Entries must be submitted before the start of qualifying (Midday Saturday). No Exceptions.

I am working until 12:30 Saturday, so can someone take a screenshot at 12 please?

I have changed around some of the questions, as Bahrain is not normally the most interesting!

Please ensure you answer all 7 questions individually.

Well that was a bad weekend, don't ever remember getting all questions wrong

antodeco

******Safety Car - No - 10 points

Yep, was an interesting weekend for points alright! One of the lowest point weekends! I think that may make it a little better though, as it leave the points a little more open.

By the way, if anyone thinks of other questions that you want to put in, we can discuss it and change them around a little. I want to make it more difficult to get points, but in turn, makes the racing more interesting

How about something along the lines of:

1) Winner will have higher/lower than a 2/3-stop strategy?
2) Will any team-mates collide?
3) Will there be an incident at turn 1 of lap 1?

Wont complain with that result at all.
Thought i would have been at least tied for the lead if not behind.

As for questions one idea would be to change the way the winner points are decided

On the friday before P1 put up the odds from PP or ladbrokes and whoever you pick scores by whatever odds he is.

5 imaginary yoyos on the bets

ie alonso 5/1 with 5 on scores 30 points
Vettel 2/1 scores 15
Rosberg 12/1 scores 65

With fractions just round up 11/4 is 3/1

Might be worth a look

If we decide to go down the odds route, it will have to be an inthread post, because putting multiple options in the poll would get tricky. On top of that, the poll cant be edited as standard once it goes up. Also, the odds would need to be screengrabbed for people to pick. I might have a look to see if the odds can be gotten a week beforehand. Ive no problem putting in the odds piece, but I am just aware of the "technical" issues that it could cause.

The one with the team mates is a good idea, but I would imagine that for 75% of the races, there would be no issues, meaning a scew of higher points?

The 2/3 stop strategy is an interesting one. Winner to have done 2 pits - Yes or No?

Incident at turn one might be a good one for some of the races? That was my thinking for the "retirements in first 10 laps" inclusion this week.

I was thinking of adding in a "fastest lap" stat. Basically, you post what you think the fastest lap is going to be (timewise, not person). Whoever is closest, gets an extra 25 points? Its a once off so multiple people cannot get them. Might help bump other people up, who have a bad round. Plus, it means you need to do a little bit of research on the previous races (lets educate people!)

Ive no problem adding/changing questions, but I want to make sure that it opens the points open a little/splits the available points.

Normally the odds are put up a week before the race

As for the poll if you put the first 5 in the betting in the poll with a other option which must be posted on the thread with the odds

Most people will go for the obvious choices anyway

antodeco

******Safety Car - No - 10 points

So replace the standard drivers in the poll, with odds for that week, and then the "other" will need to be inserted in the thread, with a screenshot of the odds at the first post?

On that same topic, do you think there needs to be a refresh of the "to win" drivers?

I want to make the competition more interesting, but at the same time, I dont want it to become a pain in the hole for me either! :pac:

You could change the winning driver option to, driver to finish in xth place, and change around the X from 1 thru 8 every race.

Might make it more unpredictable/frustrating

Why don't we just use superbru for the predictions? It has pole, top 10 and fastest lap.

It's a little bit of fun, no need to go make it complicated. Shake up the questions a bit by all means but changing the format drastically should have been talked about during the winter, not now 4 races in.

Agreed, it sounds like we'll all need to go on a two day course to learn how the competition works if we go down that road. Spice up the questions for sure, but I wouldn't really say changing the whole thing is a good idea at this stage

For the winner question I would award less points for Vettel, Kimi and Alonso and give more points for other choices. Webber, Button, Massa etc don't look like they have the pace to win races at the minute so the points awarded should reflect this.

We could also add a fastest lap question.
