Tie Breaking Procedures
Weekly Prizes - In the event that teams are tied for weekly prizes, the ties will be broken by comparing each team’s top scoring driver for the race just completed. If the tie is still not broken, this process continues with the second top scoring driver and so forth down the team until the tie is broken. If the tied teams have the exact same scores for all 8 of their drivers then their total year-to-date race points will be used to break the tie. If the teams are still tied after this, then the team with the highest current balance in his/her cash account will win. In the event that a tie still remains, the prize money will be divided evenly among those who have tied.
Overall / League Prizes - In the event that teams are tied for overall and/or league prizes at the end of the Contest, the ties will be broken using the same method as for ties with weekly prizes and by using the final race results.
Cash prizes are awarded in U.S. dollars. In the event that a league does not contain 25 teams, prizes may be pro-rated.
