==============================================
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. In case of official classification is altered BEFORE the next F1 race, we will change our results accordingly. If alteration happens AFTER the next F1 race it will not have any effect in our results.
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 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 the following cases and clarifications:
M. Schumacher msch
R.Schumacher rsch
Montoya mont
T. Monteiro tmon
F. Montagny fmon
De la Rosa rosa
Ide ide
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.
