[A2VR6]

You know im always in! Last year was really fun!

[Trini]

I'm in as well

[Tomaz]

I might give it a shot. I'm curious to see how the Button/Hamilton team does! :D

[Xtrema]

I'm a noob but I won't mind giving a shot at it.

[Mibz]

Aw yeah. Maybe this year I won't forget a race.

[DJ Lazy]

Sounds good guys. I will get a Beyond group setup on the same site as last year

Everyone is ok with another $20 buy in? Pay out will go to first and second (70/30) positions at the end of the season

I will post the link to join the group later today. :)

[H4LFY2nR]

I'm in again. Last season someone mentioned something about a custom user title for the winner. Is that happening this year?

[DJ Lazy]

I'm sure rage would be willing to do something like that but will let him answer that.

[buh_buh]

no points for being third on the podium?
I'm in. I'll try to get all my picks in on time this year and not cheat.

[DJ Lazy]

buh_buh, weren't you busting my balls last year about that?! :rofl:


I've setup a new sub-league on www.f1toto.com

If you are returning from last season, you should be able to log in, and Join the new sub-league.
If you are new, setup a profile (preferably your Beyond name), then "Join Sub-league" and search the drop down menu for....

Sub-league Name: Beyond.ca 2010


Payment must be received before the first Race.

Paypal is preferred otherwise I gotta transfer funds and crap. (if you don't have paypal I will accept Email Money Transfers or Cash in Person, however I would like to avoid this)

Paypal payments can be sent to: [email protected]

$20 buy-in + $0.88PP fee = $20.88 (via Paypal)


Payout:
1st Place - 70%
2nd Place - 30%

** Should a tie for first occur, pot will be divided 50/50 with no payout for 2nd **

If there is a tie for 2nd, ummm I dunno... 15/15? or you guys can toss me some ideas out! :D

Rules for the actual f1toto.com website and how the points system works are listed on the website and quite clear. If they are the same as last year, your picks have to be submitted 6hours prior to the race starting. If you miss out and don't get your picks in, your shit out of luck for that race. You don't want that happening, just ask Mibz..:D **The only exception is if the site crashes, in which case you MUST post your picks in this thread PRIOR to the race** I will ask rage2 if he can turn on No Editting for this thread just incase! ;)

If I forgot anything let me know. :)

[Mibz]

Signed up and paid.

[DJ Lazy]

^^ Got it.. That was quick! :thumbsup:

[Mibz]

I'd forget if I didn't do it now.

[ryanallan]

Im in again, and I still am pushing for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd payouts.

[A2VR6]

Money sent!!!

[Mibz]

I'm down for top 3 payouts as well, especially if we get more people than last year.

[DJ Lazy]

That's what I am waiting on before changing it up. So far its just 4 of us.

$20 buy-in + $1.50PP fee = $21.50 (via Paypal)


Signed up. :thumbsup:

One weird thing though. I was going to pay and Paypal was going to charge me a fee, so I unchecked the box and for me to pay $21.50 CAD, Josh would receive $20.58 CAD (0.92 fee). Is that correct? Or are we supposed to pay that fee so Josh receives $21.50 CAD? I so confused.. :facepalm:

Hmm good question.. I haven't actually checked my paypal acct. I've just been going off of what my email notifications have been telling me.

Last year a bunch of payments came up short and I covered it out of my own pocket as they were all less than a $1 short. Didn't want that happening this year so I assumed that $1.50 would be just right... Obviously I was wrong and now it's too much.. :banghead:

Send what you need to to make it $20 even (after PP fee) Inzane.

I will refund the extra $0.58 (hopefully without pp fees) to you other 3 who have already sent. or I can hit you up at rage's if he hosts again this year. Mibz, A2VR6, Trini PM with which you would prefer. :)

To answer your question the fee needs to be paid, so that I receive $20 (the entry fee) after PP takes their stupid fee.

Inzane, if you can find out the exact amount that needs to be sent so i recieve $20 please post it here for others. :)

[Mibz]

Here's a free tip:
Don't worry about 58 cents. I'm 1/4 Jew and even -I- don't worry about 58 cents.

EDIT: I just realized I should've made rage2 pay my entrance fee since he still owes me 50 bones from last year :P

[Cos]

still the option of doing it for fun? (i.e. no pay)

I have a hectic work schedule so cant be garunteed to always get my picks in. :dunno:

[Trini]

DJ Lazy don't worry about the $0.58

I activate.. and I only "activate" the paying guys... anyone not activated are non-payers.

it really means nothing whether you are or not... just how I keep track of who is playin for money and who isn't. :)

Ok, I'm paid up.

Looks like the correct amount is $20.88. 2.9% of $20 is 0.58 + 0.30 = 88 cents.

[Cos]

k, i added myself to the sub league.

If we need another place to watch I can accommodate a few starting may 1 and beyond.

Thanks Jason... I got your payment and it worked out to $20 even.

I will correct my INFO post. :)

So far, that's not looking too promising.. at least not for us playing for $$$$.

This should make picks for the first few races interesting.

FIA not publishing fuel weights in 2010.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/81432 All I want to see this year is Massa run out of gas once. While he's in 1st. On the last lap. So he rolls to a stop 3 feet from the finish line. Just once.

Lots have signed up..

Trini is in, Mibz, Cos, etc etc..

[DJ Lazy]

6 days & 16 hours left before the first event. :D

Anyone else planning to join the pool? (other than buh_buh)

I will, however, donate some prizes. :)

Speaking of prizes, didn't you say last season you would give the winner a custom user title? :D

[rage2]

Sure, who won again? :rofl:

[DJ Lazy]

H4LFY2nR took 1st place last year... with a come from behind victory! :guns:

a 30 minute rental of your AMG perhaps?

