Gold FFM mayevora Posted February 12, 2014 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I would just like it officially documented that I am currently Number 1 top of the Table 1st place numero uno.

Al Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm defo up for it again - as long as you run the reminder system!! Trust me to come 2nd in a year when Lotus doesn't support the prizes. Before that gets misconstrued by many as being ungrateful to Bibs or whatever, I'm not, and it was great fun just taking part and beating a few certain people out there - you know who you are! That was worth its weight in gold alone. I'm just rueing my luck. At the moment if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck with some events in life. Quote A LEGS man and proud to declare it!

Bibs Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Trust me to come 2nd in a year when Lotus doesn't support the prizes. Only last week I chased them up again for the prizes from the 2nd year they offered them and decided not to fulfil (along with my expenses they promised to pay (for the 2nd and only time, ever) from October 2011. Kinda think neither are gonna happen, very poor show.

Bibs Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Would this be better or worse if other people's predictions were hidden until after the race deadline do you think? I can also add bonus points for if it rains or if there's a safety car? We can even add double points to one race too if it's a good idea?

Gold FFM mayevora Posted February 15, 2014 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I recon the above is a good idea especially towards the end of the F1 callender where predictions 'could' if needed get tactical dependant on what others were doing. Bonus points re rain, safety car, fastest lap, even 1st driver to exit the race. Maybe even a 'joker' round (double points) for 1 chosen race could add to the tactics.

machine7 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I agree that hiding others predictions until after the entry time would be better. Not sure about some of the other bonuses -rain, safety, but the fastest lap sounds good? As an aside, when you have a list of the results, can the actual result be added at the top of the list? I know, lazy, but would make comparing scores easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hmmm not sure I like the idea of not seeing what others have done in advance as that is part of the fun for me in some of our private battles! choosing something slightly different so I can't get the identical score. If you do hide in the end I think you have to at least show the names that have entered as I know I've been saved through being contacted in advance of the deadline although not so critical with the auto alert system. As far as extra points I like idea of Fastest Lap. Not overly keen on the rest. From other F1 leagues I'm in, or have been in, you have to nominate your joker race before season starts so somebody joining late is snookered. If for rain you may have the problem of deciding what is the definition of rain. There is not a FIA set record of that. Only if it is declared a wet race before the start. How would you define a little drizzle on one bend for a lap or two where nobody goes onto inters or wets sort of issue? If for safety car what are you thinking? A point for a simple Y or N for at least 1 lap, or predicting which lap type of thing? Last 2 are all a bit false IMHO. Anyway when is the first race? Who's doing well? What is the form? I've been so busy I've not looked! (A rhetorical question - I'll look it up) Quote A LEGS man and proud to declare it! Lotus Enthusiasts Group Scotland Autocar's Best UK Drivers Car 2009.

Bibs Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 OK, so rain is out Al, good point. I'm in favour of hiding the predictions so we'll probably do that as others are too. We can also have an option to guess how many DNF's there will be I didn't spot before? So, no other people's predictions, SC, DNFs and 'double up' where you can pick your own joker race where you get double points. Good?
