11. Rules on weekly questions and points awarded
(a) Questions will be posted on Fridays prior to regularly scheduled Sprint Cup points races. Answer deadline is at the scheduled start time of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Race for that weekend. Points are awarded based on the order in which correct answers are received.
(b) One answer submitted per week per player, only first answer counts.
(c) Points are awarded each week based on NASCAR's points system (i.e. The first person submitting an answer correctly gets 180 base points, second person 170, etc.). If there are less than 43 people answering correctly on a given week, then 1st place gets 10 bonus points. If less than 43 people answer correctly in a given week, then incorrect answers will receive points based on the bottom of the point system chart. For example, if 3 contestants got the question wrong in a given week, they would receive 40, 37 and 34 points respectively based on who answered first. Contestants not answering will get no points in that week.
(d) If more than 43 people get the answer correct, those contestants answering correctly but beyond 43rd place will still get last place points (currently 34). All are still eligible for the 10 bonus points for guessing the week's race winner (see below)
(e) Contestants can guess on the winning car number for each week's Sprint Cup race. Guess must be submitted while answering the week's question and part of the online submission form (or email). All contestants guessing the correct winner for that week will be given 10 additional "bonus" points.
(f) At the end of week 26, the top 12 contestants points will be reset for a "Chase" to the finish utilizing the same method employed by the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
