2024 GROUP PICK CHAMPIONSHIP The closest game of 2023 is here again, once again ready to test our mettle! The concept is simple; select one driver/team from each group, and you will score their points in each Grand Prix according to this game-specific points system: 1 – 100 2 – 87 3 – 78 4 – 70 5 – ...

2024 20 QUESTIONS It's back for a third year! 20 questions are posed (the same questions for each race) and each one answered correctly earns a point. There are 10 Qualifying questions, and 10 Grand Prix questions. On top of that there are also 2 bonus questions in a weekend, in which you must predi...

2024 PLANET-F1 FORUM QUALIFYING COMPETITION The 6th year is upon us! RULES: Predict the ENTIRE grid, broken into Q1 dropouts, Q2 dropouts, and the top 10. ALL drivers must be ranked in order. No points are scored if you predict a driver to finish in the wrong session. Duplicate picks won't score for...

2024 PLANET-F1 FORUM PICK 10 COMPETITION It's back again! The rules are simple, pick 10 drivers you think will finish the race in the points and place them in the order you think they will finish. Points are awarded according to the difference your selection is from the race result, providing the se...

2024 TEAMMATE WARS We have a new game! Filling the gap left when tim3003's Team Pick game went under, this is Teammate Wars! For each race, pick the driver you think will finish higher than their teammate in each team. Every right answer scores a point, allowing a maximum of 10 points per race. Whoe...

2024 TESTING COMPETITION There's not much to explain here. Answer each question, and for every one you get right, you score a point. Most points wins, ties decided by highest scoring single day, and if all 3 days match then the tie stands. A perfect week will score 40 points. Entries must be in for ...

Perhaps it's just me and my monitor, but to me, the shading between adjacent nested responses in a posting seem just a bit too similar, making it tricky to follow attribution in some of these horribly long interchanges. Could the admins perhaps increase the contrast just a little bit? Yep, that’s y...

I live here, so yes I'm around :lol: 1 sounds a bit too complicated for you more than for us, and that might be reason enough to write it off. You might well have a more efficient spreadsheet than me, but deviations like that do complicate things. Trust me, I made enough mistakes this year to know! ...

Well this was a fun thing to wake up to. First of all, mods, I know I'm meant to keep my nose out of this subforum, so feel free to delete if you don't want the old boss encroaching. But I also know who I brought in and, while I was indisposed back in 2017, who they brought in at that point too. One...

I once listed my five favourite Floyd songs and forgot to put my actual favourite in there...

Pick from Sorrow, Learning to Fly, Wish You Were Here, Wearing the Inside Out, The Fletcher Memorial Home, Matilda Mother... This could be a long list.

That's true, the third decimal point is basically guesswork

The way I've pencilled it in:

Exactly right = 10 points
+/-0.049 = 5 points
+/-0.149 = 3 points
+/-0.249 = 1 point

Lower maximum, but slightly more friendly tapering. These go for both the pole time and race FL.

I've automated more of the scoring for next year, the spreadsheet is huge but it means I can cause less chaos through stupidity!

Big congrats to Strider on a strong championship season; even with fewer competitors than in the past, 5 wins ( Or was it 4? Different standings show a different number! ) is a mighty impressive mark. I definitely moved forward after hovering near the bottom early on, but not anything like a comple...

Congratulations to Espo for the win! Thanks you GM for hosting the tournament. I would suggest though some tweaking to the overall rules for next season. Although that could be done next year. I'm curious what you have in mind? I've already made changes, removing Practice from the game to allow lat...

I wonder if there is anything we can do to nudge the numbers up a little closer to the Top 10/Top 3 games? I'll keep pushing this, Group Pick, 20 Questions and the new for 2024 TMW game in the games thread when that's posted next year. I think what the newer games lack is the tradition that Pick 10...

Far and away the most professionally run of all the games, excellent job as ever JN23! Thank you for your work, and congratulations to No Limit Excedrin Racing and Fountoukos13!

