How to Play: The game will follow the actual race results in the following NHRA drag racing classes: • Top Fuel • Funny Car • Pro Stock • Pro Stock Bike
Players will register the names of eight pro class drivers, at least one driver per class, for all 24 national events and be awarded points according to actual race results. The player with the most points after each national event is a “Top Dawg” prize winner.
The MotorSportsPromos Drag Racing Fantasy League is divided into quarters. The one player who scores the most points per quarter wins a prize. At the end of the season, the top three players in overall scoring will also win prizes. Weekly Entry Deadlines: Players can change their picks at anytime up to 12:00 AM MST (Arizona) on the Friday before each 2010 national event weekend. At 12:00 AM MST on the Friday before each national, or midnight on every Thursday night, the site changes to show the player's confirmed picks for that weekend's race(s) and allow players to select drivers for the next national event.
The Points System: Player's drivers will earn points according to the same scoring system as used by the NHRA. Each Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Bike winner receives 100 points, the runner-up receives 80 points, the third round losers receive 60 points, the second round losers receive 40 points, and the first round losers receives 30 points. Qualifying points are also awarded; the fastest qualifier receives 8 points, the second-fastest qualifier receives 7 points, the third-fastest qualifier receives 6 points, the fourth-fastest qualifier receives 5 points; the fifth and sixth-fastest qualifiers receives 4 points, the seventh and eighth-fastest qualifiers receives 3 points, the ninth-through-twelfth fastest qualifiers receives 2 points, and the thirteenth through sixteenth-fastest qualifiers receives 1 point. Drivers also earn points for officially recognized national records and qualifying attempts but do not receive bonus qualifying points for best times per qualifying sessions.
Odds of Winning: Chances of winning weekly and championship prizes depend upon the total number of entries received and the skill used in choosing drivers.
Prizes: Prizes will be awarded on a national event, end-of-quarter and end-of-season basis. Top Dawg prizes will be awarded to the top point scoring team for each national event race weekend or round.
