Welcome back to the pool! Two weeks ago we had 16 entries (joke about Champ Car not inserted here), but smuff76 managed to pull away from them all, nearly taking perfect picks and ending up with 130 points. Behind him, only two other pickers broke the 100-point barrier, a mark which seems to indicate a fairly good score. Before you start picking again, it would probably be a good idea to review the rules...

1. I will divide the ICS field into four groups, ordered (from best to worst) A, B, C, and D. These groups will be determined by a combination of points, subjective observations, questionable analysis, shaky conclusions, and random guessing. They may (and will) change throughout the season as drivers do, but I will not attempt to separate oval and road course performance and groups.
2. Everyone who wants to play must select one driver per group per race (well, you don't have to do every race, or every group for that matter, but both are highly recommended!). The only restriction is that you cannot choose the same driver for two consecutive races. This applies even if I switch the groups around and you end up quite restricted in one group. This does not apply in regards to Surfer's Paradise and the first race of 2009.
3. Points are quite simple: your points are the same as the combined ICS points for all four of your drivers. Highest at the end of the season wins... something
4. Picks are due when qualifying starts. This goes for Indy too. Also note that, for Indy, there will likely be a Group E consisting of any Indy-only entries.
5. Rules are subject to change without notice!

Note the bolded section. If you can't remember what your picks were for last week, you can find them (as well as more information about the pool) at the official website, http://students.cec.wustl.edu/~bpd1/ICSPool.html. As I post this topic the groups have not changed: there are no new entrants, and I don't want to make any hasty changes after just one race, especially given the number of retirements. Anyway, here are the current pools-if anything changes, it will be noted here...
