FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question:
I am having problems making my selections over the Internet - what should
I do?
Answer:
The single biggest reason people have difficulty over the Internet is due
to outdated software. Our web site is very cutting edge in its technology
and in order to take advantage of the improvements you have to be sure
you are using the most current versions of the available browsers (Internet
Explorer, Netscape, and AOL versions for Windows). The second
thing to look at is whether you are accepting "cookies". A cookie is a
piece of information that the web site stores on your computer for future
reference. Once you have entered your ID and password into the login screens,
the info is stored as a cookie in your machine for use in the following
pages. If you are not accepting the cookie, the following pages can't find
the information they are looking for, which will then force you back to
the login screen. To remedy this, go into your browser's options and make
sure the option for accepting cookies in enabled, then restart your machine.
If this still does not fix the problem, please contact your tech support
people at your Internet Service Provider.
Question:
What happens if I cannot access your website?
Answer:
This would be rare. We have a system in place that if there is a problem
on the internet, our database is accessible through alternate hubs and
routers. In the event that there is a major problem somewhere on the net,
you will need to either 1) call the main office at 303-683-8896, or 2)
email us (info@FantasyRacingOnline.com) and we will assist you.
Question:
What happens if I want to play in one of your SERIES contests but I didn't realize I wanted to until after the first race already started?
Answer:
You're in luck! We have a new series every month. After the registration period ends, you can sign up for the next one at that time.
Question:
Do you have something in place where I can compete against my friends,
family or workmates?
Answer:
Yes, you will find a feature called "team tracking" available through our
contest pages that offers this option. This would be after login.
Question:
What happens if I cannot select my drivers for a given race?
Answer:
Although it is recommended that players have access to the internet during
the season, we have a viable solution for players that fall into this category.
We have built a "Auto Insurance Option" that allows us to make your driver
selections in your absence. There is a nominal cost for this feature.
Question:
How long have you been running your Fantasy Racing Online Challenge? Answer:
We are in our 5th season.
Question:
Your entry fee of $14.99 seems high, how did you arrive at this fee?
Answer:
Let us answer this in two parts: 1) we have researched the competition
and found that our entry fee is well below industry average. The prizes
are more attainable and the reliability and service is outstanding, 2)
the $14.99 covers the whole month, this is less than $4.00 PER RACE. If you play more than one team, the price per race is significantly reduced ($9.99 each for 2 or more entries). Each
series is a new contest and if we meet our minimum number requirement, there is $2,500 to the Top X places.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You can save $5.00 off each entry by playing more than one team.
Question:
What is the "Auto Insurance Option"?
Answer:
The Auto Insurance option works like this: Our program will pick your 5
drivers staying within the $1,000,000 salary cap. This option insures that
your keep yourself in the running for the whole series.
You will receive 2 drivers that are ranked (1-5), 2 drivers ranked (6-20)
and 1 driver ranked higher than 20.
Question:
Do I have to select a new set of 5 drivers each race?
Answer:
Yes, each week you will be required to select a new team of 5 drivers. These 5 drivers can be the same five (if the salaries are still within the salary cap) or you may pick new drivers. But, it is required that you re-submit a new driver lineup. They are not carried forward. This is an interactive contest which requires participation. However, if you think there will
be races where it might be hard to make your selections, the "Auto Insurance
Option" is a nice option. There is a nominal cost for this service.
Question:
How do I see how I compare to the rest of the players?
Answer:
Our contest pages (after login) is quite extensive. We have virtually any
status you would need to enhance your experience. We have many features
that other contests do NOT have. You will be quite impressed!
Question:
Can I enter more than once?
Answer:
Absolutely! In fact we encourage it. There are no restrictions on how many
entries you can have. You can increase your chances of winning prizes dramatically by entering multiple teams. Plus we offer a nice discount
for "multiple entries".
Question:
Do your Driver Salaries change?
Answer:
Yes, but only occassionally. Dollar Values are roughly based on Winston
Cup Standings and are periodically updated throughout the season. They
will only be updated prior to a new race - never after players begin selecting
their drivers.
Question:
Is there a lot of ties, if so, how are they broken?
Answer:
This was one of our enhancements. There will NEVER be a tie! Our TIEBREAKER
is as follows: 1. Closest to the Actual number of "Lead Changes" during
the Race. 2. Closest to the Actual number of "Cautions" during the
Race. 3. Whoever picked first (or the actual time your final
list of drivers was compiled). Number 3 assures that there will never be
ties!

Question:
I noticed you have a BONUS PRIZE contest, how does this work?
Answer:
This is something that we introduced in 2002 and it was a big hit! No one did win but it added a lot of excitement and some did get close. The prize is
$100,000 if someone picks the Top 5 (in any order) for EACH race during the series competitions. To win, your selections MUST score 340 points in each race. See The Bonus Prize page for complete details.
