Auto Racing: 2009 Weekly Shootout

Overview

PTF’s Weekly Shootout (the “Shootout”) is a public, fantasy auto racing competition based upon the final 29-weeks of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season, beginning with the eighth race on April 18, 2009 and ending with the last race on November 22, 2009. During each week of the Shootout, you compete against all of the other entrants of the Shootout to earn the most points for that particular week. Entrants that earn the most points during any week of the Shootout earn prizes (as described below).



Entering the Competition

There is a one-time entry fee of $19.95 USD for each team you register to compete in the Shootout. There is no limit to the number of teams you may register to compete in the Shootout (subject to the payment of an additional entry fee for each team you register).

In order to compete during the first week of the Shootout, you must complete your entry and select your first weekly roster before the start of the race on April 18, 2009. You may enter the Shootout at anytime after April 18, 2009 (but prior to the start of the race on November 22, 2009) to compete in any remaining weeks of the Shootout.



Selecting Rosters

Each week of the Shootout, 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 Shootout.

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

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.

If two or more entrants that win a Weekly Shootout Prize (each, a "Prize Winner") accumulate an identical one-week score, those Prize Winners will split the combined value of the Weekly Shootout Prizes associated with their original finishing orders. For example, if two entrants tie for first and second place, the combined value of the Weekly Shootout Prizes for first and second place (e.g., $750) will be combined and divided evenly between the two entrants.

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 Weekly Shootout Prize that is declined or undeliverable, or for any Weekly Shootout 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 Shootout rules and the Terms and Conditions of Use, all Weekly Shootout 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 week of the Shootout; 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 Weekly Shootout Prize to such Prize Winner does not violate any applicable law.

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