Atlas Shareholders 2014: Initial entries

Welcome to join season seven of Shareholders!

2014 season finale scoring bollocks won't affect the scoring in this game in any way, as here the average score in a round is by default normalized to be in the vicinity of 100,000 points.

2014: Backpack
As in 2013, there will be a single share representing the drivers of Marussia and Caterham due to expected lack of interest in them as singles. If these teams turn out to look competitive and interest gets big, a split up is thinkable down the road. No sooner than Spain though.

Previous Seasons' champions:
2008: an1res
2009: swiniodzik
2010: Grayson
2011: Grayson
2012: Grayson
2013: Costaz

Rules below; no change needed from last year coz I almost won it with these:

How to play the game
The players will be owning shares (100 each) of the drivers participating in the F1 WDC! When a driver scores points in an F1 race, each share owned in that driver will score points to the shareholders in question. The more shares there are owned in a driver, the lesser the return will be for each share. This means that it can be more profitable to own shares in a midfielder who scores just a few points but has proportionally few shares held on him than a frontrunner finishing on the podium.

Drivers are valued according to how much shares are invested in them:
-Frontrunning drivers get many shares and are expected to score often and highly, providing a steady points source but with little potential for real jackpots.
-Backmarkers get proportionally fewer shares and give a return less frequently, but when they do it they may be very rewarding as the dividends are shared by fewer shares.

Good "value for money" is investing in drivers that are undervalued, ie have disproportionally few shares invested in them compared to their actual points scoring potential.

Your entry will carry over from one race to the next, unless you decide to move a limited amount of the shares to a different driver. While this makes the game easy to play even for the laziest humanoids, it also makes it useful to know what shares you have at any given moment. If you don't pay attention, a previously good investment in a driver may become a bad deal if too many shares are added on him or if his form plummets.

Submitting an initial entry

The first time you play this game, you shall submit an entry where you place 100 shares among the drivers, fulfilling these conditions:
 
 * You may only hold 100 shares (or less, which doesn't help you) in total at a time.
 * You can not own fractions of a share, just integer shares.
 * You can place no more than 40 shares on any one driver.
 * You must own shares in at least three drivers.
 * You may not own shares in more than ten drivers.
 * You may edit your first entry as much as you like until the edit deadline (first free practice) for the coming race.

Note that there is no limit to the number of shares available for each driver.
Also note that your initial entry is the basis for the following rounds too! You'll be allowed to change no more than 20 shares before each race, so make sure your initial entry looks at least 80% respectable...

Since nobody initially knows what the playing field looks like before the first race, I will give several updates on what the total share distribution looks like among the entries submitted so far.

Entry Example A from 1975:
E Fittipaldi 37
Reutemann 22
Depailler 16
Peterson 12
Ickx 10
Donohue 3

Editing your entry after the first round it takes part in
 * After the first race your entry took part in, you may only change 20 of your shares at a time (for the next race).
 * You do not have to edit your entry at all! If you so wish, you can leave your entry as it is from race one and not make a single change throughout the season. This is however a lazy option that won't make you ultimately competitive.
 * If a driver is replaced -temporarily or permanently- during the season, the shares placed on him will automatically be transferred to the replacing driver. So you could say that the shares actually are attached to the car number.
 * You may edit your changes as much as you like until the edit deadline for the coming race.
 * Edit deadline for changes is the beginning of first free practice for each race.

Example B:
After the first race, the shareholder who submitted the entry in Example A from 1975 realizes that the Lotus is a dud, and submits an edit to her entry as follows:

She decides to Sell:
Peterson -10
Ickx -10

She decides to Buy:
Pace +10
Reutemann +5
Depailler +5

Her new "portfolio" will after the entry look like this:
E Fittipaldi 37
Reutemann 27
Depailler 21
Pace 10
Donohue 3
Peterson 2

The above change of shares can perhaps best be written like this:
E Fittipaldi 37
Reutemann 27 (+5)
Depailler 21 (+5)
Pace 10 (+10)
Donohue 3
Peterson 2 (-10)
Ickx 0 (-10)

An edit doesn't have to look just like above, any way is fine as long as it's easy to understand which driver shares are to be sold and which to be bought.

NOTE: I will only sporadically be posting updates on what each player's portfolio looks like, so remember to keep track of what you own!
The reason you're only allowed to change just 20 shares each round is that it adds some stability to the whole system: I hopefully won't get a nervous breakdown before every round, and the values for each driver won't move around all over the place from one round to the other. It will also force the players to think more long term with their investments.
Keep in mind that when there are shares removed from a driver, the potential return from the shares that remain will increase and vice versa. Holding many shares in a backmarker is an inefficient investment, as for each extra share you get your ownership percentage won't increase by much.

Points Scoring

*The score a player receives from a driver is calculated like this:

[DScore] = 9.92*[TShares]*[DRace]*[PDShares]/[DShares]

where
[TShares] = The total number of shares in the entire game at the moment
[DRace] = The number of points the driver in question scored in the race
[PDShares] = The number of shares the player owns in the driver
[DShares] = The total number of shares owned in the driver in question by ALL players.

In order to only mess around with integer scores, the 9.92*[TShares]/[DShares] factor will be rounded off DOWN to the nearest integer. This factor equals the amount of game points one share will give per WDC point scored by the driver in question.

