Playoffs? Playoffs!?!? PLAYOFFS!!!!!?
--------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE:
A Dealbreaker Pick may be taken from you by someone else also using a Dealbreaker. This is called "nuclear option"
driver picking. Yes, this is unfair and everyone may use up their Dealbreakers going after the same driver, in the same week.

--------------------------------------
Everybody pick a driver each week. Nobody picks the same driver, picking is first come first served. The thread will be posted weekly. By rule, I get to pick Jeff Burton each week if I am so compelled. The newly enshrined Cribbage Hall Of Famer and Racelog co-host Keeping Score gets to pick Juan Pablo Montoya every week. Tally up the points of the driver yous pick each week and reset the field after the Richmond race. This will be a 26 week play-in to the Chase For The Cup.
This means there will only be 43 spots available in this contest. SO SIGN UP EARLY AND OFTEN(you mults yous).


Then, starting with the first Chase race at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, the Top 12 posters shall be assigned to the driver corresponding in the SPRINT CUP standings. They keep this driver for the duration of the Chase. The chosen 12 will also get to pick a driver out of the Chase to make things more interesting. And rack up the points for the championship.

Confused? Good. Reward? Yes. A prize of undetermined greatness will be given out after the season.

1. If you pick someone and one of the players ahead of you in the standings want that driver, you have to pick another driver. This will go on for the rest of the season, just like NASCAR. If you don't pick another driver by the drop of the green flag you will be assigned the best available driver based on qualifying. A poster can only have their pick bumped ONCE per week. Your second pick will be protected from getting bumped a second time. Unless someone uses a Dealbreaker award on you.

*Dealbreaker award
This rule has been added to let someone who picks a race winner to be given a Dealbreaker award. It would let the poster either pick bump anyone(except the leader) ahead of them in the standings or take somebodys second pick. It can be saved and used at anytime during the regular season, even right before the drop of the green flag. The Dealbreaker award is a regular season gimmick and none will be given during the playoff season. The awards can transfer to the playoffs, but all deals must be complete by the last regular season race Week 26 at Richmond.

Any players who get their pick bumped or somebody goes and uses the Dealbreaker on them, they will be PM'ed in a timely manner as possible. Dealbreaker awards are able to be bought, sold, or bartered. Players don't have to use them every week or ever use them at all and sell them to players that would really need it late in the regular season. The Dealbreaker may be dealt for straight cash homie, or you can trade some of your points, or work out something to job a player ahead of you in the standings.

Shenanigans are endorsed and encouraged by the Rules Cabal. All trades, deals, and any other kind of brilliant schemes must be presented in the weekly thread and approved by the Rules Cabal for them to be used that week. The value of the Dealbreaker award has yet to been set. I'll leave that up to those involved in the dealings. And let anyone say a single cross word about the Rules Cabal decisions and watch what happens.


2. Driver picking priority will be based off of the weekly standings. Enforcement of rule #1 is ironclad and absolute, unless I feel otherwise or my belly is filled with party liquor. Whichever occurs first.
3. Up to 43 people will be eligible for the contest during the first 26 races of the season. Once the Chase To The Cup starts, only the top 12 will advance to the playoffs.
4. You can sign up and never make a pick, you'll be assigned the best available driver based on qualifying that week.
5. Failure to abide by these rules will be dealt with the most harsh and unfair of judgements by the NASCAR Pick 'em rules cabal, err, committee.

Overall Standings
After Week 26

Total Pts. _____________Chase Driver_______2ndPick
15 Terry's Peeps****____Matt Kenseth______Martin Truex Jr.
12 Gloopan Kuratz***____Jimmie Johnson_____Brian Vickers
12 Racelog Announce Team**__Kyle Busch___*Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
6 Peoria Matt***________Kevin Harvick______ Marcos Ambrose
6 Apologist*____________Carl Edwards_______Mark Martin
6 Dr. Ken_______________Kasey Kahne_______*Brad Keselowski
3 Hatchetman___________Joey Logano_______Paul Menard
3 Urlacher's missing neck*_Greg Biffle_________Aric Almirola
3 newper_______________Ryan Newman______Jamie McMurray
0 chaspoppcap**_______Dale Earnhardt Jr____Danica Patrick
0 RFDC*________________Clint Bowyer_______*Juan Montoya
0 Hawg Ass*____________Kurt Busch_________*Denny Hamlin
0 Otunga's CoffeeMug***_Jeff Gordon_______NP-AJ Allmendinger
*Dealbreaker Pick __________________________*2ndPick NP-NoPick

Yes indeed, Hawg Ass gets to transfer to the Chase. You may be asking yourself, what is "The Field"? That will be the best finishing driver NOT picked or any of the Chase drivers. This may be more fair or unfair to the LCW winner. Otunga's CoffeeMug will only get to make one pick per week, just like anybody else left. The Field driver will be in a pool of the remaining drivers not picked each week. Good luck to everybody left in the contest. Have at it, boys!

You can't pick a driver that has been assigned to somebody.

Stealing other Chase drivers is a ballsy move.

If KS doesn't have Keselowski, then I'll make him my 2nd pick.
