2011 Formula One Fantasy League
Rules for the 2011 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 5am EST on March 23, 2011.
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.
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 5am EST on March 23, 2011.
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.
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 by Saturday, 5am EST, or prior to the start of qualifying, whichever comes first.
4. You can only choose the same driver 3 times for the entire season. Similarly, you can only choose the same team 3 times for the entire season.
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.
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.
---------------------------------------------
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 and any team in the field to a maximum of 3 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!

Driver's Championship: Hamilton
(Not my official guess, but I'll plug Rosberg now, so I have some told you so rights later on, or you guys can just laugh at me. Either way someone gets to have some fun. In any case I think we're going to see a lot of Niko this year.)
Constructor's Championship: Mercedes
However, I plan on taking a pasting the first half of the season... And possibly in the 2nd half too.
Ferrari and Mclaren will be close enough to RBR to put some dents in their record, but none of them will be consistent enough to take the constructor's championship.
