Found this pool today after Mibz pointed out my lack of awareness on another suggestion..:rofl:

2009 F1 Fantasy Pool (http://www.f1toto.com)

This one seems like a good bet, you pick the top 8 for every GP. Read the Rules (http://www.f1toto.com/rules.php) to see how the points are calculated.

You can register whatever username you want, but enter Beyond.ca as the sub-league when you register.

I'd like to put it to a vote to see how many want a Cash Pool and how many don't.

Voting Closes on the 22nd. Entries will need to be payed by the 25th.

Sound like a plan? Changes? Ideas?

If you do sign up for this pool, please post your username in this thread so I can keep track of everyone. I see buh_buh joined already. :thumbsup:

I ended up being the "captain" of the pool when I signed up and opened the sub-league. Participants need to be activated through me, so if we decide to make this a cash pool, I will activate each person once they pay the entry. :)


Participants:

01. JDigital - Me - $$$
02. buh_buh - $$$
03. Team_McLaren
04. A2VR6 - $$$
05. H4LFY2nR - $$$

DJ Lazy

Yea, I voted $20 as a middle point unless we come out with a wide split... but I am good for $30 if the majority go that direction. :bigpimp:

Just singed up

how about this

say we have 15 players @ $20 - $300 pot

1st - $180
2nd - $80
3rd - $40

I think we should have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd paying.
It can be like the gold, silver, and bronze medals Bernie wants.

I don't think the gap between 1st and 2nd should be quite that large.. I think the 50/30/20% difference is probably the best. :dunno:

I like the big gap. Our hockey pool had a similar gap. 15 guys @ $20 each.
3rd place gets $20
2nd place gets $40
1st place gets $240

It rewards the winner, and whoever doesn't win, well... you just don't win.

so one week to go !

how is the cash situation going to work, is DJ Lazy going to hold it until pay day ?

and are we decided on $20 ?

12 players @ $20 = $240

1st - 120
2nd - 80
3rd - 40

sound good ?

I think majority rules for $20.... I'd rather not hold the cash..:rofl: I am the cash holder on another forum for another contest, would prefer to not have 2 going at the same time.... if no one steps up, i suppose I will though, but would prefer someone else. :)

I think if we are gonna pay Top 3, 3rd place should only break even. That's how its been in most other pools I have seen/been in.

I was thinking some more along the lines of this:

12 at $20 = $240

1st - 160
2nd - 60
3rd - 20


Everyone good with $20? Specifically the guys who voted $10?


On a side note, can someone help me figure out why I am unable to open/connect to www.f1toto.com from my own computer... works fine everywhere but my laptop, whether I am trying using my router or the roommates. Just started happening within the last week.

I've opened a paypal account for this pool, and only this pool.

Total Fee: $20.85 ($0.85 to cover paypal fee)

Any adjustments to the official results (in connection with doping, etc.) that arise after f1toto.com has updated the scoring will have no effect on the updated scoring. In other words: we will not adjust scorings.

rage2
04-02-2009, 07:26 PM
It made no difference if they adjusted the pool or not. Hamilton and Trulli basically swapped, and neither were in my picks haha.

This week's pick is tough. The rain, and when it will fall, will change the results so much. I've been scouring weather and satellite maps to figure out when it's gonna hit the track, and honestly, looking at the 24 hour maps, it just looks completely random in Sepang.

So, I went for a compromised wet/dry pick to try to get as many points as possible haha.

DJ Lazy
04-04-2009, 02:11 PM
I'm banking on rain tomorrow... lol.. I got a gut feeling to toss Alonso in the top 8 for some reason, but his ear infection worries me a bit..

rage, did you get my rsvp email? u care when people roll in tonight? if I wait to late i might fall asleep at home.. :rofl:

DJ Lazy
04-04-2009, 02:19 PM
Also, for everyone that paid into the Pool.

We got $180 in the pool... We will be paying out 1st and 2nd place...

1st - $130
2nd - $50

Good Luck! :thumbsup: :burnout:

As for my picks, I made a last minute change and hedging my bets on lots of rain to start the race, and dry off near the end. That's my weather prediction from the satellite maps I've been watching all day long. I'm 90% sure it's going to start on a wet track. We'll see how my weatherman skillz are tonight haha.

that is BS there should be no changes to the pool once the weekend starts. Make your picks and live with it. Not much of a skill if half way through the weekend when you got more info then you pick the top 8, any loser can do that....:thumbsdow

It's a race pool. You're supposed to make your picks AFTER qualifying to account for blown motors, grid penalties, shitty performance...

You've got the same luxuries as the rest of us... and the rules haven't changed since Day 1 when you signed up. I don't see how you can complain about it when you had ample time to read everything...

Looks like someone attacked the site, and took it down until it was closed for picks.

I'm getting 0 points, and I'm sure some of you will too. This is fucking gay.

It's been down since qualifying yesterday. FWIW, here were my picks:

Vettel
Glock
Hamilton
Trulli
Button
Barichello
Massa
Kovalainen

Since you guys are playing for money, I suggest you put your final picks in this thread before the start of the race, and we'll manually add it to the total. Either that or everyone subtracts the Bahrain score from the total.

I got mine in as well (after qualifying I might add) but I don't mind either excluding the race or adding the picks later. Unless I nail 64 points out of this, in which case we're adding the points later and if there's any arguments I will fuck you. Anally.

I've emailed F1toto to see if I can get your picks added in on the sub-league. I have no idea if they will do it for me, but we'll see. Otherwise we will have to add the points on at the end. :) (which I calculate out as 49pts)
