This eventuality was not specified in the rules, so we simply get more than one winner.
Throughout this season (and last year too) I have always ranked players on the same number of points at the same position. I feel it would be wrong to now suddenly introduce a rule where e.g. the number of race wins or the highest score in a weekend would take precedence.

I've gone supremely bold with my joker choice this weekend. I just have visions of Alonso, who has a very aggressive set of tyres, being nowhere with a couple of laps left and throwing on a new set of Ultras just to do a "look at what I can do" fastest lap right at the end...

No, I'm not running the competition this year.

Last year there were only six players who entered their answers before every race (out of a total of ten players). In 2016 we had 8 consistent participants from 10 total. So the game has gotten smaller from 2016 to 2017. Maybe it's one game too many or maybe my administration skills are not up to the task. Whatever the reason, I must choose where to put my time this year and because of that, sadly, it won't be running this comp.

No surprise that this went south as soon as my dominance faded. Other people winning just wasn't what the fans wanted to see ;)

In all seriousness, I completely understand. Running a game like this takes a lot of time, and while less active players does theoretically reduce the time needed, it doesn't exactly make it easier to motivate yourself to find the time when so few people are participating. It's a shame as I really enjoyed the Oracle; it represented a different challenge to the other games we've got and I appreciated that. Thank you for running it for the last two years, TC! thumbup:
