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 "Brazil F1 2010" 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.

I have added a second spreadsheet "Brazil F1 2010B" below for those players who cannot or don't want to have to open the main sheet.
This second sheet has just the 1 password needed to open it.
The password will be posted below and in the game thread once ALL the driver numbers have been picked.

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 NOTE: At the end of each race, if your driver(s) finish in the points you must reveal yourself as the 'owner' of the driver(s) concerned in order to get the points awarded added to your score.

If you fail to identify yourself as the 'owner' of a point scoring driver then the points will go 'unclaimed' and no points will be awarded.

However, if you have revealed the identity of your drivers before/during the race in thread posts/discussions, then there is no need to identify yourself again at the end of the race.....points will automatically be awarded as appropriate.

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.


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 18 - BRAZIL:

5 6 12 15 18 19 20 25

Good luck to you all.

Post 1 attachments updated with RACE 18 (Brazil) results & players' positions.

Next race: Abu Dhabi - 14/11/10.

I will post a new game thread and spreadsheet on WEDNESDAY 10th NOVEMBER.

By my reckoning, with 63 points available as a maximum for any one player next week, Yerots has this in the bag then. His single point from Kobayashi and the failure of any of the chasing pack to pick up the 1-2-safety car combo has clinched it.

Well done Paul :thumbs

Yep, Mat's right, no-one can catch Yerots with just the one race to go.

We'll play out the last race to see who will share the podium with Yerots......will it be Mat and BigC or will Johnwilly elbow one of them off (if either fail to score significantly) to claim a podium position?

Damn, I may still have had a chance if I'd not been away, looking at the numbers that weren't picked, there were certainly good points available for a bit of catching up.. oh well, let's see if I can pip Mat for second..

How could I have picked such rubbish drivers each race using random numbers...:ermmm

TheGoodGuy

Actually, there is a valid (though unlikely) scenario for the final race that everyone's overlooked, that would see Yerotsluap and Mathare TIE for first place.

Mathare, currently on 187 points, would need to pick the 3 drivers that will finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd to earn himself 58 points, netting him 245 points in total.

AND.....

Yerotsluap, currently on 265 points, would have to pick 2 non-point scoring drivers and the Safety Car, and then the race to run WITHOUT the Safety Car being deployed, thereby losing him 20 points, resulting in him ALSO netting 245 points in total.

Ooh! I was working on a maximum swing of 63pts but you're right, the 3rd place driver can come into play IF Paul picks the safety car.

While mathematically possible for me to tie I still think my congratulations the other day were right. It's going to take a minor miracle for me to get the desired result
