Each player will be allowed three (3) provisionals during the regular season. If picks are not submitted before the deadline, a player's picks from the previous race will be rolled-over to the next race, and they will earn:
1st Provisional: 100% of the points earned by previous race's drivers (not cars, so if it is a different driver in a car, you will receive zero points). Any wins by a player using a provisional will not make a player eligible for the playoffs. They must still win another race or earn their way in by points to be eligible.
2nd Provisional: 50% of the points earned by previous race's drivers (not car).
3rd Provisional: 25% of the points earned by previous race's drivers (not car).
*players will NOT earn playoff points when using a provisional*
Provisionals may only be used during the regular season. No provisionals will be granted during the playoffs, if players fail to submit picks, they will receive 0 points and a DNS (did not start).
If a player has two or more provisionals during the regular season, they must qualify for the playoffs by points (any wins become ineligible).
If a player misses picks two races in a row, they will not earn points for the race (but still use one of their allowed provisionals), resulting in zero points for that race and a DNS (did not start).
After three provisionals are used, and failure to submit picks for a fourth time, the player will be removed from the league.
