F1 Last Man Standing Game!

    I'm starting a separate thread for lastmanracing.com so as not to be always posting about it in the general discussion thread!

    How the game works is you pick a winning team-mate from one team each race weekend. But it must be a driver from a different team for each race! If the driver you choose finishes ahead of their team-mate you advance to the next round. Lose and you’re out of the game!

    So far 13 people have joined the Boards.ie private game. The deadline for entering is 1 hour before the start of the race in Australia.

    I've created the following tournament:

    Tournament Name: Boards.ie
    Tournament Participation Code: 7232

    Anyone else who wants to join go to the Private Games on lastmanracing.com, search for Boards.ie and enter the 4 digit code! Then all you have to do is make a driver selection for Australia!

    A new Boards.ie game won't start until this one has concluded but you can always join the Global Games, with a new game being created prior to each Grand Prix weekend!

    If you have any questions about it please let me know and I hope everyone enjoys it!

    17 people in total signed up to the Boards.ie Private Game!

    The following drivers were selected:
    Bianchi, Hamiltom, Alonso, Rosberg, Button, Sutil, Vettel, Massa, Grosjean, Hulkenburg, Vergne, Perez

    17 people started, 9 are standing after the Australian Grand Prix! I wont reveal who picked what drivers so I'll leave it up to you guys whether or not you want to reveal who you picked/how you got on this weekend!

    Myself, I picked Bianchi....so I was quite literally beaten at my own game!!

    Also just to note that since Ricciardo was disqualified, anyone who picked Vettel in the game will advance to the next round.

    I went for Hamilton, fully expecting after Saturday that I'd be out but here I am still in it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 317 ✭✭Bugatti


    Brian, I'm guessing you meant to say Rosberg???

    Ah yeah what I meant to say was "I went for Hamilton to lose" but I forgot to say to lose. That'll teach me to post from my phone.

    Hey everyone, just giving an update on the Boards Last Man Racing game. If you are one of the 9 who survived round 1, remember to choose your driver for this weekends race! If you don't make a selection you will automatically be assigned the first driver you have not selected, in alphabetical order.

    The Boards game is closed but if anyone who isn't still involved in it would like to play F1 Last Man Standing, you can join the new public game at the following link: http://www.lastmanracing.com/?_module=page&_view=globalgamepage&id=global-games

    Good Luck this weekend everyone!

    I went for Grosjean in Australia.

    Not sure about my choice this week, so I'll wait and see before I say anything.


  • Registered Users Posts: 317 ✭✭Bugatti


    We're down to 6 now. Another 3 people fell at the Malaysian GP! As usual I'll leave it up to you guys to say if still standing or not! And if you did survive, dont forget to choose your driver for this weekends race!

    There's also a new public game which anyone can join at the following link: http://www.lastmanracing.com/?_module=page&_view=globalgamepage&id=global-games


  • Registered Users Posts: 317 ✭✭Bugatti


    2 people (PopePalpatine and brianktc) remaining in the Boards LastManRacing game! Don't forget to pick a driver for tomorrow's race guys! We could have a Last Man Standing this weekend! If so a new Boards tournament will start after that which everyone can enter.

    Also anyone playing one of the public games, make your selection or you'll be assigned the first driver you haven't picked, in alphabetical order.

    And as always, there's also a new public game which anyone can join, just go to Global Games on LastManRacing http://www.lastmanracing.com/?_module=page&_view=globalgamepage&id=global-games


  • Registered Users Posts: 317 ✭✭Bugatti


    Hey Everyone...an update on the Boards.ie LastManRacing tournament! The game has now concluded and the last man standing was brianktc! So the good news is that a new game has now started which is open for anyone to join.

    Tournament Name: Boards.ie
    Tournament Participation Code: 3996

    Anyone who wants to join go to the Private Games on lastmanracing.com, search for Boards.ie and enter the 4 digit code! Then all you have to do is make a driver selection for Spain!

    We had 17 people involved in the first game so hopefully we can get a few more this time!

    Also I'll try to arrange a small prize or something for the next game.....if a possible trip to Monaco goes ahead and I pick up some memorabilia there!

    Same as me!

    All 9 of us made it through to round 2. 6 people selected Alonso and 1 selection each for Button, Grojean and Bainchi.


  • Registered Users Posts: 317 ✭✭Bugatti


    If you are one of the 9 who made it past round 1 of the Boards last man standing game, dont forget to choose your driver for the Monaco GP! If you don't make a selection you will automatically be assigned the first driver you have not selected, in alphabetical order.

    Also anyone can join the new public game at the following link: http://www.lastmanracing.com/?_module=page&_view=globalgamepage&id=global-games


  • Registered Users Posts: 317 ✭✭Bugatti


    Results are in for Monaco and actually surprisingly enough for the second round in a row all 9 participants of the Boards.ie game have made it through to the next round!

    3 people selected Bianchi (I was one of those!)
    1 person selected Button
    1 person selected Grojean
    1 person selected Vergne
    1 person selected Hulkenberg
    1 person selected Alonso
    1 person selected Massa


  • Registered Users Posts: 317 ✭✭Bugatti


    Another race, another round of LastManRacing! Again at the last race all 9 people in the Boards game selected correctly. Can this happen again today?! Dont forget to choose your driver before the start of the GP today! If you don't make a selection you will automatically be assigned the first driver you have not selected, in alphabetical order.

    As always there also a new global game that's open to anyone to join before the deadline at 6.30pm this evening.

    Zcott, I see you are still standing in the Boards.ie game! Checked the records and for that race (Canada) you had selected Bottas and not Hamilton!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,206 ✭✭✭Zcott


    Not sure how I managed that...but hooray!


  • Registered Users Posts: 317 ✭✭Bugatti


    Down to 3 now...Zcott, PopePalpatine and myself are still standing.

    Drivers selected today were Button (x2), Ericsson (x2) and Grojean.


  • Registered Users Posts: 317 ✭✭Bugatti


    And I'm out!

    So we're down to final 2, Zcott vs. PopePalpatine to be the F1 Last Man Standing!

    Drivers selected today were Ericsson, Rosberg and Bottas


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,206 ✭✭✭Zcott


    Ye'd all have been mad not to pick Rosberg for that one!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,841 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    Holy crap, I totally forgot about this last weekend. :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,206 ✭✭✭Zcott


    Selection made...it's me vs you, PopePalatine!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,206 ✭✭✭Zcott


    And I'm out. Picked Vettel.


  • Registered Users Posts: 317 ✭✭Bugatti


    And we have a winner! Hard luck Zcott, the Last Man Standing is PopePalpatine who went with Button today. Well done!

    Cheers everyone who took part. I'll start a new game to begin with the Belgium GP if ye are interested in playing again!
