• NEW FOR 2012! Team Limit Doubled -- If your teams will carry five or less drivers, your league can consist of up to 400 teams. And, if your teams will cary six to ten drivers, your league can consist of up to 200 teams. So, recruit more teams!
  
  
• Import the Teams from Last Season's gfrCup League -- In the Franchise Info screen, you can now import all of the team information from your previous season's league (team names, owner info, password, etc). Simply select 'Import Teams' and then point to your gfrCup folder from last season ('C:\Program Files\gfrCup 2008 Edition\' if you accepted the defaults during installation). That should save you some typing!
  
• Use Custom HTML Headers and Footers for Reports -- When you create HTML reports, you can use your own custom HTML at the top and bottom of the report in order to match reports to your other web pages.
  
• Web-Based Lineup Entry -- gfrCup will create web pages before each race based on your leagues rules. Once you post the pages to your website, the team owners in your league will be able to log in with a password and submit their lineup via a webpage form. Lineups can be imported directly from the gfrCup server, eliminating the need to detach the lineup files from emails. To learn more, please visit our Web-Based Lineup Entry Tour page.
• Create Multiple Reports with the Report Wizard -- Set which reports you want to create at different times (e.g. before the lineup deadline, before qualifying, after qualifying, after the unofficial results have been posted, etc). Then, simply press a button and gfrCup will create all of the reports for you in one step. You can even create full season and/or season segment reports.
  
• Support for "Banked" Dollars -- Some leagues allow teams to carry payroll dollars that aren't used over to the next race. Then, a team will have additional dollars to spend on their lineup the following week. gfrCup supports "banking" of payroll dollars.
• Customize the Look of HTML Reports -- Commissioners can specify the font face and color on gfrCup's many HTML reports, as well as the page background color and row colors. This allows you to create reports that match the look and feel of your existing website.
• Manage a league consisting of up to 200 teams (yeah that's right, 200 teams!).
• Driver "Chase" Points -- Once the "Chase" races commence, you can download a results file that will apply the "chase" point adjustments for the top 10 drivers in the standings.
  
• Create Driver Groups -- Once you specify how many groups will be used and how many drivers will be available in each group, gfrCup will display reports so that your team owners can select a driver from each group. In addition, each time you import official results for each race gfrCup creates new groups for the next race based on your preferences.
• Downloadable Results -- Download results directly into gfrCup and let us worry about all the data entry. Other programs require you to enter the stats yourself. In that case you may as well use a spreadsheet to run your league!
• Customize the Points System -- Create your own custom points system, including the ability to specify points for every finishing and qualifying position individually. Then, set your reports to sort team points in either ascending or descending order.
• Completely re-designed interface makes it much easier to move teams between divisions, add teams and delete teams from your league.
• Support for multi-commissioners -- You can transfer your league data file between different computers much more easily.

Results Screen -- League results are based on the performance of actual NASCAR drivers in Nextel Cup Series events.  gfrCup offers two options for processing race results:

• Results Files -- Each week downloadable Results Files are available from the gfrCup website. Qualifying Results Files are available no later than the evening prior to each race. Unofficial Results Files are available shortly after the completion of each race. Official Results Files are posted within 12 hours of when NASCAR posts the official points for the race. Press a button in the Results screen to download the results and your league is automatically updated.
• Manual Entry -- Click on a driver, enter qualifying and finishing positions, check the appropriate boxes for laps led and gfrCup automatically calculates the points.
• Alerts During Results Downloads -- If NASCAR assesses a penalty or change after the official results have been posted, you'll get an alert message the next time you import results notifying you that a revised results file has been posted.
  

Reports Screen -- gfrCup provides you with all the reports you'll need to ensure that your franchise owners have the stats they demand to manage their race teams.  Many of the reports offer the option of displaying combined stats for all of your leagues.  Here's just a few:

• League Season Summary -- League standings and the scoring detail of each team for the most recent race.
• Draft Report -- Shows all drivers and their salaries.
• Rosters -- Each team's current roster, including driver's current race points and salary.
• Rankings -- Displays all drivers sorted by current total points. It shows all the important stats like starts, wins, top 5 and top 10 finishes, laps led info, salary and free agent status.
• Team Scoring Detail -- Breakdown of each team's scoring for the season, including average start and average finish.
• Team Information -- Team names, owners, phone numbers and e-mail addresses. A handy report to distribute to league participants at the beginning of the season.
• Starting Lineups -- Shows each team's starters for the upcoming race.
• Race Results -- Finishing results including position, points earned, laps led info, salary and free agent status.
• Transaction Log -- Distribute this report once a week so that franchise owners keep up with all the roster moves.
• Transaction Balances -- Keeps track of all transaction charges and displays current team balances
• Set Folders for Reports and Lineup Entry Pages -- In the Reports screen, you can set the folder on your computer where you want reports to be saved and the folder where the lineup entry pages should be saved. gfrCup will remember the folders, making it easy for you when you upload the files to your webserver.
  
• Race Schedule Report -- In addition to all of the race events, the Race Schedule report displays the team that scored the most points for each race. The team name and score are displayed at the far right of the report.
  
• Tracking of Lineup Changes -- If your league charges teams for lineup changes from race to race -- or if you simply need to keep track of how many changes each team makes throughout the course of the season -- you'll be glad to see that gfrCup tracks how many drivers are changed from the previous race when a team's lineup is imported. If you apply a transaction charge for changes, a charge for each driver change will appear in the Transaction Log and in the Team Balances report.
