Auto Racing: 2010 Full-Season Series

Overview

PTF's Full Season Series (the "Series") is a public, fantasy auto racing competition based upon the 36-week 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup season, beginning with the first race on February 14, 2010 and ending with the last race on November 21, 2010. You compete against all of the other entrants of the Series to earn the most points for the duration of the entire 36-week Series. Entrants that earn the most points during the Series earn prizes (as described below).



Entering the Competition

There is a one-time entry fee of $19.95 USD for each team you register to compete in the Series. There is no limit to the number of teams you may register to compete in the Series (subject to the payment of an additional entry fee for each team you register).

In order to compete in the Series, you must complete your entry and select your first weekly roster before the start of the fifth race of the Series on March 21, 2010. No entries WILL BE ALLOWED after the start of the fifth race of the series on march 21, 2010.



Selecting Rosters

Each week of the Series, you will start six drivers (each a "Driver" and, collectively, the "Drivers"), 2 Drivers from Group A, 2 Drivers from Group B, and 2 Drivers from Group C.

  • Group A consists of the top 12 Drivers in the final official standings for the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.
  • Group B consists of Drivers that finished 13th through 26th in the final official standings for the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.
  • Group C consists of the remaining Drivers competing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup event for the applicable week of the Series.

You may start a Driver a maximum of six times throughout the entire 36-week Series. Each Driver in your weekly Series roster may be added or dropped up until the start of a race during that week of the Series. If any Driver suffers a season-ending injury (including death), such Driver (i) will be removed from the applicable Group (i.e., will not be available to start in any future weeks of the Series) and (ii) will not be replaced by any other Driver from any other Group.

Each Driver on your weekly roster earns points based on their finishing order.

ALL DRIVER POINTS SHALL BE DEEMED FINAL (AND NOT SUBJECT TO CHANGE) AS OF TUESDAY AT MIDNIGHT IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE WEEK THAT THE POINTS WERE EARNED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER NASCAR MAKES ANY RULING OR DECISION THAT WOULD ALTER OR OTHERWISE AFFECT THE POINTS YOU WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN AWARDED.



Recalculating Points at End of First 26 Weeks of Series

At the end of the first 26 weeks of the Series, the points earned by each entrant during its four (4) lowest scoring weeks of the initial 26 weeks of the Series will be deleted and each entrant's total accumulated points for the Series will be recalculated without including the points accumulated during the four (4) weeks that have been deleted.

Series Prizes

THE WEEKLY SERIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2010 FULL SEASON SERIES IS OPEN ONLY TO ENTRANTS THAT PURCHASE THE 2010 FULL SEASON SERIES PRIOR TO THE START OF THE 5TH RACE OF THE SEASON (MARCH 21, 2010). REGISTRATION FOR THE FULL SEASON SERIES AND THE ASSOCIATED WEEKLY SERIES WILL CLOSE AT THE START OF THE 5TH RACE OF THE SEASON (MARCH 21, 2010).

Weekly Prizes: Each week of the Series, PTF shall award the following cash prizes to the entrants who accumulate the most total points during such week (each, a "Weekly Prize"):

FinishPrize (USD)
1st Place$500
2nd Place$150
3rd Place$100
4th Place$75
5th Place$50
6th Place$45
7th Place$35
8th Place$25
9th Place$20


If two or more entrants that win a Weekly Prize (each, a "Weekly Prize Winner") accumulate an identical one-week score, those Weekly Prize Winners will split the combined value of the Weekly Prize associated with their original finishing orders. For example, if two entrants tie for first and second place, the combined value of the Weekly Prizes for first and second place (e.g., $650) will be combined and divided evenly between the two Weekly Prize Winners.

Full-Season Series Prizes: In addition to the Weekly Prizes, PTF shall award the following cash prizes to the entrants who accumulate the most total points during the entire Series (each, a "Full-Season Series Prize"):

FinishPrize (USD)
1st Place$50,000
2nd Place$20,000
3rd Place$10,000
4th Place$5,500
5th Place$1,500
6th Place$1,000
7th Place$900
8th Place$800
9th Place$700
10th Place$600
11th - 20th Place$200
21st - 30th Place$100
31st - 40th Place$75
41st - 50th Place$50
51st - 100th Place$25


If two or more entrants that win a Full-Season Series Prize (each, a "Full Season Prize Winner" and, together with each Weekly Prize Winner, a "Prize Winner") accumulate an identical number of points at the end of the Series, those Full Season Prize Winners will split the combined value of the Full-Season Series Prizes associated with their original finishing orders. For example, if two Full Season Prize Winners tie for first and second place, the combined value of the Full-Season Series Prizes for first and second place (e.g., $70,000) will be combined and divided evenly between the two Full Season Prize Winners.