[A2VR6]

Ah crap, looks like i'll be following the race next week via live timing... probably be out in the field that day :(

[DJ Lazy]

2 days left to get in on this! :thumbsup:

[Cos]

Sorry I worded it wrong, it will be actual 6:00 am but FEEL like 5:00 am :cry:

[Trini]

hope I can wake up:nut:

[Inzane]

So is the deadline for submitting picks for the 1st race supposed to be 11:00pm (MST) saturday night?

(not that I would try to cut it that close)

[A2VR6]

No deadline is 2 hours before the race so 4am (MST) sunday morning. Yes, last year i've actually cut it that close before :D

[DJ Lazy]

Don't forget to make your picks guys... Wouldn't want to start the season with a missed race.. :rofl:

Should be interesting to see what everyone does for picks.

[Inzane]

Ah crap, here were my picks:

Massa - 7 pts
Alonso - 7 pts
Rosberg - 6 pts
Vettel - 8 pts
Hamilton - 6 pts
Schumi - 8 pts
Button - 8 pts
Barrichello - ZERO!!

Barrichello was admittedly my wild-card pick. I think of everyone in our subleague I may have been the only one to pick outside of the top 8 qualifiers.

However, am I missing something in the rules? Barrichello finished 10th in the race so how come that pick wasn't worth 6 pts for me?

If I'd just left Webber in there to round out the bottom of the top 8 I could've had 58 pts. D'oh. Instead I start the season near the bottom of our pool at 50 pts. Oh well... :dunno:

Oh well... :dunno: I had the right 8 guys and still got 50 points so I wouldn't worry too much. And the pool only counts drivers in the top 8, if you pick a guy for 8th and he finished 9th you will get 0 points. Just how it works.

[DJ Lazy]

^^ Precisely...

The drivers you choose HAVE to finish in the top 8 positions for you to score any points.

Trust me 8 points in the pool can be easily made up in one race... happened last year :) Everyone will have a bad race where they screw up the picks... the key is consistancy.

Challenge accepted :thumbsup: I'll try my best to do what i did to you last year... knock you out of the paying positions. :)

[DJ Lazy]

Would have been nice if www.f1toto.com would have adjusted their points system this year now that the top 10 drivers receive points. Perhaps including a larger set of points for the pools, similar to the new points system actually in F1 (and WRC actually).

I think that would have really spiced up battles in the pool.. :D

[ryanallan]

DJ Lazy, it is 10:03pm and I have forgotten my pics.
Can you let this one slide as I am only 3 minutes late?

[DJ Lazy]

Post em now before the race..

[DJ Lazy]

Just checked ur page.. .Looks like your picks are in... :dunno:

These are what is showing as your picks:

1. Sebastian Vettel
2. Fernando Alonso
3. Mark Webber
4. Felipe Massa
5. Jenson Button
6. Nico Rosberg
7. Michael Schumacher
8. Rubens Barrichello

[ryanallan]

Hum, well that's good haha.
I figured I could still make pics, but if they were not 2 hours before the race they didn't count.

Website might be having issues... It typically doesn't allow picks to be made after their 2 hour rule.

[Trini]

My picks are fcuked for this race

[A2VR6]

Dammit... was hoping Barrichello didnt sneak in there at the end. Would have been perfect :(

[DJ Lazy]

+1.. If I would have had him, I would be 6 points ahead... I had a feeling things wouldn't go as smoothly as we all predicted... :nut:

[Inzane]

Anyone else having problems with the F1toto site lately?

I really strugged with it to get my picks done on saturday evening.

And since sunday its been difficult navigating the site to see results, etc.

[DJ Lazy]

^^ It's been working fine for me this weekend, except for the fact I'm 4 points behind you. :rofl: That part needs fixed. :devil:

[ryanallan]

It has been working for me too.

I see the pool hasn't acknowledged MS's penalty...

[A2VR6]

Sweet made up some ground today!

[Inzane]

The site seemed to be working fine this weekend for me too. Nothing at all like how it seemed to be the previous weekend.

Had I just put my Monaco picks exactly like the Qualy order (like a few of you did) I would've scored 3 more points than I ended up with. Oh well. Gotta take risks sometimes.

[H4LFY2nR]

They don't update based on point corrections. I remember that happening last year too.


We rely on results published by the official F1 organization. If this information is not available for some reason, then gppool.com will decide.

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

[Inzane]

Boy I sure fucked up relative to everyone else today.

Now I know what it feels like to be one of the top 5 drivers in the championship and taking myself out of a race.



BTW, I noticed three people scored 0 today. Did they just forget or have they basically given up on the pool? :dunno:

The cosworth gave up after 2-3 races.... Trini a while ago, and Mibz just recently missed a raced.. think he quit too...

Well at least you're still mid-pack. I'm feeling like HRT - be happy just to catch sight of a Lotus.

[Mibz]

Yeah, I gave up after missing my 2nd race. I caught up after one but two is too many.

[DJ Lazy]

I'm surprised to be in the top 5... I didn't think I had been doing that well this year..

Winner overall gets 2 tickets to the 2011 Hungarian GP!

[Inzane]

Hey guys, what's the deadline to get our picks in today? (local MST time)

Its kinda screwy with the rescheduled qualifying, which probably won't even get broadcast for us here.

[ryanallan]

I see you have made some security picks. I might do the same.

[ryanallan]

Well, totally forgot about the pool :banghead:

[DJ Lazy]

[Chris Elyea]

I'm so far behind that my only hope is for something crazy to happen AND for me to predict it. Hulkenberg on pole is a good sign! So, if the Nico train results in a title-contender train wreck on the first lap, I'm back in business.
