Same as last year, Yahoo free league. This year, you will automatically drop your lowest score in each round.

Thanks for setting this up mate. 👍

 

[Adamgp]

I'm in.

Thanks for starting this up again. 👍

The method I used last year started very well. Might go for it again this year.

 

[MustangRyan]

All four bench drivers finished higher than my four starters. It's going to be another great year.

Forgot to update my lineup this week, so I'm stuck with my Atlanta picks. Let's see how that works out.

 

[MustangRyan]

We're nine races in, so some of you need to update your lineups!

 

[MustangRyan]

I'm guessing that 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 12th will never hold.

 

[MustangRyan]

Say hello to the drop week.

 

[Adamgp]

Forgetting to update my picksr after Talladega actually paid off this week.

Fell apart in the playoffs to finish 2nd. No repeat for "snake"

 

[Adamgp]

Managed to place 3rd overall despite a disastrous playoffs.

I started out a little rough, but finished inside the top 1000 players for the full season standings, where dropped weeks don't exist. I'll take that!

Would you guys like to look at running this through a different service next season? The Yahoo points system just seems so out of touch with the current way NASCAR calculates the point standings.

As of now, Yahoo gives points for leading a lap and leading the most laps, but doesn't give any stage points. All of that contradicts the real standings calculations from NASCAR. I would like to find a system that more accurately equates success in fantasy with success in the series, if possible.

Thats up to you. You're the commish. If there are better options, I'm still in for the season. Just wish we could get more people involved and they would finish a full season

 

[yellosnake]

It wont be with yahoo. Got an email saying they are discontinuing NASCAR

 

[MustangRyan]

Yup.




Dear Yahoo Sports Fantasy Auto Racing user,


We wanted to let you know that Yahoo Sports Fantasy Auto Racing will be discontinued and will no longer be available for the upcoming auto racing season. Your auto racing historical standings will still be viewable in your profile.

As we continue to innovate and grow Yahoo Fantasy Sports, part of that is consolidation of some of our offerings. If you would like to continue playing fantasy racing, we recommend Nascar's fantasy games.

We thank you for being a fan and loyal user, and we hope that you continue to enjoy the rest of Yahoo Fantasy Sports games.

Sincerely,
Yahoo Fantasy Sports
