Prediction Competition 2010

[Yaaay]

OK, who's in for this year?

Rules for those who were not around last year.

You predict the 10 points finishers in order. The picks need to be sent by PM or e-mail to me before start of Friday practice (or Thursday in the case of Monaco). You then get their points if they finish top 10, however if you get their position correct you score double points. You can make gains this way by being accurate with the middle of the table, those regulars who come in 4th, 5th or 6th each time and those guys who always creep into the 7th and 8th spot.

If you fail to get fresh picks in by the deadline the last races picks will be rolled over.

Results are tracked on a spreadsheet. As I do this, make the rules and take part, it is customary to accuse me of cheating at every opportunity.

Reminder of last years results.



There are no prizes, but better than that, perhaps a mention on the podcast. So let me know if you want in and remember to do just as JJ says.

I suspect that Yaaay has already cheated but we won't find out until it is too late.

[rathump]

Count my lame a$$ in Yaaay. And thanks again for all your time to make this happen. It's a lot of fun!

[Miguel]

I'm in.

[Cé hé sin]

I'm really in having sent in my picks.

I understand that if I'm first in I get triple points

Wrong.

I would just like to thank Chemics who worked some magic on my spread sheet and automated it to make it easier to cheat to make it sort the results.

[Iceman]

I'm back for more humiliation this year.

[leonbray]

I'm in .....

[InterRaptor]

Guess I can take a beating if I get to call the FIA president a cheat as compensation.

[chemics]

Does this mean I can be accused of cheating if I win...

[Yaaay]

You are now the programming team, of course you will get accused.

[trickydicky]

Can I play please?

[Yaaay]

I didn't make this clear did I.

Your entry is accepted when you PM me your top 10 picks for Bahrain.

Not 8, 9 or 11.

No, Kimi or Nelshino.

No secret code names even I cannot work out.

Thank You.

I'm sure I was unfairly robbed last year - still I will front up again if for no other reason than the enjoyment of beating Tricky again

[LappedTraffic]

I want in again. I'm a glutton for pubishment.

[CFD_Racer]

I'm back in the game. Hopefully I can keep up with all the veterans around here!

[Jackson]

Ugh, the idea seems so intimidating again, but I'm in. I will be PMing soon.

[Apexslide]

Count me in. Yes I'm still here.

[cyan]

I'm in, for sure.
Yaaay, can you post the spreadsheet every few weeks, or at least paste the results in as data instead of images. I am a bit of an Excel junkie myself and would like to play with the data sometimes.

[starfleet76]

I'm in for more sleepless nights, at least Heidfield is not in this year...

That's a good idea, don't see why not, anyone know an easy to use file sharing site where you don't have to sign up?

You could put the data into a Google Doc presumably.

[forza minardi]

However, all that doesn't change the fact that Yaaay is cheating.

[Yaaay]

I will use google docs to do this cheating.
