Entry
Fee:
The cost for the year is $25 per team; entries and full payment for
each team is due by 2/18/24. Unpaid teams are not eligible for prizes. Official race pool standings are
usually posted
at the race pool's website
www.oxfordhillbilly.com the same day as
official Nascar race results are released, Monday evenings is the norm.
Choosing
Your Team:
Pick one driver from each of the 9 groups.
Your team points
is the total of what your 9 drivers earn for races 1-36, based on NASCAR'S official
race results. Points awarded for the duels do not count towards
your total, also because Nascar does not award stage points to the final 4
drivers in the playoffs, for fairness the Racepool will not award stage points
to ANY driver for the final race. If your driver
earns no points for any reason your team will also earn no points for that driver.
I try to only use full time drivers in the pool based on available information
when the groups are released, however
it is the players responsibility to verify the ride status of each driver prior to
the start of the season. While last minute changes are discouraged,
changes can be made to your team at no cost prior to green flag
of the Daytona 500. Once the race starts the season has officially begun
and teams are locked.
Penalties:
If Nascar penalizes a driver(s) by taking championship points away, all teams
with that driver(s) will be penalized the same. Penalties are applied to your
championship total, not your weekly points. The only time your weekly
points would change is if Nascar disqualifies a driver for a race and their
finish position has changed. Any point's penalties overturned by appeal
will be returned to all teams that had that driver at the time of the penalty
and still have that driver at the time of appeal.
Prizes:
There
will be a weekly prize awarded to the ‘hot team of the week’, and approximately
30-40
positions at the end of the season. Prize amounts and number of prizes
awarded will be determined by the
number of entries submitted. If there are any ties for awarded positions the prizes
will be combined and divided between the tied teams.
Free
Swaps:
Each team
is eligible to make 2 free swaps for the season. Your free swaps can be
made at any time after the start of the Daytona 500 and up to the start of race #36.
All replacement drivers need to come from the same
group as the driver you’re getting rid of.
If
your swap request is accepted it will go in at the next available race.
When a swap is made only the drivers are swapped, not the points. What
your new driver earns after the swap is made will be added to what your old
driver had at the time of the swap. Swaps and any race pool inquiries should
be made via email only. If you're on the mailing
list and are not receiving any emails from the race pool check your spam
folder, I get tagged as spam quite often. If found in spam folder you
should be able to tag the race pool emails as "not spam", you should
then receive
race pool emails normally after that.
Inactive
Driver:
If your
driver isn't earning any points for any reason you have the option to use
any free swaps you may have
remaining
or wait until the driver has been declared inactive.
Drivers will be declared inactive once they have not earned any points for 3 consecutive races.**
Once declared inactive the driver is eligible to be swapped for the next
available race. The driver remains inactive until that driver
earn points. To see if your driver has
been declared inactive I keep
track of points earned for each race here--->>>
www.oxfordhillbilly.com/2024/information/pointsbyrace.htm. Any
inactive swaps do not count towards your 2 free swaps.
** In the unfortunate event that we have
a death of a driver, the Racing Pool
will immediatly declare that driver inactive. This is the ONLY
scenerio the Race Pool will waive the 3 race requirement to be declared
inactive.
