1. The Formula 1 championship is an open field—players and teams can sign up at any point throughout the entire season.
Sign-ups:
To be officially entered into the lineup, you have to post which team you're playing for—simple as that. Also, if you weren't around last year, you need to claim a unique personal number between 2 and 99. Once you pick one, it’s yours for the rest of the season. No duplicates allowed.
The championship director is going to decide the number selection based on a "first come, first served" basis—pretty straightforward.
He should list two backup numbers just in case his first choice is already taken—and keep in mind that the current individual championship winner gets priority for number 1.
You can't join an existing team unless at least one player from that squad last season gives you the green light.
Teams compete with two drivers each—individual standings and team rankings are tracked separately.
If you don't sign up for the squad, you aren't part of the team competition. Period.
To be considered an official participant, you have to actually sign up for the competition and get your prediction in before the deadline hits.
If a driver doesn't pick their own number, the race director will just assign one at their discretion.
The official results and standings will be posted by the host, and once the moderator drops them on the first page of this thread, they’re final. Period.
Listen, if you want to play in the championship, you have to follow the rules—keep all your predictions and entries right here in this thread. If you post them anywhere else, they don't count. Simple as that. No exceptions.
2. The championship works like this: you post your predicted finishing order for the entire grid within the deadline. You also have to pick two extra drivers—the one starting from pole position and whoever clocks the fastest lap. You can drop your predictions as soon as the previous deadline passes, but you have to get them in before the start of Free Practice 3 for the upcoming race weekend. That’s the rule for every single race this season. Also, if you change your mind, go for it—you can edit your picks or submit entirely new ones as many times as you want until that deadline hits.
3. The scoring system works like this:
Points for each race follow the current Formula 1 scoring system—25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1—awarded to the top ten finishers who rack up the most secondary points during the race.
The points system for every race works like this:
Groups 1-3 – 5 points + 1
Group 4-10 – 3 points + 1
Group 11-16 – 2 points + 2
Group 17-22 – 1 point + 2
NOP Group - 3 points
Pole position and fastest lap—that’s 4 points plus an extra 2.
4. Points are handed out based on the categories outlined in Section 3 of the Rulebook. You can also snag extra points for nailing specific positions—those are broken down into two separate groups:
Group 1: 1st–3rd, 4th–10th — 1 point per position.
Group 2: 11-16, 17-22, Democratic-Republican coalition – 2 points for the exact position.
The extra 2 points for the Democratic-Republican coalition only kick in if you nail both drivers in that group. In the standings, it's recorded as 1 point per driver—so basically, each correct hit earns you one position, totaling two for the whole group.
5. Here’s how the race order will be decided:
A player with more secondary points is simply better. Period.
b) If there’s a tie after step a), the driver with the smaller sum wins—specifically, the sum of the differences between their actual position and their predicted position in the overall standings. In this scenario, we look at all drivers based on the official order provided by the FIA and the competitors. "Bjesomar's Rule"—The driver standings are built using preliminary race results, while any drivers not officially listed in those results are pulled from the FIA entry list. Drivers not included in the initial offer aren't part of the calculation. Note that the Democratic-Republican coalition groups aren't factored into this specific criterion.
c) If there’s a tie after step b)—the win goes to whoever submitted their updated Wild card prediction first. If nobody bothered to send an update, then the original prediction stands. Also, if one player fails to submit an updated prediction entirely, they automatically lose to their opponent.
6. Here’s how we determine the final individual standings:
a) The driver with the highest number of primary points takes it.
b) If there’s a tie after point (a), the driver with more wins moves up.
c) Still tied? Then we look at who has more secondary points.
d) If we're still stuck, we count higher finishes—more 2nd places, then 3rd places, and so on.
6.1. For the constructors' standings, the logic is basically the same:
a) The team with more primary points leads.
b) Ties go to the team with the most wins.
c) If that doesn't break the tie, we check secondary points.
d) Otherwise, it comes down to the volume of other top finishes (2nds, 3rds, etc.).
6.2. As for the Accurate Position Trophy rankings:
a) Higher priority goes to the player with more accurate positions.
b) In a tie, the player who participated in fewer rounds wins out.
c) If they're still level, we favor the player with the highest number of maxed-out positions in a single round.
d) If that fails, we look at the cumulative total of maxed-out positions over two rounds (then three, four, and so on).
7. If the number of competing teams shifts mid-season, we’ll adjust the scoring groups accordingly—specifically just the last group. For example, instead of positions 17-22, the range might shift to 17-20 or 17-24. These scoring adjustments kick in automatically without notice once the FIA or a team officially announces an entry or a withdrawal from any Formula 1 race. This also applies if the announcement happens before Friday free practice and the team ends up skipping those sessions. Just to be clear: this rule won't trigger for random absences like driver injuries or parts shortages—only actual changes to the official entry list.
