I wonder if the scores were calculated based on the difference in final positions rather than absolute right/wrongs would be more indicative of the accuracy of our picks...
We'd all start off with 101 possible points for the first 10 positions each race. Then, for example, if we picked Vettel to finish 1st today (as most of us did), when he finishes second, we'd get 7 points (18 points for the final result minus our 25 point prediction) subtracted from the total points available.
So to use WB?'s picks as a full example:
Code: Select all1-Vettel (|25 - 18| = 7 points deducted)
2-Hamilton (|18 - 25| = 7 points deducted)
3-Button (|15 - 12| = 3 points deducted)
4-Alonso (|12 - 6| = 6 points deducted)
5-Rosberg (|10 - 10| = 0 points deducted)
6-di Resta (| 8 - 0| = 8 points deducted)
7-Massa (| 6 - 8| = 2 points deducted)
8-Petrov (| 4 - 2| = 2 points deducted)
9-Webber (| 2 - 15| = 13 points deducted)
10-Kobayashi (| 1 - 1| = 0 points deducted)
field: |101 - 48| = 53 points remaining
101 points possible minus 48 in deductions gives a total score of 53. This way the score reflects not just your dead hits, but how far off each position was.
