Auto Racing: 2009 Full Season Series

Overview

PTF’s Full Season Series (the “Series”) is a public, fantasy auto racing competition based upon the 36-week NASCAR Sprint Cup season, beginning with the first race on February 15, 2009 and ending with the last race on November 22, 2009. You compete against all of the other entrants of the Series to earn the most points for the duration of the entire 36-week Series. Entrants that earn the most points during the Series earn prizes (as described below).

Each Entrant in the full season competition is automatically entered in the weekly series as well.

Entering the Competition

There is a one-time entry fee of $49.95 USD for each team you register to compete in the Series. There is no limit to the number of teams you may register to compete in the Series (subject to the payment of an additional entry fee for each team you register).

In order to compete in the Series, you must complete your entry and select your first weekly roster before the start of the fifth race of the Series on March 22, 2009. NO ENTRIES WILL BE ALLOWED AFTER THE START OF THE FIFTH RACE OF THE SERIES ON MARCH 22, 2009.

Selecting Rosters

Each week of the Series, you will start six drivers (each a “Driver” and, collectively, the “Drivers”), 2 Drivers from Group A, 2 Drivers from Group B, and 2 Drivers from Group C.

Group A consists of the top 12 Drivers in the final official standings for the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.
Group B consists of Drivers that finished 13th through 28th in the final official standings for the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.
Group C consists of the remaining Drivers competing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup event for the applicable week of the Series.

You may start a Driver a maximum of six times throughout the entire 36-week Series. Each Driver in your weekly Series roster may be added or dropped up until the start of a race during that week of the Series.

ALL DRIVER POINTS SHALL BE DEEMED FINAL (AND NOT SUBJECT TO CHANGE) AS OF TUESDAY AT MIDNIGHT IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE WEEK THAT THE POINTS WERE EARNED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE MAKES ANY RULING OR DECISION THAT WOULD ALTER OR OTHERWISE AFFECT THE POINTS YOU WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN AWARDED.

Recalculating Points at End of First 26 Weeks of Series

At the end of the first 26 weeks of the Series, the points earned by each entrant during its four (4) lowest scoring weeks of the initial 26 weeks of the Series will be deleted and each entrant’s total accumulated points for the Series will be recalculated without including the points accumulated during the four (4) weeks that have been deleted.

Awarding Prizes

If two or more entrants that win a Full-Season Series Prize (each, a "Prize Winner") accumulate an identical number of points at the end of the Series, those Prize Winners will split the combined value of the Full-Season Series Prizes associated with their original finishing orders. For example, if two Prize Winners tie for first and second place, the combined value of the Full-Season Series Prizes for first and second place (e.g., $95,000) will be combined and divided evenly between the two Prize Winners.

Each Prize Winner shall be notified by e-mail (or via U.S. mail, if applicable) at the e-mail or regular mail address supplied by such Prize Winner to PTF, and such Prize Winner will have fifteen (15) days from the date such notification was sent to respond by following the instructions provided in such notification. Each Prize Winner will be required to submit valid identification to PTF and to execute any release PTF deems necessary, including but not limited to, an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release and a publicity release (where permissible). Failure to comply with PTF's requirements may result in disqualification. PTF is not responsible for and shall not be liable for any Full-Season Series Prize that is declined or undeliverable, or for any Full-Season Series Prize or prize notification that is returned as undeliverable or if the Prize Winner fails to timely return the above mentioned documentation. In any of these situations the original Prize Winner will be disqualified.

Subject to the restrictions contained in these Series rules and the Terms and Conditions of Use, all Full-Season Series Prizes shall be delivered to each respective Prize Winner within the later to occur of: (i) ninety (90) days after the completion of the applicable Season or Series; and (ii) thirty (30) days after the respective Prize Winner has submitted its valid identification to PTF, executed any release PTF deems necessary, including but not limited to, an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release and a publicity release (where permissible), and PTF has otherwise verified that delivery of such Full-Season Series Prize to such Prize Winner does not violate any applicable law.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY STATED IN THESE OFFICIAL RULES, YOUR ELIGIBILITY TO WIN AND RECEIVE PRIZES IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE.
