I understand many will be going on vacation (at least, the ones that can afford it) so I will start this thread early. You can post your lineup before you go and use the method I used for the Michigan I game for the drivers outside the top 35 in owner points.


Here's the current entry list for reference:
http://www.jayski.com/stats/2008/ent...2008-entry.htm


Also, I sadly announce the closing of CGRFS's 40 team formerly driven by Dario Franchitti. This is a great loss to the community and as the commissioner of Low Ball, I commend the consistently poor finishes this team has produced for anyone that has had the privilege of placing whoever was driving the 40 car on their lineup. We shall miss you!


Finally, note that if you have not started playing Low Ball yet and want to join in, this is you last chance to do so!


LOW BALL RULES/NOTES:
  1. Each participant selects 8 drivers by replying to each week’s Low Ball thread.
  2. Picks are to be submitted after qualifying and before the race begins.
  3. The score for each participant will be the combined NASCAR driver points (as reported by NASCAR.com) of all the selected drivers.
  4. Scores will not be affected by any points penalties assessed by NASCAR. Scores will be adjusted accordingly for any scoring errors.
  5. The object of the game is to score as few points as possible. Therefore, try to select drivers that will finish poorly.
  6. Each participant should include a tie breaker score by guessing the total NASCAR driver points of the drivers selected. In case of a tie, the closest to the actual total points earned will be placed over the other participant.
  7. For every 7 weeks a participant plays Low Ball, 1 high score will be dropped. Therefore, a maximum of 5 high scores can be dropped if a participant enters all 36 races.
  8. If two participants select the same drivers, the participant that submitted their lineup first will be the only one that will be valid. The second participant must change their lineup before the start of the race.
  9. Any invalid lineups will not be considered for scoring purposes.
  10. To be recognized as the Low Ball champion, the participant must have entered in at least 18 races by the end of the season.
Please use the format below each week:

Drivers Picked:

2. _________________
