Quick turnaround for Malaysia this weekend.

If you missed getting your tips in for HLWITTLS for Melbourne, don't panic, it's not too late for 2009! With the rule that you drop your worst round, you could still be well in the hunt for the title if you get your tips in from this week onwards.

Results from Melbourne will be up in the next few hour or two.

My guess for Malaysia: 28


For those who may be wanting to join this round, here is a reminder of the rules of the game.....

HLWITTLS

Rules and regs unashamedly stolen from LB’s opening from last year (my changes in italics).

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Welcome to the 2009 How Long Will It Take To Lap Sutil competition!

The rules:

Guess how many laps Adrian Sutil will complete (as in he has to pass the start/finish line) before he is overtaken for the first time by the leader of the race. If, for example, he doesn't qualify or he blows up on the grid, that counts as 0 laps. If he is passed during lap 15, that means he has completed 14 laps.

The winner for a race will be the person who's score, or the difference between their guess and the actual number of laps, is closest to 0.

The race scores will be compiled after every event towards the championship tally. The top finishers for a race will be posted along with the full championship standings following each race.

If you miss a race (forget to add a guess), your total for that week will be the total number of laps in the race.

If Sutil misses a race due to injury or due to being fired, his replacement will be used in the competition. If he is fired during a race weekend and only one Force India car starts that car shall be used

Your guess must be posted before the start of Friday first practice. No exceptions.
Please state your guess as a decimal number (eg. "10"), don't write it out or be otherwise confusing.

This is a competition for lazy bastards who don't want to think too much, so any complaints you have about any results, etc, will likely be completely ignored. Or rather corrected by me, because I'm nice like that (me too!).

New for 2007, continued in 2008 and 2009: Everybody is allowed one "scratch result". In other words, your worst guess or one missed race will not count towards your final score. So if you miss one race during the whole season, that race won't count. If you don't miss any races, your worst guess will not count towards your final score.

Please remember to get your guesses in on time. Nothing hurts you more than a missed guess in this game. If you're going on vacation, you can PM me up to one guess in advance. Please don't abuse this option though.

Cheers,
Mark
