Using Nascar Pools Online : Scoring
We have several scoring methods set up as default options, and we also have a number of custom methods. Here’s an outline all of the different options that are currently available. New methods will be added once they’ve been used for a full season.
1. Standard Points
Uses the Nascar Championship points scoring system. Can choose whether or not to count penalties. Highest score wins. Only points earned for racing are included. The Chase reset does not get added for your drivers.
2. Standard Points – Drop Lowest
Uses the Standard Points method, and the lowest score for that race is dropped. Can choose whether or not to count penalties. If counting penalties, the lowest score after the penalty is applied is dropped. Highest score wins.
3. Standard Points – Modified
Uses the Standard Points method for all cars/drivers making the field, and awards 29 points to all cars/drivers that do not. Highest score wins.
4. Finish
Your points for the race include the finishing position of the car/driver. If your car/driver finishes 1st, you get one point, and if they finish 30th, 30 points, etc. If your car/driver doesn’t make the field for whatever reason, they get 75 points. There are 2 bonuses awarded, one for the pole if qualifying is contested (-10 pts) and one for the most laps led in the race (-5 pts). Lowest score wins.
5. Top 10
Points are only awarded to the top 10 finishers of the race. If your car/driver finishes 1st, you get 10 points, 2nd, 9 pts and so on down to 10th place which receives 1 point. All others are awarded no points. Highest score wins.
6. Redline (Custom)
The Redline scoring method is a variation on the Finish method. Points are still awarded by the finish position, but a laps led bonus is -1 point, with winning the pole (whether quals are contested or not) also being worth -1 point. The race winning car/driver is also awarded a -2 point bonus. All cars/drivers not participating in the race for whatever reason receive 44 points. There is a Chase reset in this method and should really only be used for the Redline pool since the reset it limited to a specific number of teams. Lowest score wins.
7. Capper (Custom)
The Capper scoring method is a variation on the Top 10 method. Instead of the top 10 receiving points, it is now the top 15, from 15 points for first, down to 1 point for 15th. Winning the pole is also a 5 point bonus. Highest score wins.
8. Riverton (Custom)
The Riverton scoring method is similar to the Top 10 method, except points are awarded to all cars/drivers in a race. The first place car/driver gets 45 points, 2nd place, 44 points and so on, down to 3 points for 43rd. There is a 5 point bonus for leading the most laps, as well as a 5 point bonus for winning a pole (if qualifying is contested – except the Daytona 500). Highest score wins.
If you have a scoring method you want to use for your league, send us a message, and we’ll try to incorporate it. We started with only the 3 basic methods (Standard, Finish & Top 10) and have worked with other leagues to make their method work as well.
