NASCAR Chase for the Cup Challenge (2019) The regular season is over in NASCAR, and we have a field of 16 drivers who are heading to the playoffs, a 10-race playoff for the championship, which will be decided at Homestead-Miami in November. This is your chance to predict the future, and figure out who will win the championship. The playoffs made up of 16 drivers, 4 of whom will be eliminated after every three races. This will lead to a 1-race shootout for the championship at Homestead, as seen below:
What's the Idea? Your task is to predict which drivers will advance to each round. But NASCAR can be unpredictable.... So you have a choice: You can pick round-by-round, or, select all of your picks at once (and be awarded a points multiplier).
Past Winners 2014 - Cole Fainter 2015 - Sean Storteboom 2016 - Pedro Freire 2017 - Jukka Sireni
Scoring For every driver you successfully pick into the.... Round of 12: 3 points. Round of 8: 5 points. Round of 4: 10 points. Championship: 20 points.
If you choose the "all at once" option, you will receive a 15% bonus to your score.
How to enter? PM me either a full entry, or an entry for the Round of 12 only using the template below. If you do an all-at-once entry, your entry must be consistent... that is, you cannot have an eliminated driver reappear in a later round.
The deadline will be before the first race of the playoffs (September 16, 1:00 CET)

Hi Felipe! This is different & separate from the OBS challenge, and you will have to reuse drivers! Of the 16 eligible, you must select 12 to advance to the round of 12 -- then from those 12, you select 8 to advance to the round of 8, etc. This continues all the way down until you have selected 1 driver as your champion.

Still quite tight after two eliminations. Perhaps next round will bring more swings.

Standings before the Championship Race Name Type Pts Alex Martez Round 108 Mikko Suhonen Round 105 Stuart Aspey All 103.5 Greg Tierney All 103.5 Alan Snyder Round 95 Felipe Bello Round 95 Sean Storteboom Round 95 Vin Struder All 94.3 Jaelan Smith Round 33 Frank Stocco Round 30
With a correct champion pick worth 20 pts (23 pts for those with a bonus) -- the title is still theoretically up for grabs between all of the active players! I'm pretty sure this is the first time in doing this challenge that this is the case, so it'll be interesting to see how things might shake out, especially with the four drivers left in the playoffs!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you with Round-by-Round, your championship pick is due via PM by November 17th, 21:00 CET! (start of the Miami race).

Well, lol at me not remembering that I would have been able to see Greg's pick here above, and picking the same myself, as it thus was the only known pick that 100% guarantees no win :D
Still, a close one with the quartet going 1st-2nd-3rd-5th.

Correct Tiebreaker was 37 (Ky. Busch @ Charlotte Roval)
Hanging around at the back of the pack for most of the challenge, Vin's pre-playoffs prediction of Kyle Busch as champion is spot on, catapulting him to the front and making him the 2019 NASCAR Playoff Challenge Champion! Congratulations Vin!!

Congrats, Vin Struder!
I had Denny Hamlin, who looked like the race winner until they put a square foot of tape on the grill and overheated the car. SMH!
Thanks for the Silly Game, Greg!
