ANNOUNCING: Top 6 Predictions Competition

[Gerard]

Besides the Fantasy Champ Car Competition at the Indy Racing forum and the recently launced Fantasy Formula One Competition in this forum, there's another competition coming your way.
The Top 6 Predictions Competition.
We did this last year just for fun but now it gets serious.
Who's crystal ball gives the best reflections, who's the master/mistress of clairvoyance?
These are the rules:

Before every Grand Prix you can tell us what you think the outcome of the race will be. Provide us with your top 6.
For every driver mentioned in the correct place you will receive 2 points. For every driver in the top 6, but not in the correct place, you will receive 1 point.

Announcements for every round of predictions will be given 1 week before the race.
Predictions have to be in before Saturday, i.e. before qualifying.
If in any case you want to change your top 6 predictions, you are allowed to change your predictions only once, again before Saturday.

You don't have to subscribe to this competition, just enter your top 6 whenever the announcement appears on the forum.
Remember, you may skip a round if you want, but ofcourse entering all rounds will gain you more points.

But, there is more.
In order to keep the competition exciting until the end, you can enter a top 6 of the final result of this season.
Who will be world champion, who will be runner-up etc. up to 6th place.
This time, for every driver in the right place you get 10 points, for every driver in the final top 6, but not in the right place, you get 5 points.

Ofcourse, you have to enter this final top 6 now in order to gain those extra points at the end of the season.
You can start entering now. Registration will close on the 3rd of March, the day before the first Grand Prix.

Gerard, just to help us poor schmucks who can't remember who is driving for which team, can you please direct us to where we can check this out? I also want to say that your predictions are predictable and not very original and lacks imagination.

[Sparky]

Well done gerard! I've been looking forward to this!

My 'End-of-Season' top 6 prediction:

1. Michael Schumacher
2. Mika Hakkinen
3. Ralf Schumacher
4. Jacques Villeneuve
5. J.P. Montoya
6. Jean Alesi

How soon (before each race) can we post the pre-race predictions?
I realise as late as possible is best (!), I just wondered.

[Gt_R]

1)MICHAEL SCHUMACHER
2)MIKA HAKKINEN
3)DAVID COULTHARD
4)RUBENS BARRICHELLO
5)JACQUES VILLENEUVE
6)RALF SCHUMACHER

[Gerard]

The announcement to enter your predictions for every round of the championship will be posted on this forum Sunday prior to the race.
That's 1 week before every race.
Indeed Sparky, it's probably best to enter the predictions as late as possible. But they have to be in before Saturday.
I will ofcourse consider everyone's local time zone.
And don't forget, you may change your predictions as long as you do it before Saturday. You may change only once.

I've just had an idea. Perhaps we could summarize all the predictions by taking each poster's top six and give points in the descending order 10-6-4 and so on, and thereby see who the 10 Tenths community as a whole sees as favourite(s) to take the WDC this season. I'll volunteer to make this summarization of predictions. I'll do it after registration has closed on the 3rd of March (there'll be no recounts ).

[Holly]
