Formula 1 Competition (for 2013)

[mcgriz6]

Hi All,

As you can see I'm new to the forums, although I heard about Pistonheads a long time ago when I started going to Le Mans.

Anyway, I have been running a Formula 1 Predictions competition for a few years on another forum, but the number of participants reduced to it's lowest this year as the forum becomes less popular.

So I'm trying to open it up to another forum. I know the season has just finished, but I am trying to gauge if it would be successful here.

Below are the rules that the competition is run by.

"1. Predictions must be in before the race start time, anything after will not be accepted.
2. You must predict the top 10 finishing positions.
3. You must also predict the driver who will get the fastest lap during the race.
4. Before the first race of the season (Australia) you must predict who you think will be Drivers World Champion and Constructors World Champions. Your first choices will stand until the end of the season. Anyone who does not predict a Driver or Constructor World Champions before the first race, will not be eligible to earn points for these predictions.
5. 10 points will be awarded for predicting the correct Drivers World Champion.
6. 10 points will be awarded for predicting the correct Constructors World Champions.
7. 5 points will be awarded for predicting a driver in the right place or the driver with the fastest lap.
8. 3 points will be awarded for predicting a driver in the wrong place, but within 1 position of your guess.
9. 2 points will be awarded for predicting a driver in the wrong place, but within 2 positions of your guess.
10. 1 point will be awarded for predicting a driver in the wrong place, but within 3 positions of your guess.
11. You will be allowed 1 consecutive carry over if you miss a race, but will score half points for that round.
12. You will be allowed 1 "Joker" play throughout the season. At any race of your choosing, you can play your Joker and this will gain you Double Points for this prediction only.
13. Race disqualifications/altered finishing positions only count in our competition if they happen on the same day as a race.
14. This will be the thread for all predictions throughout the season. Any predictions posted elsewhere or sent in a PM will not be counted, they must be visible to all players.
15. The scores will be kept in a spreadsheet, which can be requested at any time."

Any comments about the rules are welcome and if you'd be interested let me know here.

Thanks.
