Vlad is still missing his 29 points from Germany, erroneously awarded to acosmichippo.

Vlad: 283
acosmichippo: 0

I think a stewards' enquiry is in order. Who are the stewards, anyway?

Nothing to do with my counting.

I'll be the steward. SV disqualified and her points awarded me.

[SennaVille]

I'll be the steward. SV disqualified and her points awarded me.

Someone's cruising for a penalty!

OK, you're not disqualified. One race ban.

We've got to go bigger and better next year with this. There is another fantasy league that a lot of the members participated in at the beginning of the year, but it's a set it an forget it type of thing so it hardly even gets discussed. The fun in this is week in and week out... So think about it ya'll.

It's the ONE consistent thread on this forum that doesn't always turn into an argument.

Well I'm definitely on board for next season. And I'll be in it from the start! Everyone'll have to be on top form then!

Hopefully even more people will play too

I disagree.

Is that an argument? Not sure what I'm disagreeing with either!

We could probably do with shifting the emphasis away from accurately picking the winner to accurately picking all down the field. Picking the top positions should give the best rewards but maybe a change to the points awarded. Say, 10 down to 1 instead of following the race points.

Did a test of picking last year's final championship positions for every race. Anyone who did that would have 497 - well in excess of SennaVille's total - with Vettel's wins heavily biasing the score; almost half the total, 45% to be exact. Changing to 10 to 1 would reduce that bias and would allow others correctly picking lower positions to catch up more easily.

The website that this game originated on had that one rule, and I enforced it like a nazi. No arguing whatsoever!!!!!!! It worked. People would sometimes try to chime in with some vitriol or other, and I would post something along the lines of "This is the F1 pool, a no argue zone".

Also, not to sound cheesy or anything, but when I view posts made by fellow pool pals in other areas of the forum, I feel like we're "special friends" who have this little secret

Smokin, I've been doing this pool for years, and everybody has a suggestion on how it can be improved (right, wishy?). The amount of changes that could have been made over the years because of suggestions by members would change the game completely. I love the simplicity of it, and want to keep it that way.

If it ain't broke....
