OVERALL STANDINGS:


MATCHUP SCHEDULE:

Just hopping from one car to the next... 🙂
I haven't even gotten to play three of my matchups yet, and I'm already sitting just two points behind the runner-up 😂

But hey, second place isn't really what I'm aiming for here... the next round is absolutely massive if I want to stay in the hunt for the championship title 🙏
Next up is darkmarlin16, and honestly, a win is non-negotiable. If I slip up, he jumps to a 12-point lead, and catching that kind of gap would be a nightmare... but if I can take him down, the schedule for the following two rounds looks pretty sweet. If luck is on my side and things fall into place—which shouldn't be too hard—I could be within striking distance, just 2 points behind the leader after round 13 🙏

Fernando Alonso - Kimi Räikkönen

aukuratz ... what am I supposed to be doing now? Scouring through some ancient archives for an old offer?
🤦

Something is seriously wrong with the server time.
I’ve seen posts where users are quoting messages that were actually sent after the quote itself was posted.
I am telling you, I really am, there is an issue with the NTP on the server.

Believe it or not, I didn't see this offer.

Hmm, looks like you might actually be right 😲

My admin panel shows her last post was at 10:54 PM, even though her actual last offer went up at 10:44 PM 😵

And I'm pretty damn sure I was the first one to post after 11:00 PM 😵

Whatever happens, happens. I've sent my response.

By the way, you might want to urge the higher-ups to get a move on with that NTP; the whole situation is starting to get a bit scary.

So, I just dropped two posts back-to-back on that other thread. For some reason, the second one is showing up as if it was posted a full minute before the first.

|There could be a handful of reasons for a glitch like that. My money is on the NTP or perhaps an admin who has nothing better to do than constantly tinker with the server clock.
It might also stem from some sort of misconfigured disk cache.
Or, who knows? Maybe an admin accidentally clicked a link instead of actually following it.

So, did darkmarlin16 ever get back to us, and if he did, what's the word?

How are we supposed to look at this Paški offer?
Is it just totally invalid? Did he fail to actually send it? Or are we looking at a straight-up DSQ from the super league?

stormybadger8 said:1. The Reddit F1 Super League is an invite-only competition featuring the top eight performers from last season's various forum racing series. If someone can't make the cut, the next person in line based on last year's standings steps in as a reserve. Next year's qualifying spots are detailed in rulebook section 15. Official results and rankings are posted by the league director in this thread, and the moderator will pin them to the first page for easy access while everyone else posts their picks and plays the Super League here.

2. We run this thing by having competitors face off head-to-head in triple round-robin duels, following a predetermined schedule drawn at random. During the first and second rounds of the Super League, everyone sets their own offers. In the third round, things get more organized—offers are set based on merit according to the standings at the end of round two, meaning the leaders get an easier path through the final stretch.

3. Here’s how the system works:
The person setting the offer has until midnight on Tuesday of the race week to submit five pairs of matchups. There are no restrictions on which pairs you pick, but you don't actually pick the drivers. Instead, your opponent does that by bolding their five favorites—basically marking them with a 1 or a 2 to indicate who they think will finish higher in the pair. This has to be done no later than 10 minutes before Saturday's qualifying starts. Any drivers they don't mark automatically become the favorites for the person receiving the offer.

4. Once the race is over, players earn these bonus points:
Winning a duel where no drivers DNF – 3 points
Winning a duel where the loser DNFs – 2 points
Winning a duel where the loser fails to start – 1 point
A draw where both drivers DNF or fail to start – 1 point each

5. After totaling those bonus points for each pairing, we hand out the main points:
Winning against an opponent's offer - 3 points
Winning your own offer - 2 points
A draw – 1 point each

6. To figure out the final League standings, we use these tiebreakers:
a) Whoever has more main points wins.
b) If tied there, the person with the better bonus point differential wins.
c) Still tied? The person with more main points from their head-to-head matchups wins.
d) If it's still a wash, look at the bonus point differential from those head-to-head matches.
e) If we're still stuck, the person with the most total wins takes it.
f) Tied again? More individual pair wins breaks the tie.
g) Last resort: whoever has more total bonus points wins.

