Fantasy Chase 2016 entries now open

Annnnnnnnnnd we’re back! Welcome to the third edition of the Fantasy Chase game.

Once again, the game is completely FREE. There are no catches to this. The reason I’m doing this is because I enjoy competing with you guys and it’s fun to have something else to talk about on Twitter.

All you need to do is submit your picks with your Twitter name (which will be published weekly in the standings) and your email address (which will be kept private and only used to contact those who make the Fantasy Chase).

The winner gets bragging rights and a hand-me-down media gift at the end of the season (a Dale Call and a backpack have been the two prizes so far).

The rules this year are basically the same as last year except for a BIG TWIST you can read about below:

RULES:

  • When you submit your picks, you have to pick every available race. Once you press “submit” on your entry, that’s it for the regular season.
  • You can pick any driver (from a list of 2015 winners or “Other”) as many times as you like. If you want to pick Kevin Harvick every week, go ahead. If you pick “Other” and a non-2015 winner goes to victory lane, you get credit for a win.
  • You make the Fantasy Chase if you have five or more wins in the regular season. The format for the Fantasy Chase itself will be announced in September.

****!!!! BIG TWIST ALERT !!!!****

The big twist for this year is you do not have to submit your picks prior to the Daytona 500. You can submit your picks ANY TIME during the regular season.

This means if you want to wait until Las Vegas or even the Coke 600 to get an idea of who is running well, you can. However, the longer you wait, the more risk you take that you won’t reach five wins.

Remember, you get one entry and once you submit it, that’s it for the season. So time it wisely.

At some point on the day of each race, I’ll delete that week’s race from the entry form to ensure no one enters after the race has begun. So if you’re waiting to enter until a certain week, make sure you do it the day before the race at the latest.

Shoot me a tweet @jeff_gluck if you have any questions. Good luck!

  4. Thanks, Jeff, for doing all this. I appreciate reading your work in USA Today. (Even if I sometimes disagree with it.) I’ve never played a pick-em game, so why not give yours a shot? Stay safe in all your travels, and I’m grateful for the opportunity.

  5. Thanks for doing this Jeff. Had a blast last year and look forward to playing this year.

  6. Is there. Way to view your picks once you have submitted them? I probably should’ve screenshotted them…
