okay, got a dumb question (just want to be sure wink.gif). The 1-8 i am predicting...is that the qualifying order or the race order?....I only ask because in your directions you say:
QUOTE
Please predict Saturday's final qualifying pole position time by Friday 11pm GMT (subject to change). 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)

So i was a little thrown here. unsure.gif
Machi
Race I think smile.gif

Race, that just means that the 8 people who predict the closest time to the actual pole time get points and the point system works like that of F1 thumbs.gif

Well you can send up to 7 duplicate PMs in one go. At the top of the PM screen put in a members name to send to. Then under that there is a box with writing to the left of it saying:

QUOTE
You may enter up to 6 names in the carbon copy box.

One name per line.


In the box you can add 6 other member names. Do you get it now?

I know there is one Sunday morning, but I wrote above that it was Saturday, so don't know where he got the idea that it was Sunday qualifying from. headscratch.gif
saakey

Cuz the pole will be decided on sunday, not on saturday headscratch.gif
Kay_zee
For the moment though, it will be Saturdays time and not Sundays, if both added times can be predicted quite easily then I will change it, but not before we can see the effect the rule has smile.gif
Machi
OKOK ..
Mclaren_Fanatic
Is it possible to make the "edit by" compulsory. That way we just have to edit the post rather than reposting... it might make it easier.
Kay_zee
Well I think I'll say from the next race that you don't need to repost them unless it is less than 12 hours before the deadline. It's just to keep everything in order and avoid mistakes.
Mclaren_Fanatic
sure thumbs.gif
saakey
when will see the results from this first boring race? *ducks to avoid what Kay is gonna throw at me* unsure.gif
Kay_zee
They will be up tonight and should be up the monday after every race thumbs.gif
saakey
thumbs.gif ..i thought for sure i missed some bold print somewhere smile.gif
Kay_zee
No it just says they will be up asap laugh.gif Depends on what work I get whether I can do it as early as the Sunday or not. smile.gif

nuts - I thought you werre averaging the two ranting2.gif

Where did you get that from? laugh.gif

"Please predict Saturday's final qualifying pole position time..."
Nomistrek F1
you think I read these things biggrin.gif
Kay_zee
Well there you go then wink.gif
sample#136
No pressure, but... when are we going to get up to date with this? I want to know if I've moved up from 4th or not.

*please don't hit me!* ph34r.gif


smile.gif
Kay_zee
I posted in the other thread that I spent the time working them out only to find I'd used the wrong results...but I should have enough time tomorrow to do one or two rounds smile.gif
sample#136
Oh right, sorry. Didn't read that.

Like I say, no pressure (honest). I just wasn't sure what was going on. smile.gif
Kay_zee
Well if I had double checked at the time that I was looking at the right results, then you'd have two rounds, but I am currently doing the next round smile.gif
sample#136
Cool. thumbs.gif
Kay_zee
Right well I've worked out quite a lot, but still not there! mf_laughbounce2.gif

Update on scores I've currently worked out:

saakey is currently extending his lead, but followed by fanjio and closely by sample#136, Machi and Kiliana.

But I've made a mistake with one of the poles as well - you'd think I'd get used to it by now - so I'll correct that when I can and do some more working out!

The completed results WILL be up before the next gp, but these weekend trips get in the way! mf_laughbounce2.gif
Kay_zee
Corrected the mistake I made and it currently looks like this:

1. saakey
*growing gap*
2. fanjio
closely followed by..
3. Kiliana = Machi
4. sample#136 (1pt behind)

Then about a 10pt gap to the rest - me falling WAY behind mf_laughbounce2.gif
