As a new addition to the competition this year we will have a Bonus GP round, when you register include your bonus GP and you will be awarded double points for that round.

If you enter the tipping competition in round 2 you will not be awarded any points for the previous round and you will accumulate points from round 2 onwards. If you enter at round 3 you will only accumlate points from round 3 onwards.

You can change your picks as many times as you wish up to the deadline (please ensure you tick the edit post box when you make your changes) however no posts will be accepted after the deadline under any circumstances. Please note, the deadline may not coincide with the start of the actual event.

The deadline for tips will be 22:00 server time on the Thursday of each GP weekend, tips after this time will not be accepted under any circumstances.

Races

If you miss the deadline or forget to make your picks you will not be awarded any points for that round

You must pick the top 8 finishers in each race. Each of the 8 picks then scores a point according to how close that pick was to the actual finishing position.

Points are calculated according to this table.

Your Pick

Example:
Driver picked to finish 1st. Actual finish 1st. 10 points
Driver picked to finish 3rd. Actual finish 2nd. 6 points

The points scored for each of the 8 picks are added together to give your overall score for that event.

In the event of a tie the player who scored the most points for their 1st place pick will be ranked ahead, if this is equal then the second placed pick will be used until a difference is found. In the event of all 8 picks scoring the same the players will be ranked as equal.
