After much thought i have decided that i can't let a good game die and will host the 2007 Guess The Podium competition although obviously its too late for round 1 but a 16 round game is a lot better than not having a game at all.

The rules are:

It consists in guessing the three firsts (podium positions) in F1 races. You do an ordered guess (i.e. Raik-Alon-Hami) and a score is given according to real podium results. The scoring system is as explained here:

Suppose you do the guess raik-alon-hami.

If Raik is 1st, 3 points
if Raik is 2nd, 2 points
if Raik is 3rd, 1 point

If Alon is 1st, 2 points
if Alon is 2nd, 2 points
if Alon is 3rd, 1 point

If Hami is 1st, 2nd or 3rd, 1 point

It another driver makes a podium position, it doesn't give any points.

*** NEW FOR 2007 WE RETURN TO THE PRE 2006 RULES (by popular request)*** All points for Raik, Alon and Hami are added. (max score per round = 6 points)
*** NEW RULES AS FOLLOWS (also by popular request)***
Another additional rules are:

ALL GUESSES TO BE POSTED BY MIDNIGHT THURSDAY PRIOR TO RACE WEEKEND (in keeping with the other games) LATE GUESSES WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM THE ROUND.

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.


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:

entrant/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:


R.Schumacher rsch


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:

estoril85/raik/alon/hami

It means you bid to Kimi being 1st, Freddy 2nd and Lewis 3rd.

Bernie is cheating again by entering his bet after the Thursday night deadline.

Aww, I'm late as well. Thought the good ol' two hours before the race start (or whatever it was) deadline applied. That'll teach me... :(

I thought that the old rule was flawed because people would most likely put the first 3 qualifiers for the podium. This new rule puts a bit off skill back into the game. But those who missed the deadline please guess next week you will still have a good chance to win :up:
