2008 GANGSTA GAMES
RULES AND INFORMATION
Games and entries will be based on the CBS Gang Games page
LOSERS POOL
OBJECT: Score the most points by picking the worst possible finisher from the TOP 35 in NEXTEL points heading into each weeks race.
SCORING: You earn 1 point per position of your drivers finish. EX) You pick Newman and he finishes 37th, you earn 37 points. High score for the season wins.
RULES: You may only use a driver ONCE during the season. In the event your LOSER wins the race, you are ELIMINATED from the game.
PRIZES: TO BE DETERMINED
The FIRST 4 RACES of 2008 you use a driver from top 35 in the final 2007 NEXTEL drivers points. Starting with race #5, we use the top 35 in driver points of the 2008 season. The top 35 will be posted weekly so all participants know which drivers are eligible.
Each player has 4 BYE WEEKS that can be used if desired during the season. Situations arise (vacations, lack of PC access, hurricanes) where some players may have to miss a week or 2. You DO NOT have to use the bye weeks, but they are there if necessary. A bye week can also be used in a situation where a player doesn't feel comfortable that their remaining drivers will have a bad finish, so they can "pass" on a given week. They can come into play late in season when players choices of available drivers are thin.
MANUFACTURERS CHALLENGE
OBJECT: Pick the top 5 finishers each week by make (Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota). A weekly game accruing points towards a season total.
NOTE: For 2008 we are adding Toyota to the challenge.
It doesn't matter where the driver finishes in the race, only how he finished compared to others in the same make car.
SCORING: A 5-4-3-2-1 SYSTEM
A typical entry may look like this:
| CHEVY | DODGE | FORD | TOYOTA |
1 | Dale Jr. | Newman | Schrader | Stewart |
2 | Harvick | B Labonte | Sadler | Hamlin |
3 | Truex | Sorenson | Biffle | Busch |
4 | J Gordon | Busch | Kenseth | Waltrip |
5 | Johnson | Montoya | Edwards | Blaney |
Dale Jr finishes as best Chevy. You get 5 points, BUT Dale Jr also wins race, you get a bonus 5 = 10 total points. Ken Schrader finishes 16th, but is highest Ford finisher, you get another 5 points, = 15. JJ finishes as 5th best Chevy, you score 1 pt = 16. Follow me....Bobby Labonte finishes as 2nd best Dodge, he scores you another 4 points bringing you up to 20.
In the event a contestant correctly picks all 5 in a particular manufacturer in correct order, they would receive a 10 point bonus. In the highly unlikely event a contestant has a PERFECT weekly entry, they will receive a 50 point bonus.
PRIZES: A drivers hat of the winners choice. (based on product availibility, approximate value $20-$25)
TUNAS TOP 10 CHALLENGE
