Entry Requirements To take part you must be a registered member of australianmotorsportforums.com.au
Before the event takes place a thread will be posted in the appropriate forum for the event.
We will accept new entrants up to the deadline of event three (Clipsal 500 - Adelaide), after the start of event three (Clipsal 500 - Adelaide) no more new entrants will be accepted under any circumstances.
If you enter the tipping competition in event 2 you will not be awarded any points for the previous event and you will accumulate points from event 2 onwards. If you enter at event 3 you will only accumulate points from event 3 onwards.
You can change your picks as many times as you wish up to the deadline however
no posts will be accepted after the deadline under any circumstances. The deadline for tips will be 22:00 server (EST) time on the Thursday of each V8 weekend for all events except the following: Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Australian GP & Bathurst. These events will have a deadline of 22:00 on the Wednesday before the event. RacesYou must pick the top 8 point scorers for the overall race weekend. This is calculated from the official V8SA point sheets after all races are completed. Each of the 8 picks then scores points according to how close that pick was to the actual finishing position.
As with the F1 tipping comp, this year we will have a bonus event (slightly different). It can be used at any time during the year for any event but, you must state you want to use your bonus when you place your tips before that event.
If 2 or more drivers finish the weekend on the same amount of points, they will be awarded the same amount of tipping points and the next position will miss out. This way there are still only 8 drivers to be awarded points.

Your PickEG:
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.
Tips can be changed right up until the specified closing time.
If for any reason you have a problem with your tipping or you will be away before the thread is opened, shoot me a PM or an email and I will see what we can do.....
Good Luck
