"50-50" refers to the split between the prize payout and the donation to Brian's Wish. Each pick costs $10, so $10 times 33 drivers is $330. Prize payouts total $165, and donation to Brian's Wish is $165.

The person who has picked the winner is paid $100.
The person who has picked the second place finisher is paid $35
The person who has picked the third place finisher is paid $20
The person who has picked the last finisher is paid $10

A "pick" is a randomly selected driver from the available drivers in the pool that have not been picked yet. Each pool will have 33 unique "picks" or "drivers" available to be handed out to people who enter the pool.

We are utilizing PayPal for the collection of the pool donation ($10). Once your PayPal transaction has been approved, your pick will be randomly assigned from the current open pool and the name of your driver will be emailed to the email address that you used in your transaction. Press the Donate button now to enter!

This is NOT a problem! PayPal will process your transaction without having a PayPal account as long as you use any major credit card. Simply look for the area that says "Don't have a PayPal Account?" after pressing the Donate button.

We have fully automated this, and you should receive the pick in your email within 30 minutes of your transaction being approved. Please note that you should receive 1 email from PayPal about your transaction, and a separate email from us telling you what your pick is. In the event that your spam filtering doesn't allow our message through, you will be able to see your pick online here on our website after it has been processed. Please allow up to 30 minutes after the transaction being approved to have your pick be made.

A new pool will be opened automatically as one fills up (33 picks). You can see the number of full pools as well as the status of the current pool on our website.

There will be 1 set of prize payouts per pool, so there will be many winners!

If you are at the race and want your prize payout immediately, please stop by the Camp and Brew compound for your payout. Otherwise, the winners will be contacted within a few days after the race and we will make arrangements to make the payout. If the winner has PayPal we can make the prize payout with PayPal, otherwise we will send a check by US mail. We appreciate your patience of "a few days" after the race as we have to pack up, get home, and get settled a bit. If you wish to contact us about your prize payout, please fill out one of our Contact forms and include your name, email, pool number, and winning driver.

If we were physically running the pool, all the drivers would be in a hat and a blind draw would be done. You wouldn't be allowed to see what's "left" in the hat, and this is why the currently open pool is not show until it is full.

Certainly! We will accept $10 cash at Camp and Brew to enter you in the pool. We will utilize our Internet connection to enter you in the pool. You will receive your driver pick, immediately. The pool that you are entered in, is the same as what is being hosted on this website.

Absolutely, you will get one pick per successful PayPal transaction. Simply go through the Donate process twice.

Camp and Brew will fully fund the prizes in an open pool even if it is not full by the start of the race.

We will honor any transactions made up until the start of the race--including any rain delay prior to the actual start of the race. If you make a pick after the start of the race, we will contact you about a refund.

At the end of the PayPal transaction there is a place where the person could enter a "Name to use for pool listing". Unfortunately, there is no way to make this a required field. If this was not filled in, we display it generically as a PayPal transaction so that we protect the privacy of the individual in the event that they didn't want their real name displayed on our website.

Great question! Prior to the qualifying field being set, all picks will look like this: "Driver in qualifying position X". Where X is 1 to 33. At the completion of qualifying, and after any post-qualification penalties are issued, the "official" field will be set, and we will appropriately change everyone's picks from "Driver in qualifying position X" to their corresponding name. This change will be done right after the final day of qualification. If a Carb Day practice (or other event) causes a car to be put to the end of the field, this will NOT modify the pool assignments--they will remain from the posted field right after the final day of qualification.
