Cost
$10 CAD cash, cheque, Interac Transfer or PayPal to play, payable upon entry.
There is no limit to the number of players. One entry per person is permitted.
Prediction Form
For each round, players will be presented with a form where they must select one driver from each of the 10 grid rows.
Prediction Forms will be due:
- by 22:00 Pacific Time Saturday for any races scheduled to begin before 10:00 on Sunday, Pacific Time; or
- 70 minutes before race time for any races scheduled to begin on Saturday, Pacific Time; or
- 70 minutes before race time for any races scheduled to begin 10:00 or later on Sunday, Pacific Time
The Prediction Form will be published once, based on the following guidelines:
- to reflect the mostly likely application of any grid penalties or other changes to the starting grid before the race
- to allow players a generous amount of time to make their predictions (12 hours, if possible) before the Form is due
There may be occasions where the final grid changes after the Form is published. The Form will not be republished.
Points
For each round:
Finish Points
101 points are available to the top 10 finishers
The points are awarded based on the 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 system the FIA uses for finishing points.
Maximum score is 101 points
Fastest Lap
One (1) point is awarded if a selected driver is credited by the FIA with the fastest lap of the race.
Place Points
101* points are available to the top 10 performers when comparing the Final grid position to their finishing position. The points are awarded based on the 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 system the FIA uses for finishing points. Place points are not awarded to drivers who are not classified, i.e., not deemed to have finished the race.
*When drivers are tied in a points position, the points for the positions will be added and then divided by the number of drivers involved, rounded up. (This can result in some additional points being awarded beyond 101.)
Disqualifications
Any drivers penalized with No Classification (NC) after a race will be considered to have finished in the final possible position in the race.
