SPEED TV Forums Indycar Pool 2009
This is the home page for the SPEED TV Forums Indycar Pool. This page is run by bduddy, creator of the pool(or, as some have called me, the pool boy). Note that all relevant info will also be posted in a weekly topic on the boards, but having a website is nice too.
(Note: Please go easy on me-this is literally the first webpage I've ever made!)
Rules
- I will divide the ICS field into four groups, ordered (from best to worst) A, B, C, and D (and E and F for Indianapolis only). These groups will be determined by a combination of points, subjective observations, questionable analysis, shaky conclusions, and random guessing. They may (and will) change throughout the season as drivers do, but I will not attempt to separate oval and road course performance and groups.
- Everyone who wants to play must select one driver per group per race (well, you don't have to do every race, or every group for that matter, but both are highly recommended!). The only restriction is that you cannot choose the same driver for two consecutive races. This applies even if I switch the groups around and you end up quite restricted in one group.
- Points are quite simple: your points are the same as the combined ICS points for all four of your drivers. Highest at the end of the season wins... something
- Picks are due when qualifying starts. However, each competitor may, once during the season, submit their picks late (any time before the start of the pace laps). This will be tracked and reported here.
- Rules are subject to change without notice!
