After a long season with great competition...it all comes down to this!!!  The contest is fantastic, and it couldn't have been scripted better as there are not 1......not 2.....but 3 people tied going into the last week!!!!  Incredible!!!  I actually had to check scores to make sure this was right, but it is.  

So first off, congrats to Doggs for picking the winner and having the high score of the week with 90 points, and he has been on a roll recently pulling him in a three-way tie with Bertski and Goggles who have been leading the contest most of the year.  Not to be forgotten, Looselugs is not ready to give up his title of champion as he is right behind the leaders.  Madshooter has made a nice run during the Chase to pull within striking distance, so this is going to be a pretty awesome race.

Standings

Bertski 2198
Goggles 2198
Doggs 2198
Looselugs 2192
Madshooter 2168
Twofan 2119
Stats 2102
Alangrrbs 2084

The Chase contest is coming down to the wire as well.  Looselugs holds a slight league, but Stats, and Doggs are right behind.  Twofan and Madshooter are still alive, but will need some help.

CHASE STANDINGS

Looselugs 670
Stats 668
Doggs 664
Twofan 637
Madshooter 636
Goggles 610
Bertski 593
Alangrrbs 571

Alan thank you for running this contest. Hopefully  we do it again  next  year.
Regarding  the issue of not posting  on time (which I was guilty of) I have a suggestion.
If you don't  post on time you get the next available driver via starting grid that you haven't  used yet, both best from the top and worst from the bottom 
Or, just get a zero
Just s thought.

We will definitely do it again!  

Easily the biggest thing to figure out is if someone misses picks.  It can't be that you get a 0...it's too big of a penalty.  I've been tossing around some options, but they all have some difficulties.

1.  You get the equivalent of the lowest score that anyone had that week.  So if someone scored a 44...you get that.  The problem with that is, what if you've already used the drivers that the other person has.

2.  You get just a set score of 40.  The problem with that is what if someone gets lower than that...and you actually get a better score than someone and you don't use up any drivers.

3.  If you don't submit picks, you just get the highest ranked best driver you haven't used yet, or the lowest ranked worse driver.  The problem with that is if the best driver wins, and the worse driver does terrible and you end up with a monster week  and almost get rewarded for not putting picks in.

Here are the things to keep in mind to figure it out:  

1.  The person has to lose 2 drivers.
2.  The scoring can't give the person a higher score than anyone else that week.

The closest thing I've come to a good solution is this:

If someone doesn't submit their picks on time, they will receive the lowest score of the week.  But they will lose 2 drivers.  For the best driver, they will lose the highest nascar point scorer they haven't used yet...and for the worse driver they will lose the lowest nascar point scorer they haven't used yet.

I think there's something better out there, but it's still a work in progress.  Appreciate the input...keep in coming!

By the way, I have Doggs' trophy ready, and I'm sending it to him Monday.  It's a custom trophy that is perfect for a Nascar contest.  It's similar to the one Looselugs got for last years win.  I'm gonna ask Lugs to send me a picture of his, and I'll have some pics of this one, and I'll figure out a way to let everyone see pics of the trophies cause they are classic.  Lugs was super excited when he got his last year...I expect Doggs is gonna be pretty stoked when he gets his next week!
