2020 World RX Prediction

[MissClarrpz]

World Rallycross Prediction Competition

As some of you enjoyed last year’s running it's back for another season. Some subtle rule changes and hopefully the rules look simpler as well.

Selection:
1. Pick 2 DRIVERS and a TEAM who are set to run the full season.
2. These picks must be from the different teams. Ie. DRIVER A must be from team X, DRIVER B from team Y and your (2 car) TEAM pick is team Z.

Scoring:
3. You score points based on where your DRIVERS finish in their individual races. This is how points get scored:

Finish	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	DNF (any session)	DNS	DSQ
Points	5	4	3	2	1	0	0	0	0

Losing Point:
4. You lose points based on how far apart the drivers in your TEAM are in the 3/4 qualification sessions. I will add up the 3 smallest gaps between your TEAM's drivers across the heats to find this result. For every second the drivers in your TEAM are apart you lose 1 point. For example, if it totals between 10.000 and 10.999 seconds, you will lose 10 points.
5. If your TEAM does not have 2 cars finish 3 heats I will multiply the total time gap between the cars by 1.5 or 3 to get the 3 race total.
6. The maximum you can lose is capped at 50 points (not including what you can gain)
7. If your TEAM cannot get 2 cars to finish in any session you lose 50 points.

Making changes:
8. You can permanently change your DRIVER A or DRIVER B or TEAM once (not once each like last season) assuming this follows rule 2.
9. You can for 1 round temporarily swap one DRIVER A or DRIVER B or TEAM once (your joker round) assuming this follows rule 2. After your joker round your selection reverts back to your previous lineup.
10. If a driver is replaced you are assigned their replacement.
11. If a team or driver misses a round (and they have not been replaced) you will have a random team/driver assigned to you unless you use your permanent change.
12. You can change your mind as many times as you like up until Q1 starts.

Late Entries:
13. Anyone can join throughout the season and will be penalised somewhat. Last season I gave those who joined late the lowest scores from each round they missed. You’ll be on the back foot but not out of the fight.

Full Season Teams (6 in total):
Team JC (Larsson & Baumanis)
GRX (Timerzyanov & Gronholm), GRX Set is a different team
Team Hansen (Hansen & Hansen)
GCK Unkoruppted (Baciuska & Chicherit)
GCK RX Cartel (Bakkrud & Doran)
Munnich Motorsport (Scheider & Munnich)

Additional Full Season Drivers (15 in total):
Anton Marklund
Johan Kristoffersson
Jani Paasonen

Unfortunately Gronholm races for GRX. Your driver's and team need to all be from different teams

That's a good point. 2 people already have the same guess so I'm going change the rule on your one temporary round change to mix things up more.

9. You can for 1 round temporarily swap your DRIVER A, DRIVER B and TEAM (your joker round) assuming this follows rule 2. You must change at least 2 of your 3 choices. If you do not use your joker you will receive a 30 point penalty. After your joker round your selection reverts back to your previous lineup.

[MissClarrpz]

Even before the season kicks off I'll decide to use my Joker change

Joker round: Sweden 2
Driver A: Sebastian Eriksson
Driver B: Mattias Ekström
Team: Team Hansen

Reminder MANU MATADOR that your current selection isn't allowed. If you don't change it before Q1 I'll randomly change it.

[SnoodyMcFlude]

I'd like to play my joker, JK in for Bakkerud

[RichP]

Can I change Larson for Ekstrom for Saturday please?

[MissClarrpz]

Sure thing. That's your one permanent change so your lineup will remain the same from now on (if Ekstrom misses a round you'll be given his replacement). You still need to use your joker at some point.

For your joker you need to change at least 2 of your lineup. Let me know what else you want to change or I can randomise it 😁

[crmalcolm]

Is taking a Joker mandatory?

The rules say you 'can', not 'must'.

[MissClarrpz]

It is a must otherwise it's a 30 point penalty. It's to combat people having the same or similar lineups

I see I used "can" instead of "must" in the first part of the change. Hopefully this clears it up to everyone

Thanks. I will review my selection.

[BertMk2]

I'll play my joker for the next round - Marklund out for Kristoffersson

[crmalcolm]

I want to TEMPORARILY change my Driver A which is Bakkerud with Larsson
