2007 F1 Game Rules

You must read the rules completely before playing in the game!
(There have been a few issues in the past but there will be no exceptions.)

*NOTE: I will not be playing in the game this season as to ensure fairness since I am handling everyone's picks each race.

1. Each week you must choose the top eight finishers in order from 1 to 8 and Private Message your picks to me prior to the start of the parade lap. Your picks will remain secret until after the start of the race. If you would like to change your picks prior to the start, just submit a new PM to me.


2. Your choices must be submitted prior to the parade lap of each race! You may submit your picks any time, but I recommend sending them AFTER qualifying, but no later than the start of the parade lap! Any picks sent after the start of the parade lap will not be accepted.(The only exception to this rule is the weeks when FOX broadcasts the race on tape delay.)

• Most of the players will not be able to watch the race live on the weeks FOX airs the race (i.e. wont be able to see when the parade lap starts). Therefore, all players must post their picks before the time listed for the start of the race on the Official Formula 1 website (www.formula1.com) during these weeks.
• On these weeks, I will make a post stating that the broadcast is on FOX and will post the time that picks must be submitted by.
• Players cannot select one driver for more than one finishing position (i.e. you cannot have 1. MS, 2. MS, 3. KR, 4. KR, 5. MS etc.).
• Do not try to change your picks once a GP has started. This game will be run off of my computer clock once I post that no more picks will be accepted, all PMs after that point will be ignored.
• If you do not follow the rules as they are stated, your picks will not count!

3. Your driver picks must finish in the position you guessed them to finish in for you to score points allocated to that position.

• For example...if you select David Coulthard to win, and he finishes 1st, you get 10 points, however, if David does not win, you get 0 points because you were wrong about his position.
• You receive points in the same format as Formula 1:

P1 - 10 points
P2 – 8 points
P3 – 6 points
P4 – 5 points
P5 – 4 points
P6 – 3 points
P7 – 2 points
P8 – 1 point

The maximum points you can collect in a Grand Prix weekend is 39 points.



4.Each week the person who scores the most points will create a "saying" that relates to Formula 1 (i.e. "Schumy is back!!!") and all those that participated that week, must put that saying into their signature.

Example:

2007 F1 Game: M3_Dust says, “Schumy will be greatly missed, good luck to Kimi and Ferrari.”

When adding the winners "saying" to your signature it must be a color font that is readable and cannot be smaller than the standard font size on the forum.

*Negative sayings will not be considered, lets try and keep this fun and positive (i.e. no "Juan Pablo sucks").


5. Tie Breaker: If there is a tie then first tie breaker would be whom ever picked the highest winners (i.e. the person who got 1st and 2nd right would beat the guy the guy who got 1st, 4th and 6th right).

If they are still tied after that, then it goes to who ever has the most points for the season thus far...

6. Disputes: If you is a problem with the results you have one week from the time that the results are posted in the forum to dispute them. After that time I will be deleting all of the PMs containing the picks and will no longer be able to resolve any disputes.


7. At the end of the season, I will award a prize to the overall winner (and if we collect enough donations 2nd and 3rd place finishers as well), which will be the person with the highest point total. The prize has yet to be determined, but if anyone wants to pitch in a couple of bucks I will add that to my own $20 to purchase an even better F1 related prize for our champion.

If you wish to donate to the prize pool, you can Paypal me at formula1game@gmail.com or you can send me a check, PM me for the address.

*As a note, those of you who are paying via Paypal and using credit cards, there is a small transaction fee ($20 donation nets $18.72), just so you know.

Play fair and have fun.

Any questions let me know: PM me here or post a reply to this thread.

Well my action has returned to haunt me once again this season. Only 2nd round in and this person forgot to submit his tips... shocking.

Wont happen again this season.... I will try better.
Great race though, this Lewis is going to be a MEGA STAR

LOL what he said about Massa... I tricked him and yes he certainly did.

Must be nice to have Ron Dennis taking you under his wing since you were 9 years old.

Not too into the game, but would like to know the dates/times for the next F1 race... which has to be the most important info that's always never mentioned in the F1 discussion threads!

Fixed.

This year has got to be the best year! I have been watching F1 for the last 6 years and I have never been as excited as I am now. I am a diehard Ferrari fan, but dam Luis Hamilton has got me on the edge of my seat. After seeing how he held off Kimi Raikkonen and tricked Felipe Massa. 3rd in his first GP, 2nd in his Secound. Could he win the GP this time?