*The player's total score of the round is simply the sum of the [DScore] values from all drivers.

Thanks to the 9.92 factor, and the [TShares] factor scaling scores up with the amount of players, an average total score for a round will always be around 100,000 points or 1000 points per share, regardless of the number of players. At least if there are shares owned in all points scoring drivers.

Example C:
Emerson Fittipaldi finishes 2nd in a race;
there are 30 players in the game all with 100 shares each;
400 of all shares are placed on Emmo.

The entry in example B will then score approximately
9.92*3000*18*37/400 points,
which with the rounding off will amount to exactly 49284 points.

A good result from 37 shares. 400/3000 shares would mean a driver is valued at 13.4666... points per race, and second place obviously is better than that.
The 1975 drivers magically score points according to the current F1 points system which makes perfect sense because this is just a hypothetical example and why didn't the player invest in Lauda anyway? Probably because he was overvalued, that's why!

I'll chuck in an entry for myself, I might make changes to it later on:

Rosberg 21

Hamilton 17

Massa 14

Alonso 13

Hülkenberg 12

Button 9

Sutil 6

Perez 4

Kvyat 2

Vergne 2

I'll post updates on driver values once there's a handful of entrants, it's pretty useless to do it with too few players.

Edited by Makarias, 04 March 2014 - 12:24.

Lets say Mercs in any form (manufacturer or powered) will sweep the points and maybe Ferrari will be second best team. Wishfull thinking about Ferrari, let's wait and see.

I am sure Makarias's last post is very informative, I understand basically nothing.

 

A handful of players might be five, innit? Way too few to get a good picture: Four drivers still unowned, The Mercedes duo having ridiculous expectations... And Vettel! Oh boy. DQ's Bianchi share goes as "Backpack", featuring Bianchi, Chilton, Ericsson and Kobayashi.

Based on testing performance I wonder if it's right to register the Marussia drivers as "Backpackers".

If you think it's not, then put on them some of your shares.

If you think it's not, then put on them some of your shares.

I want to, but I find it strange that forces outside me then decide that I've bought a "Backpackers package" instead of specific driver shares.............

Edited by scheivlak, 05 March 2014 - 22:22.

The whole idea of the Backpack share is to lump together those drivers that I'd expect not to gain much interest as "singles", and things might of course have changed significantly from last year, but for now my assumption is that Marussia and Caterham form that group whilst there is hope, at least further down the road, that teams like Lotus and Red Bull will do well despite a troubled preseason. I might of course be wrong, in which case some rearrangement shall take place after few GPs. In theory the Backpack share can reap the benefits of more than 25 points scored/race, which is a bit of an intriguing if not likely prospect!

My provisional entry of which I'm almost 100% sure I'll edit, but I put it here now to increase the overall amount of shares so Makarias' tables can make more sense now:

Hamilton 20

Rosberg 20

Vettel 15

Raikkonen 15

Perez 10

Ricciardo 10

Backpack 10

Räikkönen 25

Button 25

Magnussen 15

Sutil 10

Gutierrez 5

Grosjean 5

Maldonado 5

Backpack (Bianchi) 5

Vettel 5

I too feel that the backpack should be split up now. Splitting it later will create a mess, how are you going to distribute the shares among the drivers? If the Marussias and Caterhams turn out to be desperately slow again, merging them back together is much simpler.

Keep the backpack. It brings a surprise element to the game.

I'll keep the Backpack as is for now, although it seems to gain pretty much interest so far. I'd love to be wrong on their potential!

* In case of a split later on, I'll ask the Backpack owners to state which (one or several) of the four drivers they want to own shares in, so you can turn five Backpacks into say four Bianchis and one Kobayashi.

* If some non-Backpack drivers have fewer than four shares after China, I'll merge them into the Backpack along with any of the current Backpack drivers that would have fewer than four shares if split into singles.

* A split will take place if there are thirteen (13) or more Backpack shares after China, indicating definitely enough interest in at least one Backpack driver to have 4+ shares.

* The situation will be further reviewed in the same way after Austria, Hungary and Russia. These points chosen due to suitably long schedule gaps to better sort out any confusion, and of course to celebrate the WW1 anniversary.

I hope this clarifies and formalizes things sufficiently.

And to explain the tables above to KWSN-DSM, the figures under the "Race" column in the first table indicate a "par" WDC points score for each driver, ie anything below 18.18 points for Hamilton is to some extent disappointing.

The VPP (Value Per Point) column is the basis for the second table, which lists how many points each share will give the owner depending on the driver's race result according to [VPP]*[WDC Points], so currently a Hamilton win gives 55*25=1375 points/share.

The game is constructed so that shares generate about 1000 points/round on average, and you should attempt to do better than that!

Thanks,

I am slowly getting it, but like the stock market if I decide to buy then the price immediately go down, when I decide to sell it sky-rocket up.

It's tough to spot value here - I think that the Merc powered cars are going to be rather quick, but that seems to have been factored into the pricing...

Here's my attempt:

27 Raikkonen

24 Alonso

17 Hamilton

13 Rosberg

10 Bottas

2 Vettel

2 Sutil

2 Ricciardo

2 Grosjean

1 Vergne
