Ten position penalties are ignored (only) if they are due to disciplinary reasons.
Deadline:
Full entry is accepted only for entries submitted/edited before the start of first free practice.
Guesses entered or edited after first free practice will not get their driver guesses registered.
Final deadline is whenever I choose to register the entries; typically Friday evening CET. But always after first free practice. In case of me being absent and not able to register the entries in time, the absolute final deadline is the start of Saturday practice.
Scoring rules
-The best eight guessers (closest to the actual pole position time) Score points F1 style, 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1.
-Precision points are given to every participant whose guess was sufficiently close the actual pole position time according to this list:
<-----------Time offsets-----------> Pts Default Modified Layout New Track [s] 10 - 0.050 - 0.100 - 0.150 8 - 0.100 - 0.200 - 0.300 6 - 0.200 - 0.400 - 0.600 5 - 0.400 - 0.800 - 1.200 4 - 0.600 - 1.200 - 1.800 3 - 0.800 - 1.600 - 2.400 2 - 1.200 - 2.400 - 3.600 1 - 2.000 - 4.000 - 6.000The first race of the season counts as a Modified Layout unless it's brand new.
A track that wasn't used the previous season also counts as a Modified Layout.
-Driver Points are given for correctly guessing the driver to take pole position. The amount of points given depends on the current value of the driver, according to this list:
Pts Recent qualifying results 5 0 front row starts in the previous five races 4 1 front row start in the previous five races 3 2 front row starts in the previous five races 2 3-5 front row starts in the previous five races
