Tipping Contest Overhaul?

[Hazza]

I just thought i'd get some discussion on whether people think we should upgrade the points system for the tipping contest?

My thoughts were something like a 'pick the top 3'
ie:
Rossi, Kallio, Gobert

And if the race result is:
Rossi, Kallio, Gobert
- You get 3 for rossi, 2 for Kallio and one for gobert.
but if the race result is:
Rossi, Gobert, Kallio
- You get 3 for Rossi, one for Gobert, one for Kallio

So in summary 3 points for first, 2 for second and one for third. Also one additional point for a podium getter who is not 'in position' as you listed.

Advantages: Due to the bizzare nature of this seasons championship it means that all thoose "My Guy finished 2nd!" results will still net you some points, also it means that it is still possible for the 'skilled' tipper to be rewarded for his 'talents'.

Also possibly changing the entry rules so that you can enter up until the start of the race would be a good idea, and it applys for all races, ie: If I forget and the 125s have started, I can still enter the 250s and 990s.

Anyway, just my thoughts, it'll probably come down to Schummy's shoice, or popular opinion.