7. You can actually send your offer as soon as the previous race wraps up. The official deadline is Tuesday at midnight before the race week, but honestly, we aren't strict about it—if you post at 12:01 AM on Wednesday, it still counts. However, if you miss the deadline entirely, your last submitted offer from the League stays active, and your opponent gets to respond to that. If they don't respond to the old one and a new one pops up in the meantime, they have to answer the new one. If someone misses the window in the first two rounds when there isn't an old offer yet, or if they're so late their opponent can't respond, the opponent gets the max payout: 3 main points and 15 bonus points. Also, if the responder is logged in or posting on Reddit between the late offer and qualifying but ignores it, the offer-setter gets the max points—provided the offer was posted at least an hour before the response deadline.

8. If a competitor fails to submit a new entry or response for three consecutive races, they’ll be automatically disqualified from the rest of the competition, provided there's a reserve competitor available to step into the super league. If a reserve steps in, they take over the remaining schedule left by the disqualified person, but they don't get to inherit any of those points.

9. If someone misses the deadline for a response or just doesn't reply to an offer, their opponent gets the maximum haul: 2 main points and 15 secondary points.
If a participant sends a fake response during the third round—or any other way that looks like they're clearly trying to rig things for someone else—both they and the beneficiary will face penalties. These will be decided by the tournament directors and the Reddit F1 moderators through a majority vote.

10. Once an entry or response is sent, it’s final. No deleting, no editing, no "oops, let me fix that." Breaking this rule means handing your opponent the maximum points. If you submit an incomplete entry with fewer than five pairs, you can add to it until your opponent responds; if you don't, your opponent gets the max secondary points for the missing slots. If you send more than five pairs, we only care about the first five—no corrections allowed after that.

11. Competitors can agree to swap home status for any reason during the first round. If they do, the order swaps automatically in the second round so everyone gets a turn hosting. After the second round, the home/away setup is locked in. Also, you can't mess with the pairing schedule once the tournament starts.

12. You have to post your predictions using the exact username you registered with. The only exception is if an admin changes it. If you're a banned user, you can still play by submitting your entry via your banned account; a moderator will then manually move it to the thread. If you don't follow this process, you're out.

13. Race results are based on what the FIA announces immediately after the race on TV or the first unofficial uncorrected results on the official website. We aren't looking at any later corrections from the FIA. When determining DNFs, we go by those initial FIA announcements specifying who dropped out. Per FIA rules, a driver is considered to have retired if they complete less than 90% of the race distance, and the race length is whatever the FIA decides via their standard or extraordinary rulings.

14. You can't change your entry just because the FIA or a team made a call that helps or hurts your bet. Same goes if an FIA decision screws over your opponent after you've picked your top five favorites. If you already know about an FIA or team decision before you submit, you better account for it. This specifically applies to drivers officially announced as not racing; you can't pick them. If you do, you'll face sanctions, including giving the win and max points to your opponent.

24. 5th place in F1 Tournament 1

The better teammate is whoever scored more points.
Whoever finishes dead last in the F1 Super League loses 5 spots in next year's draft for every competition they placed in this season. The guy finishing second to last loses 3 spots in their highest-ranking competition from this year.

16. These rules kick in once they're posted in the Super League thread designated for rules and results. We might tweak things later via official amendments, but only if it's absolutely necessary to keep the competition running smoothly.
If some weird situation pops up during the season that isn't covered by these rules, a special committee made up of all the admins and moderators of this subforum will make the call.

From what I can see, the offer only has 4 pairs, so Terry Carter2 gets 3 side points for that last fifth pair.

darkmarlin16 hasn't sent a response—at least I didn't get one—but maybe it reached Sep.🤷
I'll check in with him.

ruggedfox28 wrote that you're spot on—what you quoted actually has absolutely nothing to do with this.

Look, if the rules actually covered this situation, you wouldn't even be asking how the offer was going to be handled in the first place... 😁

darkmarlin16 hasn't sent over a reply yet—at least I haven't seen anything on my end—but honestly, there's a good chance it already landed with Sep.🤷
I would've checked in with him.

How exactly do you think you're going to check if he actually made it to Sep? 🤣
Look, if darkmarlin16 actually followed the rulebook when he sent his reply, then you should be getting that same response too—not just some filtered version from Seppa. This pretty much confirms they didn't follow the standard procedure. If they had done things by the book to make sure everything was legit, you wouldn't be sitting here wondering, assuming they even bothered to send anything at all.
Or is there some other way to send this that isn't actually listed in the rulebook?

Like I said before, nothing about this situation looks good to me!
😁
