Racing/Trucks/Rules - The Fantasy Sport Site

There is no longer a waiting list for the Xfinity Series, as players are called up to the series based on performance in the Craftsman Truck Series. When a spot in the Xfinity Series opens up, it will be offered to the player highest in the Truck Series points without a spot in the Xfinity Series. The same applies for an open spot in the Victory Lane Racing NASCAR Cup Series (highest in Xfinity Series points).

The only exception to this rule is if a player wins a Championship in the In The Groove Racing League (automatic Cup Series entry) or in the Craftsman Truck Series (automatic Xfinity Series entry).

The bottom three finishing players in points are not guaranteed a spot in the series the following season. This will allow for Champions from lower series who do not already have a spot in the higher series to be given a chance in the higher series.

Players will submit picks for every race. The groups are set up by owner's points. There are 5 groups, which make up the top 20 in owner's points. Group 5 will be a "bonus driver" - any driver not already chosen. Also, every player has the option of choosing "Other" for group #5, and writing in a driver NOT ALREADY ON THE PICK SHEET IN ANY GROUP. Each player will also pick a manufacturer for each race, and will receive the points for the top finishing driver in that manufacturer (without stage points). Be sure to enter your name, email address and race winner (tie breaker) before entering your picks.

*In the event that a driver on the pick sheet doesn't participate in that truck, players will receive the points from whoever the driver is in that truck for that race. You're picking the truck, not the driver.*

Each player will be allowed three (3) provisionals during the regular season. If picks are not submitted before the deadline, a player's picks from the previous race will be rolled-over to the next race, and they will earn:

1st Provisional: 100% of the points earned by previous race's drivers (not cars, so if it is a different driver in a car, you will receive zero points). Any wins by a player using a provisional will not make a player eligible for the playoffs. They must still win another race or earn their way in by points to be eligible.

2nd Provisional: 50% of the points earned by previous race's drivers (not car).

3rd Provisional: 25% of the points earned by previous race's drivers (not car).

*players will NOT earn playoff points when using a provisional*

Provisionals may only be used during the regular season. No provisionals will be granted during the playoffs, if players fail to submit picks, they will receive 0 points and a DNS (did not start).

If a player has two or more provisionals during the regular season, they must qualify for the playoffs by points (any wins become ineligible).

If a player misses picks two races in a row, they will not earn points for the race (but still use one of their allowed provisionals), resulting in zero points for that race and a DNS (did not start).

After three provisionals are used, and failure to submit picks for a fourth time, the player will be removed from the league.

Determining a race Winner: Each player will choose 5 drivers per race. Your 5 diver's points plus your manufacturer choice points added up will be your "Race Points". The player with the highest amount of race points is that week's race.

Determining a Season Champion: The first 15 races of the season will be the "regular season", followed by 3 playoff rounds comprised of 7 races. At the end of each race, the winner will receive 50 points, and then second through 45th will be awarded points on a 45-to-2 scale. Those finishing 46th to 50th will be awarded one point, and anyone below 50th will receive 0 points for the race.

Players will carry bonus points - called "playoff points" - throughout the entire playoffs (instead of just the first round) when the points get reset at playoff time. Players will earn five playoff points for every race win and will earn a playoff point for any segment the drivers they choose win throughout the season.
The top-10 players in the standings at the conclusion of the regular season also earn additional playoff points on a 15-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 scale. Players will continue to accumulate points throughout the playoffs and carry all of the points earned during the year into each of the first three playoff rounds.
Qualifying for the playoffs remains the same - the regular-season champion plus 13 players based on wins with ties broken by points will get into the playoffs, as long as they are in the top 25 in the standings.
The playoffs will remain divided into two three-race rounds with five players eliminated after each round to set up four finalists for the season finale at Phoenix Raceway. Players automatically qualify into the next round with a win in that playoff round, and the remaining spots filled by the point standings. At Phoenix, the top-finishing player among the four finalists at the end of the race wins the Victory Lane Racing Craftsman Truck Series Championship!

There will be segments during each Truck Series race that will help players earn "playoff points". These playoff points will be accumulated throughout the regular season, and each playoff point will be added to each player's reset total following race No. 15, if that competitor makes the playoffs.

Playoff points can be earned three ways:

1. Players will earn any playoff points earned by their drivers in the first two segments of each race. Example: A driver you chose wins the first and second segment of the race, you will earn two (2) playoff points. Players will not earn the 5 playoff points if a driver they chose wins the overall race.

2. A player that wins a Victory Lane Racing Camping World Truck Series race will earn 5 playoff points per win.

3. At the end of the regular season, the top 10 players in the point standings will receive playoff points, with the regular season champion earning 15 playoff points that will be added to the driver's playoff reset. Second place receives 10 playoff points, third place will earn 8 points, fourth place will receive 7 points, and so on. All playoff points will carry through to the end of the Round of 9.

In a Race: If there is a tie in a race, the player's choice of a race winner will be their tie breaker. Whoever's driver finishes highest, wins that tie. If the drivers who tied have the same race winner, the player highest in points entering the race wins the tie.

*For the first race of each season, the points will revert back to the final season standings from the previous season*

In the points (at the end of the season): If there is a tie in the point standings, the player with the most wins will win the tie. If the two players are tied with wins, it will go top 5's, top 10's and if all else fails, whoever was highest in points the previous race.

In the points during the playoffs: If there is a tie in the point standings between two playoff drivers at the cutoff of a three race playoff round, the tie will be broken by the tied player's best finishing position in the races during that playoff round. Example: Player 1 finishes 6th, 34th and 40th in the three races, and Player 2 finished 7th, 33rd and 39th in the three races... Player 1 wins with a best finish of 6th.
