2006 FORZAMINARDI.COM CHALLENGE - BRAZIL - RD. 18 (20-22 OCT)

2006 FORZAMINARDI CHALLENGE: RULES:

1.0 Predict the following exactly and gain points each round:
a. Pole getter - 2 point (pole getter is defined as the one who is on pole
when the race is started)
b. Winner of GP - 3 points
c. Second in GP - 2 points
d. Third in GP - 1 point
e. 1st car out after the race has started under the green lights whether
through DNF or DNS (through stalling for eg.) or through DQ (by black flag
for eg.) - 1 point (point given even if DQ is appealed)
f. Name the ex-minardi driver who finishes in the highest position in the
race amongst all ex-minardi drivers - 2 points
g. (for Rd.18 only) Fourth in GP - 1 point

All predictions above must be EXACTLY correct. Should any driver pull out
before the race weekend, his replacement is not automatically substituted in
the bets...the bettors MUST exercise the edit right as provided in clause 6
two days before race day.

2.0 Prize for the winner with most points at end of season:
a. one very attractive racing teeshirt...plus whatever additional prize R-J
or the others may want to throw in. :-)

3.0 The organiser is FactyCrab.

4.0 The qualifying and race results first published by formula1.com will be
used to judge the bets placed. No appeal to organiser's decision which is
final.

5.0 If the organiser cannot make a decision, he will consult R-J and/or
Minardi4eva who shall act as referees.

6.0. All bets must be submitted in the above 1.0 a to g order and must be
submitted before the first quali session start. Any bets submitted after the
first quali starts will be invalid. All bets MUST be in by before the first
quali but no editing of any bets placed can be done after the end of friday
practices (or in the case of Monaco after Thursday's practices). This is
because when a post is edited, there is no time stated when such edits have
been done. it just says which date the edit was done.

7.0 DQ means disqualification during the race. so any disqualification
resulting from not starting the race does not fall under this descrition of
DQ.

8.0 Any additional rules can be added to aid clarity but not to change the
bets format and the points as and when deemed neccessary.

9.0 The referees of this 2005 ForzaMinardi Challenge are FactyCrab,
Forzaminardi and Minardi4eva. A majority decision from these 3 is required
to settle any dispute. if the dispute concerns the referee's bet, then the
other 2 referee must adjudicate and arrive at a decision unanimously.

    2nd: Sakon Yamamoto
    3rd: Robert Doornbos
    First out: Fernando Alonso

    I think it's interesting how I predict Robert Doornbos to be third, but Christijan Albers to be the best ex-Minardi driver.

  • " DNF: Massa (along with Alonso ) "

    What will briatore says if this really happens!!!!????
  • Who cares!!??

    It's Schumacher’s last race, and last shot at a world title. Lets see the most controversial world champion, leave on a controversial note!

    I nptice Jumpey and Minardus are holding out until the last minute to bet. I wonder if they will either follow our suit and play it safe, or go for the win? And what's not to say they follow you and I Neil, and we change our bets at the last minute to fool them? ;)

  • Well how's that.

    By our bets, should the results play in my favour and I score maximum points, I'll still only pick up 6 points over Minardus...which would leave us tied for the lead!

  • ok guys gualifying has just started...good luck all!
  • hmmm, abit of good luck for me it seemed thanks to michael. now hoping for alonso to need to slow with similar mechanical problems in the race.

    do i have a chance to overhaul you, minardus? :P

  • hmmm, abit of good luck for me it seemed thanks to michael. now hoping for alonso to need to slow with similar mechanical problems in the race.
    sorry, i have to reply myself after some quick calculations. neil_s has the best chance to overhaul minardus, i think.
  • i am minus 4 from Minardus thanks to Massa

    we have to wait till the final lap!:P
  • jeez... i guess I gotta come up with some prize

  • i am minus 4 from Minardus thanks to Massa
    if massa wins i'll be level with you neil_s (meaning i'll be minus 4 from minardus) before the other scores are counted. ;)
  • Just querying a rule here:

    6.0. All bets must be submitted in the above 1.0 a to g order and must be submitted before the first quali session start. Any bets submitted after the first quali starts will be invalid. All bets MUST be in by before the first quali but no editing of any bets placed can be done after the end of friday practices.

    Neil and Facty both altered their bets with under two hours to go before Qualifying started. Now does this constitue 'editing' your bet, seeing as you have changed it? The rule doesn't say edit your POST, merely edit your BET, which in this case was done well after Friday practice..? ;)

    Sounding like Ross Brawn now! :P
  • brooksey,

    this was clarified last season under the same rule. you cannot edit your bets (also read posts) when saturday arrived as editing them doesn't prove that you had done them before qualifying since there is no time stamp upon editing. however it is perfectly alright if you post new bets and delete old bets as then you have the tiume stamp to prove that your bets were in before qualifying.

    pls see rule 6. in its entirety which you obmitted the last part conveniently:

    6.0. All bets must be submitted in the above 1.0 a to g order and must be submitted before the first quali session start. Any bets submitted after the first quali starts will be invalid. All bets MUST be in by before the first quali but no editing of any bets placed can be done after the end of friday practices (or in the case of Monaco after Thursday's practices). This is
    because when a post is edited, there is no time stated when such edits have been done. it just says which date the edit was done.

    congratulations to the champion, minardus. please send your postal address and contact tel no. to robert-jan for onward to me so that we can get the fab prize to you.

    thanks all, it had been an exciting year and it was a pleasure fighting you all the whole season through.

    btw, can someone tell us who was the first champion and year as well as all the subsequent champions? i think robert-jan should at least mention them in the forzaminardi.com front page "hall of fame" if not, send them in to fia for posterity sake. :D :D
  • Well done all, at least we had something to cheer about in the absence of Minardi!

    Well done also to Alonso, I must admit that he was very consistent all year round so he deserves the title. On the other hand, we have to salute Schumy who gave us a wonderful era in formula one racing.

    I hope next year will be Ferrari's year, knowing there will be Kimi and Massa, there are no excuses!!!!!
  • Congratulation Minardus

    :)

    Thanks to Facty, Forzaminardi and Minardi4eva :cool:
    A great competition yet again, and pretty close at the finish.
  • Thankx all!!

    As the new champ may I suggest a new feature for next season? :
    An additional competition for GP2!!!
    What do you think?

    Btw, RJ: you said "jeez... i guess I gotta come up with some prize"
    Think hard please !:P
