Predictions competition - Indianapolis

Racer_kyle · 4 Jul 2006, 12:42 (Ref:1647978)

Here we go again! Congrats to x_dt, this week's winner, who still managed to pull a very respectable 7 points out of the bag! And well I guess the rest of us didn't have faith in the prancing horse, or else had too much faith in Mr. Montoya's driving ability.

Sorry folks, but I don't really have the time to do an overall standings list for this race, I'm not really at home much for the next few weeks, so forgive me if any results are a bit late. Also if anyone else would like to do a bit of the old adding up for the next few races I'd be eternally grateful.

Predictably rubbish score for me.

They should have restarted.

Maxmil · 4 Jul 2006, 14:22 (Ref:1648059)

Thanks again Racer. I will update the cumulative scores for the people on the cumulative list for Canada after today's holiday, but without a piece of software to calculate the scores for each race, I'm reluctant to to have a go at that.

At least you only got minus three, I got minus four!

Cheers R.K.

Knowlesy · 4 Jul 2006, 22:08 (Ref:1648453)

Whoever does the overall scores, take note of TOMATO's post there.

Take note.

T0MAT01 · 5 Jul 2006, 07:52 (Ref:1648610)

Git.

gts300 · 5 Jul 2006, 09:06 (Ref:1648673)

I make the top of the table to be like this, although someone else should double check:

Maxmil - 76

fast95pony - 73
RT - 73

pforrester - 72

SALEEN S7R - 71
ssilviu - 71

gts300 - 70

TOMATO1 - 69

gti5nottrkt - 68

Senna12 - 67

andy_b - 66
Racer_kyle - 66

Dazbaz_99 - 65

Alwaysfirst - 64
maltafan - 64
Pitstop - 64

climb - 63

903cc - 60

Thorstone - 59

Mekola - 58

Don't ask me to work out the round points though, it still seems to be a black art to me

SALEEN S7R · 5 Jul 2006, 09:09 (Ref:1648678)

Hmm a good round for me, moved from 7th to 5th overall and still just about maintaining the gap to the leaders.

Oh yeah, and thanks GTS300 for processing the results!

And I agree. However, I cannot say for a 100% certainty that there is not someone else out there in the great electronic world with a total score better than 58, and who I have missed. I suggest everyone look at their own results and ask for a review before we close the picks for the next race if they are not happy with the results.

climb · 5 Jul 2006, 13:51 (Ref:1648890)

An average preformance for me (5)... grrr for once I didn't predict pole and win for MS ....

Knowlesy · 5 Jul 2006, 13:53 (Ref:1648891)

Same problem my side climb.

You betcha I will. I'll say hi to Hakkinen and Mansell for you

Knowlesy · 5 Jul 2006, 22:27 (Ref:1649229)

No don't bother mate, but thanks.

I'm off for a drink and a round of golf with them in a few weeks time.

**chunterer** · 6 Jul 2006, 09:12 (Ref:1649466)

Good, didn't lose as much ground this time round.

I'm away for a week from this Saturday so can someone from F1 kick off the Magny Cours predictions thread before then please??

Many thanks.

OK, and, I will also try to confirm total scores for those in bold face above AND, include 903cc (60), Thorstone (59) and Mekola (58) all of whom I think did not enter for Indy, but are still in the running with those totals.

Do we know yet who will compute scores for the next race? As I said above, I will try to do the totals AFTER the next round, but not the race scores absent some piece of software to convert the entries directly to scores.

andy_b · 6 Jul 2006, 15:32 (Ref:1649690)

what software is absent?

I may be wrong, but I think there was mention way back at the beginning of the season of a "spreadsheet" that could convert our picks for each race into scores after the race. Doing this by hand is very, very slow.

pforrester · 10 Jul 2006, 12:17 (Ref:1652196)

Wow! I'm amazed I didn't lose more ground than that! I was sitting in a bar in New York sobbing into my beer watching all those cars I'd predicted get wiped out two corners into the race. Ah well, hopefully back to some form next week. Keep up the good work everyone.

Racer_kyle · 10 Jul 2006, 19:48 (Ref:1652771)

I'm away this weekend, so no results-totting-up for me!

And don't be so lazy without this so-called "software". I do it by hand in excel every week. It only takes about 20 mins!!! Lazyboneses.
