2009 FORZAMINARDI.COM CHALLENGE - ROUND 09- GER (10-12 JUL 2009)
2009 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 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. the glory of being the season's Forzaminardi.com champion...plus whatever additional prize R-J
or the others may want to throw in. :-)
3.0 The organisers are manlio27 and FactyCrab.
4.0 The qualifying and race results FIRST published by formula1.com will be
used to judge the bets placed unless the refrees by a majority decision decides to use the amended results following any steward decisions made post race. No appeal to organisers' decision which is
final.
5.0 If the organisers cannot make a decision, they will consult R-J and/or
Neil_s 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 description 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 2009 ForzaMinardi Challenge are FactyCrab, manlio27,
Forzaminardi, Neil_s and Minardi4eva (if Neil, R-J, Facty and 4eva agree). A majority decision
from these 5 is required to settle any dispute. If the dispute concerns the
referee's bet, then the other 4 referees must adjudicate and arrive at a majority
decision.

are the above scores correct? pls all check...
a great win jumpet, well done!
For the 5th time an ex Minardi after Nannini, Fisico, Alonso and Trulli) becomes a GP winner.
Good race in Germany, I quite enjoyed it. And I was almost shouting when Sutil was approaching Barrichello leading the race!! I really hope Force India to get points soon, but, following this trend, it will happen.
Cograts also to Alonso for the last extraordinary 17 laps.
Poor Barrichello is doomed, and he's getting quite nervous and frustrated :-)
By the way, if this trend follows, Button's championship may get to be at stake at the end. And yes, at some point Red Bull will have to choose whether to go for Vettel or for Webber. And this year, the right choice might be Webbo: in the race, he's always been competitive with Vettel, and the baby might get over-emotioned if the title will be at stake for him in the last 2 races.
Facty, I only detected one mistake in your tables: Telstar should get 3 points, as he also guesses Nico's 4th place. So, the points table after Nuerburgring is as follows:
1. 1. JumpeySpyder 40 9 49
2. 1. Neil_s 40 5 45
3. 3. SuperRoo 36 2 38
