Hello everyone and welcome to the very first 2008 Predictions Championship game, here for the Australian GP!
The rules are explained below. Threads will be locked when Friday Practice begins of the GP weekends. In cases where this is not possible, the thread will be closed Thursday night (GMT), but clear-cut warnings will be given in those cases.
This is how the game is played:
For each GP:
- Each person selects 4 teams, each ranked 1-11 and the total must come to a MINIMUM of 25 (For example, Ferrari are ranked 1 and Force India are ranked 11. McLaren's DQ was not taken into consideration on ITV, therefore they are rank 2)
- Of those 4 teams, the player chooses one driver from each to score their points for them in the race (I.E. Ferrari, McLaren, BMW, Renault (I know it wouldn't add up to 25 but it's just an example) and the player chooses Massa, Hamilton, Heidfeld & Alonso). Points will be discussed later on.
- Extra points are available for correctly predicting who will have the fastest lap time in practice, the GP and who will hold pole (pole position and fastest practice holder cannot be the same driver). There are also points for who will be on the podium too. Every driver is available for selection, not just the drivers chosen earlier.
- Players may also select the Best constructor (the team with the best result in the weekend) and the Worst Constructor (the worst overall result).
POINTS
- For each constructor chosen (so both drivers from the 4 teams chosen), points are scored as follows:
1st: +10
2nd: +8
3rd: +6
4th: +5
5th: +4
6th: +3
7th: +2
8th: +1
All other cars running at finishing flag: +0.5
Cars not running at finishing flag: -5
Front row starting position on the grid: +5
- For the 4 drivers chosen, points score as follows:
1st: +10
2nd: +8
3rd: +6
4th: +5
5th: +4
6th: +3
7th: +2
8th: +1
All other cars running at finishing flag: +0.5
- For the 4 drivers chosen, for each position they move up the grid, they score an extra 3 points. E.G. a driver starts 18th and finishes 16th, the driver scores 6 points. No points are lost if they go backwards.
- The last load of points are scored as follows:
Correct Driver for fastest Practice lap: +3 pts
Pole Position: +3 pts.
Fastest race lap: +3 pts.
Podium finish: +3 pts.
OR
Correctly predicted podium place: +5 pts.
If all three in correct predicted places: +5 pts. extra (making 20 in total)
Best Constructor: +5 pts.
Worst Constructor: +5 pts.
To make things easy, please post your predictions in the same way as the example post below:
EXAMPLE POST
TEAMS: Ferrari, BMW, Super Aguri, Force India
DRIVERS: Massa, Heidfeld, Davidson, Sutil
FASTEST PRACTICE LAP: Rosberg
POLE POSITION: Coulthard (does not repeat fastest practice lap choice)
PODIUM: Raikkonen, Hamilton, Alonso
FASTEST RACE LAP: Heidfeld
BEST CONSTRUCTOR: Ferrari
WORST CONSTRUCTOR: Super Aguri
Good luck!
(P.S. Anyone who came come up with a better name for this game, suggestions would be much appreciated)