After 24 - er, 22 races, I think I have to admit I'm terrible at this game. Well done to literally everyone else who beat me! Here's the full championship breakdown. First, I'll give the WDC and WCC points as per this scoring system, so you can see what the ideal (with no transfers, at least) picks ...

Nobody will be surprised to know who won today, using all 8 jokers in one mammoth effort. It was a bit of a mixed up field behind though. Abu Dhabi results: 1 - EXEDIRON - 1320 2 - ESPO - 855 3 = P-F1 GAMES MASTER - 699 3 = STRIDER - 699 5 - FOUNTOUKOS13 - 697 6 - TUFTY - 675 7 - JN23 - 673 8 - HERB...

2023 Championship results: 6th position: STRIDER - 34 [2 wins, 1 2nd, 1 3rd, personal best 15 in Texas] A late entry this year, instantly coming in with a win and taking another in Abu Dhabi. Had they entered the whole season we could easily be talking about a third title of the weekend here. The on...

The chequered flag falls on 2023, and the second season of 20 Questions! I think we all know who has the title here, but let's look at the race a weekend results first: Race results: 1 = JN23 - 3 1 = Strider - 3 3 = Espo - 2 3 = Tufty - 2 5 - P-F1 Games Master - 1 Abu Dhabi results: 1 - STRIDER - 10...

Now, let's break down the final standings: 20th position: MYSTIC Mb - 104 [personal best 104 in Hungary] AI clearly isn't able to compete with the rest of us. Anyone who wants to claim they're smarter than a computer, here's your proof! 19th position: IDFD - 2055.5 [2 wins, 2 2nd, 1 3rd, personal be...

And just like that, it's all over! Unlike on track, we have a first time winner this year in Abu Dhabi, so congratulations to them! Abu Dhabi results: 1 - ESPO - 158 2 - EXEDIRON - 152 3 - F1_ERNIE - 142 4 = GR63 - 136 4 = JENSON'S UNDERSTEER - 136 4 = REMMIRATH - 136 7 - JN23 - 135 8 = FOUNTOUKOS13...

I somehow demoted Magnussen... let me redo this. I'll edit the original post. Could we have a new one please if you change it? :D - the old one should stay for posterity (and also I'm sure we all meant it while congratulating UnlikeUday, in case the results do change as I suspect). Sorry, I'd alrea...

Qualifying offered more points, which is a bit surprising given how mixed up the grid was! Qualifying results: 1 - Strider - 7 [0.039 seconds off pole] 2 = Espo - 3 2 = P-F1 Games Master - 3 4 - Tufty - 2 5 - JN23 - 0 Cumulative scores: 1 - Strider - 7 2 = Espo - 4 2 = P-F1 Games Master - 4 4 - Tuft...

Piastri seems likely to get a penalty.

Not relevant to the game, thankfully. I don't want to write those reviews again - and you don't want me to change those scores!

I need to go out after Qualifying, results will come later today.

For the final time in 2023 we went qualifying in Abu Dhabi! Sargeant failed to set a time after running wide on both his flying laps, while Sainz complained about traffic as he also failed to escape Q1. Q1 results: 1 = Fountoukos13 - 100 1 = Strider - 100 3 = JN23 - 75 3 = P-F1 Games Master - 75 5 -...

Not sure why it didn't come through but thanks Jezza. There's some issue here with me sending PM's that has never been fixed. I tried to get get it fixed a while back but I think it might have been thrown in the too hard basket. I'll have a word with the mods, see if there's a workaround they can f...

A low scoring trio of Practice sessions this weekend, with only those picking Bearman as the slowest driver scoring:

1 = Espo - 1
1 = P-F1 Games Master - 1
3 = JN23 - 0
3 = Strider - 0
3 = Tufty - 0

Not sure why it didn't come through but thanks Jezza.

I now have picks from all title contenders bar Jezza. Will post during qualifying as I believe Strider is wary of giving away any clues as to Pick 10 choices.
