ROUND 13 - GUESS THE GRID IN HUNGARY
Here are the Rules and Scoring system for Round 13:
1. List your guess of the top 10 qualifiers at the Hungaroring.
2. Please follow the above instructions for the way in which to post your guesses.
3. Post your guesses anytime before FRIDAY First Practice . You can change your guesses as many time as you like as long as its done before Friday First practice. Any posts or changes made after Friday first practice will be INVALID! Please get them in by Friday First Practice at the latest as it makes it easier for Garth to calculate the scores. Late entries made on the Friday will have to receive approval from Garth and myself to be allowed in the game. So you will have to plead with us for mercy.;) Entries received on Saturday will not be accepted this round.
4. Scores will be calculated as follows:
* + 3 points for being spot on . (ie. Selecting Trulli in 4th and he actually qualifies 4th)
* + 2 points for being one position away from where the driver actually qualifies (ie. Selecting Raikkonnen in 3rd and he qualifies either 2nd or 4th)
* + 1 point for having a driver you selected qualifying anywhere in the top 10 (not spot on or one away) ie. Selecting Frentzen 5th but he qualifies 9th
* - 1 point if a driver you select qualifies outside the top 10 (with the only exception being if you select a driver in 10th and he qualifies 11th) ie. Selecting Massa 5th and he qualifies 14th etc (out of the top 10)
* + 5 points if you manage to correctly pick all positions in the top 10. (Note – no one has done this in the last 2 years)
AND JUST TO CLARIFY some confusion - for example if you pick Frentzen 10th and he qualifies 11th you get 2 points, ie 1 position away. The fact that he is out of the top 10 makes you lose no points because you picked him one away at 10th.
5. The grid the result will be calculated on is that which is announced by the FIA immediately after qualifying. Therefore any subsequent penalties will not be taken into account.
6. If a driver you selected is replaced during qualifying – his replacement will be substituted in his place in your guesses unless you change it before Friday First Practice.
7. Results will be calculated soon after Qualifying is completed. Look out for a results thread to be posted by garth_b. This thread will feature the round’s results, a championship table, commentary and links to beautifully designed league tables by garth_b. The results thread can then be used as a results discussion thread by you all.
NOTE: I WILL UPDATE AND CONFIRM THE RULES REGARDING PENALTIES SOON. IT WONT AFFECT HUNGARY GUESSES ANYWAY.
If you have any questions - PM garth or myself.
Garth B will post the results soon after qualifying!
