First race is 1 March - Bahrain ! There are 19 in all, finishing on the 22 October in Brazil !
This means that the competition needs to be in place for the end of January to leave everyone time to enroll, pay their subs. and get their first forecast in by midnight, Wednesday 8th March !
I believe that there should be three judges and I'll be one; a spreadsheet needs to be orgainised and the forecasts entered and the eventual results posted up on this site !
More or less the same rules (but stricter) :
The competition should be open from the 1st February for enrollments :
£7.50 for the F1 competition (first three win prizes to be determined at this moment but needless to say, worth substantially more than the entry fee !
This competition needs a minimum of 30 participants !
and/or
£2.50 for the drivers' competition - one guess (estimate
as to who will be the 2006 F1 Drivers' Champion - going into a pool (less Z Club commission) with the winner having his/her 2007 Z Club membership paid !
This competition needs a minimum of 30 participants !
If (when
, there are several winners, the winning names shall be drawn from a hat at the first National Z Club meeting held after the end of the F1 season ( 22 October) by someone decided upon by the three judges !
any potentiel participants who have not paid before midnight (UK time) on the 8th March shall have their forecasts declared null and void !
Participants may pay by PayPal (see home page) stating F1 Competition (if you want to particiapte in both competitions, make just one payment of £10) or the F1 Drivers' competition. Or you may pay by cheque, ensuring that you enclose a note stating what the cheque is for !
a forecast is the placing of the top eight drivers (no name repetitions please
all forecasts to be posted on this site and all before midnight (UK time) on the Wednesday before each race - NO EXCEPTIONS and no 1/2 points awarded to those who are late or did not post a forecast !
5 points awarded to a correct forecasted position and 1 point for placing a driver in the top eight but in the wrong order !
The three winners will be those who have collected the top three totals of points - in the event of a tie, I will ask each person the five same F1 genral knowledge questions and he/she who gets the most answers right or as near as will win !
Any changes in finishing positions due to team appeals/stewards'/FIAs' decisions etc will be corrected when those changes are applied !
Anyone querying any results may appeal to one or all of the judges who will discuss together before a final decision is made !
No person taking part in this competition may query the judges' decision : a decision must be upheld by at least two judges !
Anything else ?
AND PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT SOMEONE HAS TO CREATE A WORKING SPREAD-SHEET !
