Guess The Podium: Turkey
#1
Posted 16 August 2005 - 21:36
Turkey is a new GP, so maybe there is a remote chance for surprise. Surprises are bad for the leaders and good for those who have to regain ground. I'd like to see a Raikkonen win if it turns to a non surprising GP, or some other winner appart from Renault or Mercedes.
==============================================
The rules are:
It consists in guessing the three firsts (podium positions) in F1 races. You do an ordered guess (i.e. msch-mont-rsch) and a score is given according to real podium results. The scoring system is as explained here:
Suppose you do the guess msch-mont-rsch.
If msch is 1st, 3 points
if msch is 2nd, 2 points
if msch is 3rd, 1 point
If mont is 1st, 2 points
if mont is 2nd, 2 points
if mont is 3rd, 1 point
If rsch is 1st, 2nd or 3rd, 1 point
It another driver makes a podium position, it doesn't give any points.
All points for msch, mont and rsch are added and then 2 is subtracted. So final score range from -2 to +4.
Another additional rules are:
Any guess can be done before one hour before the official first start of the race. We will use the "official" Atlas Forum clock to resolve timming issues. Any editing after the start of the race will result in a -2 score.
Podium positions will be considered those celebrated in the official podium ceremony , notwithstanding any posterior modification due to application of FIA rules.
Ties in general classification are resolved favouring who is "best" classified in the previous classification.
To win one of the final three first prizes at the end of the season it is required to participate in more than 50% of rounds of this game.
In case of official classification is altered BEFORE the next F1 race, we will change our results accordingly. If alteration happens AFTER the next F! race it will not have any effect in our results.
In order to have a reference I will enter two "dummy" players: Bernie and Max (the names were chosen randomly ). Bernie always guesses the firsts three qualifyers, and Max always guesses the firsts three classified in WDC current points table. Can you outscore B&M?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to "popular" demand now our format of naming drivers will go along other games in this forum:
xxxx / yyyy / zzzz
where xxxx is the four letter name of the first classified, yyyy is for the second classified and zzzz is the third classified. The four letter name is the four first letters of the surname except Michael Schumacher=msch, Ralf Schumacher=rsch, Tiago Monteiro=tmon. Note that Montoya is mont.
In case of any error entering guesses in a different format, I'll do my best to resolve the guess if there are not indeterminations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guess example: (don't put your nick!)
msch/barr/butt
It means you bid to Micheal being 1st, Barry 2nd and Button 3rd.

The leader has +20, you have -3, there are 6 races to go = 36 points (or 24 points not counting negatives) so... you have still "mathematical" chances for the title!Originally posted by Alapan

The hard part is to convince people to guess creative things like ALBE/FRIE/STOD !

There are three players with perfect scores, and some more with +3, so this has been an easy round.

My Fisi-optimismum will pay off in the long run.
