This means that Valve Bounce has won the competition. Many congratulations!

But, let's not forget that at the beginning of the year, all users were invited to predict the final WDC standings as well - the scores from this prediction would be added to the total score of points obtained from each round to produce an overall winner. We also decided to run this as a separate competition, just as Gerard did last year - the reason for this being that we wanted to give users who hadn't predicted WDC standings also a chance in the competition. So here are the final results, including WDC predictions:

Global standings = Current Points + WDC points

And in this competition, we have two winners - eatapc and Inigo Montoya. Congrats!

So in total, we have three winners. And I must say I am very happy about this outcome, as all three of you have done exceptionally well this year, so I'm very glad that we can finish the competition with all three of you as winners.

The winners will receive a 10 Tenths baseball cap, or alternatively a 10 Tenths polo shirt (only a couple left, and in small sizes only). Drop me a PM, and I'll send your details to Craig, who will then send the cap or polo to you.

Many thanks to Bononi for providing the software to make this competition very easy to manage. Thanks also to EERO for his help and efforts - especially at the beginning of the year - to get this competition going, and thanks to Wrex for helping out along the way.

Running this competition has been a fun experience for me, and I'll be happy to run it again next year.

Runar

[Wrex]

R, let be the 1st to thank you

I'm sure I speak for all concerned when I tell you how much we appreciated your efforts, and the speed at which you achieved them.

Many thanks my friend

[Number Juan]

[f1manoz]

Many thanks R for running this competition all year.

Talk about quick and efficient service. Well done mate!

[Guy Goddard2]

Great stuff R, your competiton was more exciting to follow than the racing itself!!.
Now about that wife I owe you.............




Regards


Guy

[Mr V]

Great stuff R, and congrats to the winners Valve Bounce, Eatapc and Inigo aswell.

[Speedworx]

Great final round for me, think its my best one of the season.

Great season overall, certainly made it more interesting while watching the Ferrari team winning

[ASCII Man]

I have points??

[Maxmil]

1 - 102 points = Valve Bounce
2 - 101 points = eatapc, Inigo Montoya

Or, if you prefer,

1 - 110 points = eatapc, Inigo Montoya
3 - 109 points = Valve Bounce

How close can you get guys? Hip Hip Hooray!! X 3

You should all adjourn to your local Pubs or whatever for a celebration.

Many kudos for R also. It is a big job, and you did it without a hitch for 17 rounds.

Cheers Guys!

I just realized that if you add up the points for the three of them, they all scored 211.

You had both Raikkonen and Button in your top-6.

[Number Juan]

so hang on...is the maximum amount of points for winning the world championship prediction 10 points? cos i got 10 points if it is.

god dammit...why can't i be good at the race-side

[Nicholas]

40th and 35th, just scraping it into the top 25%. Not bad, let's see about next year...

Thanks to R for being very efficient with the results.

[Kenny W.]

Thanks R,
The contest is about the only thing to make the F1 season interesting this year!!
5th equal is no disgrace. Looking forward to next year.

[EERO]

My congratulations to the winners! Bouncey, you did a terrific job and Congrats to eatapc and Inigo for making it a very close competition.


My Thanks to R for putting this together and doing such a great job.

Early in the year I suggested that the winner would recieve a prize and I didn't anticipate THREE winners, so give me a chance to sort this out and your prizes will be zooming to you soon.

Again, my thanks and congratulations!

[Cougar]

Thanx a million! Has been a great season... Shame I missed a few races at the beginning...

Thanx R for a great compotition.... I just hope we get to see you participate next here aswell... Im sure our fellow members wont mind... No use you doing all the work and having none of the fun... What so you other guys think????

[CleanTone]

Next year I'm gonna win

[Valve Bounce]

Well, let's just say that Ralf made it all possible when he forgot to save his engine.
I must thank Runar for this competition, because it certainly kept me interested in the F1 race. It even had me cheering for the two Ferraris and kept me from falling asleep. Without this comp, I would not be watching F1 races on TV.

[Valve Bounce]

Yes!! I think R should be competing also.

[Speed]

I missed Final Round, but heyyyyy, what the heck, next year I´ll fight for VB´s title !

Congrats VB !

[eatapc]

Congrats to Valve, and congrats to Inigo for catching me at the end. I was stupid for not sticking to the conservative strategy that worked for me all year long -- I wanted to win it outright in a blaze of glory. The 3-way tie for first was, in my case, pure dumb luck.

Let's hope for some real racing with less predictable results next year.

And, as usual, great job, R!!!

[Inigo Montoya]

Congrats guys. Good game. <shakes hands>

[mtpanorama]

Thank you very much R.

And i would like to send my comiserations to Wrex, Moff, AJ & F1manoz who all finished below me.

[Miss Hardt]

Congrats to the winners, but watch out for me the next year!

[Bononi]

Congrats to the winners !!!!

Thanks R, great job !

And don't forget next year guys ! Just to keep the competitive level and stop Valve's dominance... next season we will be adding a "ballast" to the winner of each round... erh... sorry, the winner will be penalized losing 10% of the points achieved in the next race, and will lose 10 places if he manages to win twice in a row... and... arghhh !!!!!
