2021 Formula One Fantasy League

Rules for the 2021 Acurazine Formula One Fantasy League:

Rules:

1. 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.

1.a In the event that the race has a sprint race component, the deadline for submitting picks will be prior to the sprint race qualifying, not prior to the sprint race itself.

2. You can only choose the same driver 4 times for the entire season. You can only choose the same team 4 times for the entire season.

3. 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.

3.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.

3.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.

3.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.

3.d No points will be awarded for the fastest lap.

3.e No points will be awarded for the outcomes of the sprint races.

4. 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 are not subject to arbitration or mediation.

-------------------------------------------------------

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!

Are we doing any bonus points for the Saturday Sprint Races, if they happen?

I guess that's the problem, I don't think the FIA even nows. Did they announce if points will be awarded? I can't see how we can implement something if F1 doesn't know.

True,
I re-read post 191 in the '21 season thread:


https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...ace-british-gp

“But points will be awarded – how many is yet to be decided – towards the world championship and determine the grid for the race itself.

KISS-we don't need to include the sprint race even if it does occur. F-C has enough on his platter this season with 23 races.

The way we've had it the past few years works well.

I'm cool with losing once during the weekend. I don't want to maximize my chances of coming last

A Ferrari pick probably will keep you in Mazepin status the rest of the year, ditto a McLaren pick.

Bearcat drops out of second place as there are shuffles throughout the field.

Pretty tight fight in the top six, separated by less than a race win.

Propose a rule to limit the number of times civicdrivr can change picks ... either per week or per season.

It's for his own good. Honest.

Do I have a second?

Chief increases his lead at the top. But look at 00TL jumping five places to second.
