Rules for the 2023 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 partial 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 four 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.

 

Any changes needed?

 

Things have been cruising along nicely with the current ruleset. Unless we want to drop driver picks to 3 to spice it up?

 

I'd rather stick with what we had. If it ain't broke...

 

 

F-C maintains the early lead.

 

F-C still on top of the table after race four.

 

icy2 dropped like a feather on Jupiter with a DNS.

 

civicdrivr gets close to the top spot, but F-C is holding firm.

 

West jumps two spots to take the lead for the first time this season.

 

West builds a small gap at the top.

 

icy2 tumbles down the standings with a DNS in Austria.

 

Rough weekend

 

Bearcat makes a dramatic move up the table and makes his intentions clear for this year.

 

Only 60 points separate it so far., still some potential for swings as we get later in the season & everyone's used up their Max/RB picks

 

But points get harder to grab starting now. It's also very hard to predict the podium every race when you disregard Verstappen.

 

Agreed, gives some chance for some surprises.

 

With or without Max, there's a lot of ground still to cover.

 

And with McLaren and to a lesser degree MB (and Williams) making strides forward, there's still some good points to be had.

 

I'm kind of glad I used up my Aston picks while they were hot. Will have to see if they can bounce back.

 

I wish I used more of them

 

Shoulda not picked Ferrari

 

but i'm the stupid one

 

West consolidates his lead.

 

The slide continues

 

West still maintains a healthy lead on the top. thoiboi makes a huge jump of three places to get into second place.

 

Goddamn McLaren

 

@thoiboi
But, I moved up 2 spots. Still a long way to go.

 

If it rained, then McLaren would have had mega points. But it ended up dry.

 

I could almost not pick at all and still be ranked where I'm at FFS.

 

Whoa... was not expecting this It's okay.. the season is still young, i don't think i'll stay up here for long

 

Bearcat bursts into the top three like a bearcat.

 

A shocking DNS from Bearcast allows thoiboi and civicdrvr to leapfrog into the podium spots.

 

 

West continues his dominance at the top for the last 9 races. Is there no stopping him?

 

He's .5 away from the perfect score.....

Tight fight for the rest of the podium too!

 

West maintains a comfortable lead at the top.

 

Finally moved up a place, just took 3 DNS from a former member

 

winning is winning

 

Poor Bearcat
