2007 FORZAMINARDI.COM CHALLENGE - AUS - RD. 1 (16-18 MAR)
2007 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 - 4 points
c. Second in GP - 3 points
d. Third in GP - 2 points
e. Fourth in GP - 1 point
f. 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)
g. Name the ex-minardi driver (excluding Alonso) who finishes in the highest position in the
race amongst all ex-minardi drivers - 2 points
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 (e.g. if race day is on Sunday, final edit right is day-stamp of post Friday).
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 (if Forza and 4Eva agree). 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.

this is not good (and NOT allowed by rule 6.0) to edit on the day of qualifying as there is no time stamp for any edits done.
edits when done only has the date stamp and we won't have any evidence other than i monitoring before the qualifying that this was indeed edited before qualifying.
the no-edit on qualifying day rule was done specifically for this reason above.
if anyone who needs to change their bets before qualifying on qualifying day, it is just as easy to delete the former post and put in amended bets as a new post...this is ok so long as done before qualifying as new posts have date AND time stamps.
i let your edit go this time but let this be the final warning to all...please, please do not edit on qualifying date as it will immediately void the bets!
thank you all.

no editing allowed, it's against the spirit as well. :(
