2007 Cup Clash - The Daytona 500

[#6CupFan]

Hello everyone!

Welcome to another season of Cup Clash!!

A quick look at how we play the game....

10 pairs of drivers are posted before each Nextel Cup race. Pick which driver you think will finish higher from each pair, and give each pick a point value from 1-10 using each point value only once. The larger point values should be posted with the drivers that you are most confident in, and the smaller point values should be posted with the driver that you are least confident in.

A perfect score is 55, there are no bonus points awarded in this game.

*If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Please make it clear which driver you are picking from the list. (examples, which Busch, Gordon, etc..)

Following Daytona, the DEADLINE each week will be Nextel Cup QUALIFYING time. The qualifying time will be posted with the pairings. Times posted are Eastern Standard Time.


With numerous silly season changes this year, bear with me as choosing the pairings will be a little more difficult this year! For this reason also, please use driver names, not numbers in posting your picks.

I hope you all enjoy this season! Even if you miss a race here and there, continue to play, as there are always races throughout the standings! We will crown a champion at the end of the season!

Good luck to all of you and thanks for playing!

Hi Smilie,

If you pick a driver that does not qualify for the race, your pick will be disqualified and not counted.

If you would like to take a look at the scenarios for these drivers (duels/ qual speed, etc.) and decide to change your picks, you may do so until the deadline. (This applies to everyone of course)

Good luck Sunday and thanks for playing!

[harvick#1]

thats why Robby Gordon was a free 10 points :D

I know I'm late but the race hasn't started

Beth, MD24 DID make it before they went green.
It's your call but I would let him in. :D

[#6CupFan]

MD, your picks will be counted. :up:

I am accepting these because this was a different circumstance in which it was a "race" and not a typical qualifying, and I am certain that the green flag hadn't waived as Stan mentioned.

Starting next week and throughout the rest of the season, the deadline is the time posted, which is the start time of qualifying. I just can't keep track of exactly when the first car takes the track, etc...

Hope this exception is acceptable to everyone, it was tough to decide :)

[harvick#1]

no its not acceptable
















:p : giving MD a hard time

[#6CupFan]

Good thing I scrolled down, looked like you were giving me a hard time ;) :D

[MD24]

no its not acceptable
