winning 5 of 10 playoff weeks, winning a league best (by an impressive 4 wins over nearest competitors,winning 2 of 3 season segments..... the winner under the Yahell tie breaker system is.....

I wonder what the odds were of the Chase plus our League both ending up in a tie? Probably a billion to one! Weird Yahoo tiebreaker system but it is what it is. I had a lot of fun and can't wait till next season, which is only three months away! That's a lot better than waiting six months, like baseball and football. Thanks again to rickctroop13 for running the league! Quote Link to comment

I've played Fantasy Football and Baseball in the past, but NASCAR is new to me so there will be a big learning curve for myself. Good luck to everyone! Learning curve. Yeah, right! Well, if you look back, my first week score of 164 was my lowest scoring week the entire season. I really had no idea what I was doing that first week. So it goes to show you, you have one really bad week in scoring, and it can cost you the championship. It's definitely different than other fantasy sports where all you have to do is make the playoffs, then each playoff week is important. With this league, every week counts the entire season.

So far I received two Caching Crow and Opalsns coin. (one silver and one copper) As per an agreement between myself and Mauison there will be no coin, due to the fact that I still owed him a coin for him winning the Baseball Fantasy league.
