Round 5 Miami - Predict 6 -10 Place Finishers - TALLY

Hi Friends -

Just giving this a try, not sure if it will be good but it's all simple. Rather than picking the top finishers, let's try the 6th to 10th placers.
To make the points calculation (simple for me) You only get the reward points for the exact place finished. Ex; if you chose Alonso to place 6th but he placed 5th or 7th, you won't get points.
Edit ; You will get reward 1 point for every driver that end in the 6th -10th place even not in the exact place predicted.

For drivers chosen who couldn't participate the race due to reasons like Covid etc., the last minute substitute will be the automatic replacement for your driver of choice.

Points rewarded = 3 points per correct place finishers totaling 15 points per race

Last accepted or edited predictions will be before FP3 Saturday. As this does not apply to Sprint races, whenever there's a Sprint race, the last accepted prediction will be right after FP1. This timing difference will be a bit tough for my region so I will leave it up to you guys to keep it reasonable.

I hope I am writing this clear enough for you people , pardon my English as it is not my mother tongue

Edit ;
For Miami this weekend, whoever gets the closest prediction on ; Fastest Lap will get a 3 point bonus, 2nd 2 points, and 3rd, 1 point.
Kindly add your Fastest lap prediction

Ooooh, I like the idea of this a lot I'm in!!

6th - Ricciardo
7th - Bottas
8th - Vettel
9th - Ocon
10th - Magnussen

That's my first attempt, I might edit it later on

Im worried that no Mercs in 6-10 with guesses in means they are (both) in the first 5. or maybe both11-20 and my worries are gone!
My brain hurts

[MonteCristo]

6th - Russell
7th - Ocon
8th - Bottas
9th - Alonso

Bottas
Alonso
Magnussen

@Downforce. thanks for taking this on.

I'll try to keep my arithmetic correct and not miscalculate the points rewards

In my brain, Russell could be 4th and Hamilton at least 11th Maybe that is more how I'd like it to be than reality though

@Downforce. thanks for taking this on.

Im banking, even hoping on you miscalculating the points as it is likely the only way I will get any. (I nearly said earn any...)

[Michael Ferner]

This is a nice idea, but can I suggest a scoring mod? It's your game, downforce, so you can do as you see fit, but in my opinion it would improve the game if you awarded one point for each driver who finsihes 6th to 10th, but not in the exact position that was predicted. Like, taking Star's example, if the finish reads 6 Vettel 7 Ricciardo 8 Bottas 9 Magnussen 10 Ocon, she doesn't score at all according to your proposal, but it would still have been an awesome guess! If you only award points for a 'direct hit' then I fear most of us will end up with a zero score most of the time. What do you think, y'all?

Here's my guess:

6 Sainz
7 Alonso
8 Gasly
9 Norris
10 Ricciardo

Fastest Lap: 1'40.888"

I appreciate you moving Vettel up to 6th

The scoring you suggest is a good idea but it makes it a lot more work I suspect.

[DownForce]

Thank you for your suggestion @Michael Ferner
Let me try that. So for each missed prediction that end up in the the 6-10 finish will get 1 point bonus.

Also I will try to come up with different type of bonus points for each round.
So for Miami this weekend, whoever gets the closest prediction on ; Fastest Lap will get a 3 point bonus, 2nd 2 points, and 3rd, 1 point.
Kindly add your Fastest lap prediction

Let's give it a go.

Man that will be a lot of Arithmetic
