Do you think we need to make any changes to the NAMG Fantasy cup series? Points system, pick time, multiple drivers, or anything else?

Um, Yes indeed. I really Think the pentaly rules should be more concreat. Pick who ever you wan't. People like me and chip. who will pick one driver majority of the time. just try it for a year. because, change is good. but, if anything it all needs to be more concreat

Concreat? Do you mean concrete? As in more well defined? What do you mean by the Penalty rules should be more well defined? They seem simple to me:

If your driver gets a penalty, you get the penalty. However many points NASCAR docks your driver.
If you start flaming people in here, you get a 50 penalty per offensive post.
If you start chit-chatting in the pick thread, you get a 5 point penalty.
If you change your valid pick, you get a penalty. I'm not sure what that is since it's never happened. Note, invalid picks don't count for this.

I think that's all of them...

We should not be changing it so certain people can just pick there favorite driver, that is not what this is about, although anyone can pick who they want, I am NOT a fan of picking the same driver every week. We all need to variate it each week. I will pick who I want regardless of who will want pick that driver every race.

No cause even I don't want to pick Jimmie Johnson every race and I also know I'm not going to GET Jimmie Johnson every week. I'll pick a driver who I think do well for me. Boltz your favorite driver is Kyle Busch. Kyle Busch is a bit of a sought after pick because of how good he is as a driver. You might as well accept the fact that you aren't going to get to pick him all 36 races, and if he is doing REALLY good, you might not even get him for half those races.

This is not for the changes to the rules..but if we will ever move the NAMG over to a side series like for the trucks or Nationwide? a lil pre-race show wouldn't be too bad..

same here, my favorite driver is jeff gordon, and i dont complain when he gets picked because i know he is a great driver and is normally picked on a weekly basis. course i could pick joey logano every week but i wanna pick the driver that is best for the track, not based on personal preference.

Here's a simple solution that isn't complicated for multiple driver picks.
Give a 30 point deduction for 2nd person to pick same driver
50 point deduction for 3rd person who picks the same driver

Example:
Martinsville
Person 1: Jimmie Johnson 1st - 195
Person 2: Jimmie Johnson 1st - 195-30=165
Person 3: Jimmie Johnson 1st - 195-50=145

Note: For stats purposes only first pick gets the win. Other two only get top 5's for johnson's win because they weren't first. I doubt anybody would pick the same driver more than 3 times for a given race. I think it's a great solution that's not overly complicated and reasonable. I would call it the Johnson rule.

The more I think about it.. the more off opinions we seem to be accumulating with all the thought we are putting into this. Everything has been good yes, but I think..

We could be able to pick 2 drivers for a race and we cannot pick the two same drivers as anyone else and just add the points for both of them?

what if johnson finishes last 34 pts - 50 pts = -16 pts? the person who picked him cannot get negative points.. in that case the second pick should get 10 less and third get 20. But with doing that you must be very motivated that your pick will be good.

Picking more than one driver, and taking points for picking the same driver just gets too complicated. I really think we should keep it simple, pick one driver each, and continue to use Sprint Cup points accumulated by drivers in races. If we start throwing in a lot of rules for picking drivers, it would start to get confusing to new people who might want to join us, and it would mean a lot more math, meaning the possibility for a lot more mistakes.

Really the only rule change I wanna see is that we move the pick time to 9 pm eastern time on thursdays for next season so we can take into account practice times, and possibly qualifying.

Would anyone be opposed to me taking care of rule violations and enforcing them again next season?
