Pickem Results - Daytona Online Winner:Mr. Mister 2nd:GARYGAZZA 3rd:COD Leader:Mr. Mister

[slorydn1]

As everyone here knows, Stan has been very much under the weather. A great many of you have continued to make your picks on the automated system anyway, and deserve to have your picks recorded and scored.

Well, the long wait is over.

The pickems have now been set up and scored, and you may find the detailed race by race results, as well as the championship standings here:

http://www.motorsportforums.com/pickems/calendar.php?series=nascar

I'm sure just about everyone of you eagle eyed observers will note a minor mistake in the calendar caused by a very bleary eyed idiot (me) who hadn't slept in over 24 hours and mistyped one single little digit causing the races at Fontana and Las Vegas to be transposed.
******IT DOES N0T MATTER THE SCORES ARE STILL CORRECT****

You will note that they are in the correct order on the championship standings Spreadsheet

I will endeavor to keep up with this as best as I can, until Stan is back up and running and able to handle it again, if at all (I sure hope he can, his results posts are so much prettier than mine, I don't have all those special graphics, and even if I did, I'm not sure I would even know what to do with them! :p )
In any event, alt of what I said here still stands:

Thank you for all of your support and here's a toast to Stan:
Where ever you are hurry up and get better soon, dammit!!!!

[MD24]

Great work Slo

Thanks

[Mark]

yep. Not many people playing this year so good results more than consistency will pay dividends.

[MD24]

If we could get someone to change the deadline for this week's Martinsville race to Friday 3.10 PM it would be great.
What is posted is incorrect, it's after qualifications.

Unfortunately I can't fix it, I don't have the horsepower to make those kind of changes. I'll shoot Mark a message and see if he can (he's probably asleep now, middle of the night across the pond and all that)

Thank you for quickly updating the results. Great job. You might wanna change from beer to milk. :)

[slorydn1]

You might wanna change from beer to milk. :)

I promise I will...some time near the end of MAY :p :

[harvick#1]

rubbish, I was the only one smart enough to pick Hamlin on the win too

[MD24]

Finally gain on mr_swiss :)

Thanks for the quick update

[slorydn1]

This weekend coming up is one of those weekends that I work night shift. Judging from the amount of practice and race coverage I have set on my DVR, it will be sometime on Tuesday before I score the pickems. If I can somehow get off of work a little early Monday Morning, then I may get everything scored Monday afternoon after I have had a chance to watch the races.....


WE SHALL SEE!!! ;)

[Mark]

Not many people playing this year. But that makes it all the harder. Because there's going to be much less variation in the points scores.

In the last race the last placed player was 27th which still gave them 174 points despite getting no drivers in the top 8 correct! Which is only a loss of 76 points, compared with a possible loss of 250 points.

So with less players you don't hurt so badly if you have a bad weeks picks, but at the same time those with good pickems can't pull away as quickly, so it'll be interested.

I'm still trying to figure out where everybody went. The scoresheet for f1 is 2 pages long :eek:

I finished p41 for the Malaysian Grand Prix and moved up several spots in the standings!!!!!!

I guess all things are cyclical, so maybe people will start coming back

[slorydn1]

Congrats to Garygazza on this weeks win! :beer:

[NoahsGirl]

congrats to Garygazza!

[slorydn1]

Because of the rainout of the race at Texas, I will be watching the race after I get home from work tomorrow nite. I will not have time to score the pickem until sometime on Tuesday (if work is slow I may have a chance to do it there)

Thkx...purposely left out the 17 though??? :p (Slo, you've been around long enough to know the 88 is for DJ and not D Jr.) ....hehehe :D

Yes that is true and no, I didn't purposely leave out the 17........I have been having major issues with keys not wanting to work then getting mad and hitting it extra hard and get several of the same character ( for example Tstran1777777777777777788).....I probably just deleted all the 7's and probably the 1 as well and just got p/o'd and didn't fix it....I can't wait for my birthday, Wifey is looking for a new laptop for me! :D

[slorydn1]

Congrats to Harvick1 for winning the Heluva Good Sour Cream Dips 400 at Michigan... :beer:

Just a quick note. The Chicago pickem closed early, but I have reset it to close tomorrow afternoon so you may continue to make your picks

Stan had done up all of these threads at the beginning of the year and had no way of knowing at the time when qually was going to be.....

I have been trying to go thru and fix them as they pop up, but had to work a lot extra lately and missed this one, but its fixed, now.

[slorydn1]

Wow, I won the Kansas race by 11 points. I haven't actually won in NASCAR Pickems since 2007 - it was again in Kansas, when I was the only one to pick Carl Edwards for the win.

Too bad I missed the first 21 races in this year's NASCAR Pickems! http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g202/gr8link/orn/00.gif

after the charolette race I did my picks for martinsville and wrote them down on a piece of paper. I dsated it and wrote all my picks just as picked thgem on the thread.
I'm looking today and there not there- I'm, not there.
my picks were
1st-Martin
2-Harvick
3-Stewart
4-ky Busch
5-Johnson
6-Newman
7-Truex jr
8-Hamlin
In that order, What happened to me and my picks. I gfo to the pickems site and my name is no longer even there when after cahrolette I was in 14th place.Am i checking the results too soon or something?

I just looked, your picks are where they belong....Juding from where u originally posted this I think you probably were just looking in the wrong place.

[dunes]

Thanks as usual you're right . I noticed my mistake a few hours after i posted my confusioin.
I know I cant win because I missed Indy, But I am determined to crack the top 10."Never give up"-Jimmy V

[GARYGAZZA]

Hi Storydn1,I dont wish to sound pedantic as you do a great job,Its pretty tight in the overall pickem standings at the moment just as it is in the chase and every point counts so can I query the result for Texas as I think you will find I got my pick in before Alexamatio?10 points could make a difference at seasons end as could overall wins.

[Alexamateo]

I think the computer does the tiebreaker automatically, and I got it because my second place pick (Harvick) scored more points than your second place pick (Johnson). Picking order has nothing to do with it.

[GARYGAZZA]

Hi Alexamateo,I realised that after I sent the post.I was getting confused with the tied scores in the cup scramble compitition.Congrats on the win.

[MD24]

Just like Harvick, 3rd place and no chance of winning :mark:

Good luck GARYGAZZA and mr_swiss.

[GARYGAZZA]

Dont rule your self out .Its still mathmatically possible for Harvick and you.

[slorydn1]

Congats to The Instant Classic on winning Homestead, and a big congrats to GARYGAZZA one winning the 2010 MSF NASCAR Pickem's Championship by 1 FREAKIN' POINT :eek: over MD24, and 4 points over Mr Swiss!!!!!
