I knew this would happen when we were debating this rule, but I think the rule works to prevent people from being demoralized when they forget to make a pick. I don't have any statistics, but looking at the table, it seems that this year the participation rate is very high. No one has dropped out of the league after missing races.

No, I picked Schumacher-Mercedes for the first race and got a big goose egg. I don't think it's possible for the person running the league to forget to make a pick.

Part of the intent (as I considered it) was as F-C pointed out - if you miss a pick, it's not in and of itself a 'penalty'.
The other part (again, as I saw it) was to bring the competition closer together. By 'rewarding' a zero more than a 6, it fills that expectation as well and does so without, I think, skewing the standings radically.

F-C moves into a clear lead at the top. Followed by West and Chief.

It's a clear lead if you consider we were tied the previous race.

def not, F-C's been coming on for a while. Now you speed on the other hand, have been going backwards so I imagine you are very jealous.

Damn, i was sure less people chose vettel/rbr to win the championship. Here i was thinking that wasn't the popular choice this year and i might be able to climb a few spots.

The only person that picked Alonso is fsttyms, but I don't think it's going to do him any good.

Coming down to the wire, it's F-C, West, and Chief in the top three spots. Only 21 points separate them for the championship.

Some 2012 Fantasy Season Stats:
3 Best Races (as a group)*:
1. Germany - 329 points scored; 8.0% of all points; Avg points = 29.9;
2. Canada - 320 points scored; 7.8% of all points; Avg points = 29.1;
3. Singapore - 312.5 points scored; 7.6% of all points; Avg points = 28.4.
3 Worst Races (as a group)*:
20. Europe - 115 points scored; 2.8% of all points; Avg points = 10.5;
19. USA - 131.5 points scored; 3.2% of all points; Avg points = 12.0;
18. Spain - 132 points scored; 3.2% of all points; Avg points = 12.0.
* - of those that participated all season; if evenly distributed each race would account for 5.0% of the total point score.
Best Individual Race Perfomances:
Maximum possible for any one race would be winning driver (25) + 1st & 2nd position for the team (25+18)/2, or 46.5 points.
1. Legend2TL - 45 Points, Australia;
T3. Icy2 - 41.5 Points, Hungary;
T3. uzzmaan - 41.5 Points, Brazil;
4. West6MT - 38.5 Points, Japan;

T7. uzzmaan - 38 Points, Singapore
T7. F-C - 38 Points, Singapore

Well, Sao Paulo wasn't as scary as they say, but it's true about one thing, all the taxi drivers think they are Ayrton Senna at Monaco.
Anyway, the tables after Brazil:
F-C leads Chief by a thread.
