View Full Version : Formula 1 Sweepstake Game - MONACO - 16/05/10

On the WEDNESDAY before each race I will post up an excel spreadsheet from which your randomly chosen driver(s) will be revealed.
There are 24 drivers competing in the 2010 F1 season, however, the spreadsheet contains 25 slots.
24 of the slots quite obviously contain the 24 drivers’ names. The other slot contains the SAFETY CAR.

Anyone is welcome to join the game at any time.
There is no limit to the number of players, only the number of F1 drivers !

Points will be awarded to players as follows:
At the end of each race, players holding the names of the points scoring driver(s), (the first ten finishers), will score the SAME amount of points that are awarded to their named driver(s)…..

1st = 25pts
2nd = 18pts
3rd = 15pts
4th = 12pts
5th = 10pts
6th = 8pts
7th = 6pts
8th = 4pts
9th = 2pts
10th = 1pt
The player holding the SAFETY CAR will have 20pts ADDED to their total if the SAFETY CAR IS deployed during the race.
However they will LOSE 20pts from their total if the SAFETY CAR is NOT deployed during the race.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
Each day between Wednesday and Friday before each race, players may pick and post ONE number between 1 and 25 here on the game thread (first come first served).
Players may continue to pick/post ONE number each day (first come first served) until ALL the numbers have been allocated.
Players may NOT post retrospectively, ie if a player fails to pick/post a number on, say, Wednesday, they CANNOT pick/post two numbers on Thursday.
Only ONE number can be picked each day.

I will then PM (or Email) you 2 PASSWORDS.....the first (SHEET PASSWORD) will give you access to the Excel spreadsheet, and the second (NUMBER PASSWORD) will correspond to the number you have chosen.
Open the spreadsheet (attached below) and copy and paste the NUMBER PASSWORD into the appropriate cell and your driver's name will be revealed.

At the end of each race I will post an updated Results and Leaders Table.
The player who has amassed the most points at the end of the season will win an Amazon Voucher.


IMPORTANT....PLEASE NOTE
Select 'READ ONLY' if prompted.....this shouldn't prevent you from pasting your PASSWORDS into the spreadsheet to reveal your drivers.

I would also suggest that if you get the 'DO YOU WANT TO SAVE CHANGES MADE....' prompt when you EXIT the spreadsheet, you click 'NO' in response.
If you click 'YES' and haven't deleted your PASSWORD from the sheet, then other people who subsequently access it will see your PASSWORD and selection.
The choice is yours.

GENERAL
If you want to keep your selection(s) to yourself, that's fine.....but if you want to disclose/share/discuss your selection(s) with other players, please feel free to do so here on the game thread.

PLEASE EITHER CHECK OTHER PLAYERS' POSTS TO ENSURE THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CHOOSE A NUMBER THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PICKED BY SOMEONE ELSE......OR REFER TO THE LIST BELOW TO SEE WHICH NUMBERS ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR SELECTION

Numbers Still Available For Selection - RACE 6 - MONACO:




Good luck to you all.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION


Me: 6

Mathare: 22

Just to clarify John's post...

As you may (or may not) know, Mathare is currently away on holiday without internet access, so has asked John to pick number(s) for him for this week's Monaco Grand Prix.

John will only receive the passwords for the number(s) he has picked for himself....he will NOT receive Mathare's passwords.
Mathare will be PM'd the passwords for the number(s) picked for him by John, so that he can confirm his driver(s) on his return from holiday.
