As it was a big hit last year I will be keeping this running in 2005, so I would appreciate some feedback on whether I should keep it the same as last year and also if you'll be playing again (don't want to run a game which only I play :xmaslaugh: )
I was also wondering if it would be a good idea to pm reminders to regular players if they have not made their predictions by 24 hours before the deadline?
Full Version: Predict The Points 2005
I'll definately play next year 
Keep it as last year Kay IMO.
As for PMing members if they haven't made a prediction 24 hours before deadline, it's their look out, if they forget to post so I would say no.

I will be playing again, it was great this year Thanks for all your hard work Kay 
Keep it as it was this season or keep it simple.
If you can be bothered then by all means PM regulars if they have forgotten (you can carbon copy a PM to several members). But definately PM me
:xmaslaugh:

Someone will have to explain this game to me.
An example of a round:
QUOTE
Anyone can join in at any time and members can make advanced predictions if they are away for any of the gp weekends. The aim of the game is to predict which drivers you think will make up the top 8 finishers in the race (hence the name ) If two members get the same number of points then whoever gets the closest pole position time is listed first.
Round 15
Please predict Saturday's final qualifying pole position time by First Qualifying. The 8 closest pole predictions will be awarded bonus points, this will be scored in the F1 points system (1st=10, 2nd=8, 3rd=6, 4th=5, 5th=4, 6th=3, 7th=2 & 8th=1)
(1)First Driver to Pit.
(2)Tyre that has most podium places.
(3) 'How many cars will make it to lap 2?'
Correctly guessing (1) is a bonus of 4 points, correctly guessing (2) is a bonus of two points, correctly guessing (3) is a bonus of one point.
All predictions must be posted by Saturday 11th September before first qualifying.
Scoring:
3 points if the driver finishes in the position you predicted
2 points if the driver finishes one below/above the position you predicted
1 point if the driver you predicted finishes somewhere in the points
Max Points: 24
I will post the results soon after the race. Anyone can start playing at any point in the season. Good luck with your predictions. Any other questions then just ask
Please use driver intials, as it makes it easier to put on excel, thanks

I'd never played a game like this before I did my game. I won this game and a few others that I didn't run, so I was not cheating 
Not my fault if there is no challenge

Right I am going with the majority and keeping it like last year. Although one of the 3 bonus point questions may change like last year to be topical to the season. Like 'who will Ralf crash into' last year.
Going to set it up and then post it asap so any problems or questions can be sorted beforehand.
BTW I am away for 2 races this season so if anyone would be willing to work them out for those races I would be grateful, otherwise results will be delayed.
