RULES

1. All picks must be submitted and will be only accepted as valid before qualifying begins for the GP. You can edit your picks up until 30 minutes before qualifying. Any bets submitted after this will be invalid and you won’t be able to predict for that GP weekend.

2. Only one set of predictions per player. In the event of any duplicate posts made by a player this will result in the most recent post or edit cancelling out any previous post.

3. Predict the following and if you guess accurately the following points will be awarded:
- Pole Position: 2 points
- Race Winner: 10
- 2nd: 8
- 3rd: 6
- 4th: 5
- 5th: 4
- 6th: 3
- 7th: 2
- 8th: 1
- Fastest Lap: 2 points.
- First Retirement: 1.
- Past and present Williams drivers (pick the best placed driver associated with Williams, including Button, Webber, Coulthard, Rosberg, Nakajima, Heidfeld, Piquet Jr): 2 points.
- Correct finishing position (including DNF) of Webber and Coulthard: 2 points each for correct position, 1 point for each DNF.

4. 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. You can edit your choice as per usual earlier than 30 minutes before qualifying.

5. Prize for the winner with most points at end of season is a little special something announced mid season.

6. The organisers and ordinary adjudicators are Beatrix and RedWebber. In extraordinary circumstances Growler and/or Alison GS will be consulted.

7. 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.

8. Retirement means not finishing the race after the race has started. So any retirement resulting from not starting the race does not fall under this description. The retirement can be due to an accident, mechanical or judicial reason.

9. Any additional rules can be added to aid clarity but not to change the bets format and the points as and when deemed necessary.

10. When submitting entry, please copy below and enter your corresponding answers using the user name that you are entered under in this exact order:
a. Pole Position:
b. Winner:
c. 2nd:
d. 3rd:
e. 4th:
f. 5th:
g. 6th:
h. 7th:
i. 8th:
j. Fastest Lap:
k. First Retirement:
l. Past and present Williams driver:
m. Coulthard finishing position:
n. Webber finishing position:

11. Hedging bets is permitted, eg you can chose Nick Heidfeld to win the race, but choose Coulthard to be the highest place ex/now Williams driver.

12. During the following week of each Grand Prix, all scores will be tallied and weekly winners announced. At the end of the 2008 season, 1st, 2nd and 3rd placegetters will be announced.

If there are any problems, please let Beatrix or RedWebber know and we’ll try to help asap. Otherwise, enjoy yourself and good luck.
