CRL's IndyCar picks game 2014
Since Nelson is dropping IndyCar from the Dice game full-time, I decided to make an IndyCar-exclusive game for this season.
The premise is simple:
For each race, you will pick one driver, just one. You don't have to pick the same driver each race. Multiple users can pick the same driver. If your driver finishes in the Top 3 in the race, you will receive points. But, like the Dice game, if a driver that nobody picked finishes in the Top 3, the next highest-finisher in the order that a user picked will be bumped up so points can be allocated.
The points system:
90 points for first, 60 for second, 30 for third (much like the series this year, the points will be double for Indy, Pocono, and Fontana - 180, 120, 60). In the event that a driver that was picked by multiple users finishes in the Top 3, the points for that position will be divided evenly amongst each user. Say four users pick Scott Dixon, and he finishes second. Those users would each receive 15 points (60 divided by 4). The reason for the even points division is because if I awarded 60 points apiece to four people, it would get boring, so, the even points division encourages users to go for a more risky pick that may pay off, since they were the only one to choose to go with that driver.
For the doubleheader weekends, you will pick one driver for both races. The Top 3 will be determined by their drivers' average finish over both races of the doubleheader.
If you have any more questions, ask, and I'll try to answer.
Now, let's go for St. Pete!
(I will keep track of who picks which driver by having the driver's name underlined, and a list of each user who picks said driver under that driver's name.)
Picks close one-hour BEFORE Saturday qualifying (1 PM Eastern).

Re: CRL's IndyCar picks game 2014
At the end of the first week, Leckliter grabs the lead, since he was the only one to pick Ryan Hunter-Reay, and RHR finished second. Will Power's win sees Barney and Packer get an equal share of first place points, since they both picked him. And flyingturns89 gets the full 30 for third, since he was the only one who picked Helio.

Re: CRL's IndyCar picks game 2014
Nobody picked Mike Conway or Carlos Munoz, so, Packer and Nelson will split first place points since Will Power was the highest-finishing driver that was picked. Nobody picked Juan Pablo Montoya either, so Alta and racer612008 will split second place points since Simon Pagenaud was the second-highest-finishing driver that was picked. Finishing right behind Pagenaud in the order was FlashRod4's pick, Mikhail Aleshin, so, Rod will get all 30 third place points.
The standings after two rounds:
1. PackerMan71 - 90
2. navycook75 - 60
3. BWardboy88 & Spannerhead29 (Nelson) - 45
4. flyingturns89, Alta, racer612008, & FlashRod4 - 30
Picks for Alabama will open a week from tomorrow (Monday).

He seemed to pick up the pieces during Long Beach, so maybe he could prove something good here.

Re: CRL's IndyCar picks game 2014
Congratulations, NeverNeutral! You were the only user to pick Ryan Hunter-Reay, and he won, so, you collect the full 90 points for first place this week. Ben, you were the only driver to pick Marco Andretti, and his second-place finish gives you the whole allotment of 60 points for the week. f1fan12, and Packer, you picked Scott Dixon, and he finished third, so you'll each get 15 points from the split of 30.
Standings after three rounds:
1. PackerMan71 - 105
2. NeverNeutral - 90
3. navycook75 & Ben Atkins - 60
4. BWardboy88 & Spannerhead29 (Nelson) - 45
5. flyingturns89, Alta, racer612008, & FlashRod4 - 30
6. f1fan12 - 15
Picks for the inaugural GP of Indianapolis will open a week from tomorrow.
