Ladies and Gentlemen,

Welcome to the 2006 How long will it take to lap Sato competition!

[list=1][*] Guess how many laps Takuma Sato 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 Sato misses a race due to injury or due to being fired ;), his replacement will be used in the competition.

[*] Your guess must be posted in the appropriate thread by 23:59:59 (Atlas time) friday night before the race. No exceptions here.

[*] 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.[/list=1]

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.

Also note that for this year I won't post the dealines every time. It's going to be friday night before the race.

Rule No. 7 is very important since I will once again have an automated script read in your guesses. Discussions should be limited to the results threads. There will be a website again, but it may not be ready until after the first race.

Check out the separate thread for the Bahrain guesses.

Cheers,
Andre
