Guess the Podium: Spain
#1
Posted 30 April 2003 - 15:18
I was thinking about gifting an one year Atlasf1 subscription to those who don't guess the predictable mantra "MS-RB-KR" this week. But lastly I decided not doing it without Bira´s agreement.
It's possible a rainy race day... and then... oh, no! Schuey and Barry are very good wet drivers anyway! Michael actually has wetted himself several times in the car ;) (see threads about it in forums, lol)
I wish this race can go on the streak of surprise races we have seen most of time this year. It could bring another different winner. Why not a JPM win? Going more daring, why not Ralf. Going extreme: why not Barrichello?;)
And now the usual rules. Don't forget the new rule about "miss-scores" (what a name) introduced in the "GTP: Imola results" thread. Basically it means anyone who miss a round will get between 0 and 2 points as a bonus. Not a lot, so come on, put your guess and beat MAX & BERNIE evil bots.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It consists in guessing the three firsts in F1 races. You do an ordered guess (i.e. MS-JPM-RS) and a score is given according to real podium results. The scoring system is as explained here:
Suppose you do the guess MS-JPM-RS.
If MS is 1st, 3 points
if MS is 2nd, 2 points
if MS is 3rd, 1 point
If JPM is 1st, 2 points
if JPM is 2nd, 2 points
if JPM is 3rd, 1 point
If RS is 1st, 2nd or 3rd, 1 point
It another driver makes a podium position, it doesn't give any points.
The key for this system is not "gambling" on the exact position but to do a realistic shot at the relative merit of each driver in that GP. For instance, you are not penalized for JPM being first and not 2nd, as the penalty comes by not scoring with MS's first position.
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?
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 close entries.

I have received two guesses by PM:
shays: MS KR DC
Jimmino: MS RB KR
Good luck everybody and don't forget to pray for rain on Sunday!

I don't agree with this rule. If you don't play you don't get points it should be that simple.Originally posted by Schummy

As Schummy said, this has already been discussed, and Schummy has made a decision, live with it guys.
Big deal anyway, if you think you can win by getting 2 bonuspoints a round, I think you are in for a surprise.

One of the Ferrari will fail and this time it will be Michael's. DC will get passed Ralf as he probably carries a bit more fuel and Ralf will play it conservatively to finish 3rd. Alonso will finish the highest out of the 3 stoppers with Button in the top 6. If not hampered by mechanical problems, JVi might finish 7th or 8th.
So, my guess is as follows:
RB
DC
RS
JPM
FA
JB
KR
JT
JVi
MW
I have this suspicion that Michael will DNF. If not, he'll win the race hands down.
