2014 Formula One Fantasy League
Rules for the 2014 Acurazine Formula One Fantasy League:
Rules:
1. You must pick 1 Driver which you think will win the Drivers Championship at the end of the season. Selection must be posted in this thread by 1:30am EST on March 14 , 2014, or prior to the start of Practice 2 in the Australian GP [Edited on 3/13/14]
1.a At the end of the season 25 points will be awarded to those that correctly selected the Driver's Champion at the beginning of the season. 15 points if the selected Driver finishes second in the standings. 5 points if the Driver finishes third in the standings.
2. You must pick 1 Team that you think will win the Constructors Championship at the end of the season. Selection must be posted in this thread by 1:30am EST on March 14 , 2014, or prior to the start of Practice 2 in the Australian GP [Edited on 3/13/14]
2.a At the end of the season 25 points will be awarded to those that correctly selected the Constructors Champion at the beginning of the season. 15 points if the selected Constructor finishes second in the standings. 5 points if the Constructor finishes third in the standings.
3. For each race weekend, you must post one Driver and one Team as your picks for the event. The Driver you pick does not have to be from the Team that you also pick for the event. Selection for each race must be posted in the event’s thread prior to qualifying. "Prior to qualifying" means the official start of qualifying posted by the FIA in the calendar prior to the race weekend. This deadline will not shift in the event of delays caused during the race weekend, such as weather related delays.
4. You can only choose the same driver 3 times for the entire season. You can only choose the same team 4 times for the entire season. This does not apply to the picks for the Driver (rule 1) and Constructor (rule 2) champions.
5. Points calculation will be as follows: Drivers picked for the event will receive points as classified by the FIA after the race results are confirmed. Teams picked for the event will receive 1/2 points as classified by the FIA after the race results are confirmed.
5.a In the event that the race finishes prematurely and the FIA issues 1/2 points, we will still award full points for the purpose of this competition.
5.b If no points are issued by the FIA for a race, we will not award points as well. In which case, the competitors’ picks for that race will not count toward the three pick limit for drivers, and four pick limit for constructors.
5.c In the event that the FIA makes post race penalties, the statue of limitations is 2 weeks from the end of the event or prior to the start of practice of the subsequent race, whichever comes first.
6. Each participant's smallest individual race points score will be dropped from the final points total at the end of the season.
7. Whoever has the highest points total at the end of the season will be declared the Acurazine Formula 1 Fantasy League Champion. Winning the championship has no value, and will not improve your Points, Reputation score, or bank account. Disputes to the game is not subject to arbitration or mediation.
---------------------------------------------
Just to give an example to any new participants, at the beginning of the season, I might pick Sebastien Vittel as drivers champion and Force India as constructors champion, but every race weekend I can pick any driver in the field to a maximum of 3 times throughout the season. Similarly, I can pick any team in the field to a maximum of 4 times throughout the season.
Example of points calculation for a Grand Prix event:
I choose Rosberg as my driver and Red Bull as my team. At the end of the race, the FIA posts the confirmed finish as Rosberg finishing 2nd, which collects him 18 points, and Red Bull cars finishing in 6th and 7th places, collecting that team 14 points. My total awarded points for that weekend would be [driver points]+[team points]/2=[18]+[14]/2=25.
-------------------------------------------------------
Also if everyone that participates sends me there email address, I will send out an email to everyone before each race weekend as a reminder so we have fewer instances of forgetting to make picks. If you sent me your email address last year, then there is no need to resend them to me.
Goodluck to all participants!

NOTICE: Deadline for making the champion prediction is 9pm EST on March 13, not March 14.
My goof with the time difference. The spirit of the rule is that picks must be made before any practice in Australia.

Gents, I won't be able to join you...but, thought I'd also post this neat contest here too: http://www.tomotorsports.com/pool/rules/
I buy 1/18 stuff from those guys regularly and the prizes seem to be pretty decent. FYI.

I don't disagree, Chief. Anyone else has an opinion? If no one objects by 10am tomorrow, I will formally change the rule to extend the deadline to prior to the start of P2.
