Ten-Tenths Predictions Contest
Hello F1 Fans!
Good news! We have been listening to your comments, and have radically revised our predictions contest. The Fantasy competition is remaining as it is, with Jab running it. However, Ralf's Fan, the Admins and I have put together something rather special. Take a look at http://www.Ten-Tenths.com/predictions/ As you'll see it's an automated system. We are testing it out this season as we think it has the following advantages you'll like: 1. You can change your predictions at any time, and change them as much as you like, and be 100% sure your entry is in as you intend it. 2. The server automatically administrates the entry cutoff. You will now make your entry anytime right up until the lights go out at the start of the Qualifying session for the race. 3. The server calculates all the points, so you'll get your points quicker, and there'll be fewer, hopefully even no mistakes. 4. Because a lot ofthe hard work is taken out, we've added a lot of new and fun aspects to the competition, for example, now you can earn points for predicting who will win pole position, how fast the pole lap will be and who drove the fastest lap. We hope you enjoy this experimental competition. |

Thanks BR,
Quite a lot of work has gone into this competition. Some of the testing we did on this threw up some very interesting results. One of the cool things is that all your predictions can count for big points, so it refocuses your attention further down the grid. Like many, i have a slight suspicion that Red Bull might be a bit dominant this season. But even if the hunt for podiums gets a bit boring, there's loads of points to be scored elsewhere in the points paying positions. And a wet race could easily turn things right on their heads. |

We have done a bit of soul searching about whether it's too complicated, particularly the scoring. But on balance, we think the added interest of points from more aspects of the race will make up for it. Please join in, if this works well and you enjoy it, it gives us encouragement to refine it and roll it out to other championships. |

Don't delay getting your entries in, you can change them as much as you like, right up until qualifying starts.

In fairness, I didn't do very much either. |

Well I've added my prediction!
It really is great being able to easily scan across and see what other people have predicted, makes it very easy to compare things like fastest lap and so forth. I have a feeling this could be very interesting! |

I have a question. The rules state the deadline is the start of Qualifying.
According to the count down clock there's about 17 hours left. I just tried to change a prediction,but I was unable. Is the deadline start of Practice , or start of Qualifying ?? FYI : Love this format ! Thanks for all your hard work to set this up ! |

Go into Show Predictions, then Show Entry Form. It should allow you to make amendments. I've just gone in and changed mine with no difficulty.

I was wondering if that was causing problems. So I've updated the site with a specific link to the online entry form, which should be displayed whichever screen you're using. Hope that helps! |

I have been an idiot. If I hadn't forgotten to enter Spain before which I was leading, I could have been a lot higher than 22nd.

My predictions were:
Pole time: 1:21.700 Pole: Vettel Fastest lap: Webber 1st: Hamilton 2nd: Vettel 3rd: Button 4th: Webber 5th: Alonso 6th: Rosberg 7th: Schumacher 8th: Massa 9th: Senna 10th: Perez Here were my predictions, but I don't know if they worked because of our internet connection at this new house which kept cutting out. |
