FAQs


If you are unable to find the answer to your question on this page, please contact us at support@greenflagracing.com.


Q. I'm new to this Fantasy Racing stuff and need some help setting up my league. Where can I get more info about the application?

A.
We've made the Users Manual available on our website. To view it, click on gfrCup. The manual provides more detail about the application, including a section that offers suggestions for setting up your league.  Note: The Users Manual is included when you download the Demo.


Q. Does the price include all of the downloadable results files?

A.
Yes. When you purchase the full license for gfrCup, you also get the downloadable Results Files for the entire season.


Q. The installation does not complete successfully. What should I do?

A.
First, make sure that you have selected Save File to Disk at the download prompt. Also, it's possible that another EXE file is being called by the installation program. Clear all of the files in the Temp folder or place the download in a folder by itself prior to starting the installation. Lastly, you can try using the alternate download file, which is packaged using the MSI format and should remedy most installation issues. There is a link to the MSI file on the Demo page -- right below the spinning car.


Q. Even though I've established a connection to the Internet, the program displays an error message stating that it could not make a connection. How do I import the Results Files and Roster Update Files?

A.
We have had a few reports of this problem. At this point it seems to be primarily among users of newer versions of AOL software. We have not yet been able to determine why the AOL software inhibits the program's ability to recognize the connection. Visit the appropriate gfrCup Results page to manually download the file. Follow the instructions for downloading and importing the file. Make sure that the settings on your computer are NOT set to 'auto-unzip' files with a .ZIP extension.


Q. I have the 'Adjust Salaries' box checked, but the salaries are not changing. Why?

A.
Driver salaries will not be adjusted until after the 3rd race (The only exception applies to a driver that fails to qualify for a race. A driver that fails to qualify will automatically have $1 subtracted from his salary for the next race, even if it is prior to the 3rd race). In general, we believe that it is not appropriate to adjust salaries based on only 1 or 2 races. Once you import the Official Results File for the 3rd race and carry your lineups forward, Race #4 reports will display adjusted salaries. After that, salaries will be reviewed and adjusted after every race. Keep in mind, salaries will not be adjusted more than $1 up or down per race. Also, salaries are adjusted based on a driver's (or car's) performance over all previous races. Therefore, it is possible for a driver's salary to actually go down after having an excellent race. Likewise, a driver's salary could increase after having a terrible race because the salaries are based on average points per race.


Q. Can GFR manage a fantasy Busch or other fantasy racing league?

A.
No -- We do not offer GFR for other race series.


Q. I think that I've found a bug. What do I do?

A.
First, visit the Patches & Support page for the most recent patch and the bugs that it fixes. If the patch doesn't fix your problem, contact us at support@greenflagracing.com.


Q. How do I check to see which version that I'm using?

A.
Run the program and select About from the Help pull-down on the Main Menu screen. The version will be displayed as something like 2004.1.1 (2004 Edition, Version 1.1).


Q. When are the results files for each race available?

A.
We typically post the unofficial Results Files within a few hours after the completion of the race. The official Results Files are posted once the finishing order and points are deemed official by NASCAR (typically NLT Monday evening).
