Re-reading the posts, I've probably not done a good job of helping her out with all the back-and-forth arguing.

Apologies to her.
Ditto, people have bad moments this is one of mine. I literally thought I read the race was starting at 5pm et for some reason, still do actually. With them having to run the Xfinity afterwards, I think they moved this race up some. Anyways, I think Miss Le is a great asset here, sweet as can be too. I also have great respect for Tanko, and feel as though he's sharp as a tac. Only person I should have been mad at was myself, for missing Le post about start time. I play in 3 pretty high buy-in nascar leagues and almost didn't get those picks in either. Thank God I got home early from a lunch date with the wife and saw the start time. I do apologize for the drama I created and have no problem with being penalized last place points for this race. But...I do hope BMR ( or whoever submits payout proposals) will consider higher or at least the same prize amounts, we have played for in the past, in contests going forward. :cheers:

Take care.

Le shouldn’t have to pick a side. She clearly stated the time picks are due. Some folks missed it. Those picks don’t count. Play next time or don’t. Stay at BMR or don’t. But whatever the case chill the fukk out.

It’s like a football or NBA game. It says starting time 7:30, which would mean in a contest such as this we’d need to get our picks in by 6:30. Now the game won’t start exactly at 7:30, there’s always a few extra minutes for National Anthem, etc., But if the listed starting time was 7:30, or 2:30 in this case, and we were supposed to have picks in by an hour before the listed starting time, anyone posting picks after 1:30 in this case is late.

The Xfinity race is a perfect example. Everyone had to get their picks in yesterday. If people try to cheat the deadline and say the race isn’t actually starting until Sunday at 7 pm and turn picks in late Sunday afternoon that’s advantageous. What if Austin Dillon, who’s running both races, got hurt in the first race. They’d have that knowledge for their Xfinity picks. Those who got picks in on time wouldn’t have had that info.

Craig got me thinking too. Last year here, missing 1 race might cost you in the 13 race overall prizes, like it did me today. But you still had the $25-$15-$10 to play for weekly, so everyone kept playing regardless, even if life got in the way. This is a 5 week series (13 races), $250 ($50/wk) isn't too much to ask for to keep players engaged. How bout we bring that back for the next 13 race session and then splash it even more for the 10 race chase? Cause as Craig said in the movie Friday, "We ain't got no sugar". :hattip:

** Deadline to submit entries will be Sunday, February 26th at 2:30 PM ET (1 hour before the race begins) **
sorry for any confusions guys but in post 2 it says 2:30 pm et to submit your picks which is an hour before the race time. next time i'll just take out an hour before the race, but am i mistaken that yesterdays race was scheduled for 3:30?

also, i'm sorry that the contest prizes are changed from last year, but that sort of isn't in my control.

i'll do my best to clarify the rules better for all of you for future contests/posts.

I hope you guys have fun with BMR's contests, we're going to have lots more coming up very soon.

Race #5 results.
If there are any errors, please let me know ASAP.



I've added a notes column indicating if a poster used a duplicate car # (within the same series) or a duplicate driver (across all series). If a duplicate was used, the score for that driver is last place.

I believe the rules for duplicate Car#'s and Drives is not well understood. I am offerring this information to help people avoid errors.
  • You can only use the same driver once. Even if they drive in all 3 series; Truck, Xfinity, and/or Cup, you can only use them once. Kyle Busch is a perfect example since he races in all 3 series. If you use Kyle Busch in a Cup race, you can never use his name again anywhere in this contest.
If you see a mistake in the scoring, please let me know.
If you have questions about interpretation of the rules, please contact Le (contest organizer).

The problem is that NASCAR says the race starts at 3:30 pm Eastern on their site but they don't start racing until around 3:45 or so because of the National Anthem and other opening ceremony stuff so I can see where it's a little confusing for people. Just a heads up so that you can take this into consideration for next time.

yep understandable on that. was just basing it off of the actual scheduled time.

i'll definitely leave out 1 hour before race starts moving forward. whatever time i post moving forward will be the deadline time.

Thanks Tanko Le and yourself are doing a great job, any contest is hard to run correctly, even harder running a contest with this type of scoring!
