Soultrain Queen Melethia Dagon Soultrain Queen Melethia Dagon Dark Minion1411 STARTING TUESDAY APRIL 28th Pick times will go back to 3am EASTERN TIME.. Kurokage is not at all able to pick at the 9pm time and it shows with the quality picks he is left with. I want to try and make it more even. I believe 9pm on tuesday is too late. It was midnight last year. I agree, we need to discuss this. This is the second time the opening time has changed since the season started, and it's only the 10th round of picking, counting the shootout. My thoughts: We've gotten awfully competitive with picking lately. The first four picks this week were within the first 11 minutes. The people who get to be on when selection opens have an advantage, and this issue is only going to get worse as more people join. Could you imagine picking late and having the 20th or worse pick? Maybe it's time we drop the first come, first serve rule, and allow people to pick the same driver as someone else? This would make the opening time irrelevant, letting people like Kurokage and WarriorGoddess have the same chance as one of us who picks in the first 11 minutes. Okay, I DO like this. Then we can just make it Midnight just like last season. It is getting too competitve and that is a good solution. We should just try and refrain from picking the same driver, but if we want to we could. I give this the thumbs up.

I give this the thumbs up.We could consider imposing a 5 point penalty to the person who picks the same driver as someone else. Say Triple picks Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the Gaia 500, then I pick him for that race. Dale Jr. wins and leads the most laps. Since Triple picked him first, he gets 195 points, while I get 190 points.

Sounds like a good idea 2 me That sounds like an ok idea. But if we did that, then we'd have to give the ten chase bonus points to the guy who picked the driver first, should that driver win, and nobody else. But at this point in the season, I don't think it would be a good idea to change the way we allow picks this season as it might make it more difficult for those who have fallen back by hundreds of points. Here's what I mean. Kurokage Sanada is 455 points behind Dark Minion. At this point in the season, if suddenly we were allowed to pick the same drivers as other people, if Dark Minion just copied Kurokage's picks, even with a 5 point penalty, it wouldn't really be fair because Dark Minion would already have a big enough lead to keep him behind him until the chase. I think if we want to change anything this season, maybe we could pick a different day to make our picks, and next year change how we make the picks. Personally I think thursday or friday would be a better time to make picks. Tuesday is too early in the week, and with the cars not even hitting the track by tuesday, really all we're doing is taking a stab at who will win. But as far as being allowed to pick the same drivers as other people, I think it's just too late in the season for it to be 100% fair.

Soultrain I usually pick Jr. for restrictor plate races, and he always seems to have trouble. Maybe I'm jinxing him. So... Jeff Gordon for Talladega!! At least I didn't Jinx Jr.!

It actually looked like to me, Kurt Busch was bumping gordon into the corner, shot him in there.. regardless it was a racing deal, but it was kenseths fault for the overall accident. Everyone does it.
