Guess the streaks. All guesses must be posted in this thread before the start of the season for full points, they can be altered however, but this will cut your points for that category. Altered guesses must be posted in new threads that are started after every race where I'll keep you updated on possible winners, eliminated drivers/teams etc.
This is split into subsections: The Season-long Games, where it doesn't matter when during the season the streak is achieved, and the Start-of-season Games, where everything is counted from the first race of the season.
The Season-long Games
Drivers
1.1. Who will get the most pole positions in a row?
1.2. Who will finish most races in a row?
1.3. Who will finish most races in the points in a row?
1.4. Who will get the most podium places in a row?
1.5. Who will get the most wins in a row?
Teams
1.6. Which team will get the most pole positions in a row?
1.7. Which team will finish most races in a row (one car classified is enough)?
1.8. Which team will finish most races in the points in a row (one car in the points is enough)?
1.9. Which team will get the most podium places in a row (one car on podium is enough)?
1.10. Which team will get the most wins in a row?
The Start-of-season Games
Drivers
2.1. Who will go the longest without retiring from a race?
2.2. Who will go the longest without finishing a race?
Teams
2.3. Which team will go the longest with both cars making it to the finish?
2.4. Which team will go the longest without getting a single car to the finish?
Rules
1. Points Updated
1.1. For guessing correctly before the start of the season, 10 points are awarded. The points will then decrease for every change as follows:
1 change: 6 points
2 changes: 4 points
3 changes: 3 points
4 changes: 2 points
5 or more changes 1 point.
1.2 There can be more than one correct guess.
If no driver manages to win two races back to back, guessing any winning driver will give you points (as all winning drivers have an equal winning streak of one race).
1.3 All results are based on races finished or not finished, nothing else.
If two drivers have a finishing streak of 10 races and both are knocked out in the race, one on the first lap, the other 30 laps later, they are still tied with a streak of 10 races. Laps aren't worth anything.
2. Altering guessesClarified
2.1 If for some reason there is only one possible outcome in some category, no further changes will be allowed in that category and it will be closed for alterations immediately.
Before the Hungarian GP three drivers have finished every race, so they have a finishing streak of 12 races. Two of those three crash in Hungary, and every other driver has failed to finish in one of the three previous races. This means that there is only one possible winner in the category left after the Hungarian GP, and no guesses for most finishes in a row can be altered anymore.
2.2 ChangedChanges will be allowed in both games as long as there is more than one possible outcome.
2.3 The guesses for each player will be updated before every race. Any difference between the guesses for a player from the start of one race to the other will be counted as a change. Therefore, a driver may change his guess as often as he likes between GPs, it will only be counted as a single change.
A player decides to alter one of his guesses after the European GP. A few moments later, he changes his mind and changes it back to what it was before. Still not satisfied, he changes the guess once more just before the start of the Canadian GP weekend. This will only be counted as one change, not three. Had he not altered it the last time, this would not have counted as any change at all.
3. Results
3.1 Results are based on official time sheets. A driver is considered to have finished if he is classified.
Hope this is all clear enough. The rules will be adjusted, clarified and whatnot over the next few days as deemed neccessary, your comments are welcome.
