FIM Winners Game 2012

I am in a remote location and I don't have a proper computer ;-) , so I will open this competition without extra ceremony. Lol, you will have to read the rule book looking at the 2011 edition, because I am writing this in an app on what the humans know as iPad.

Remember, yiu have to nominate one, two, three or four candidates to win the race. The only goal is to guess the winner. If you put one candidate, you get 4 points, if you put two candidates you get 3 points, with three candidates you get 2.5 points and with four candidates you get two points.

I will do my guess now just in case I cannot do it later:

MGP: Lorenzo, Stoner
M2: Marquez, Iannone
M3: Vinales, Cortese

I love races in which expectations are dashed, at least in quali. Stoner got it right and then went for a little more and went too far. oops! Hayden is chattering and understeering but loves the bike's high top end. Rossi is busy copying Nicky's set up formula. Go Nicky!

Thanks for the good intro Frostie. gotta start somewhere!

I could have chosen marcus's guess except exchanging Stoner with Lorenzo... Anyway M2 and M3 are going to be an unknown in this first race! BTW, I will post BOTTY's guess later if I have time, after all he/it was the star last season ;-)

Interesting how BOTTY's calculations gives a reasonable guess even in this first round.

Ooops, the results are here! I promise I will not be so fast in future rounds

And once again ghinzani won a round. His faith in that promising Vinales was rewarded. We have get it ok massively in the three cats. Well, except two black swans that I am not going to comment in this moment

BTW, in case of tie in a round, the earlier guess appears ahead. BOTTY is supposed to guess just after the qualifyings, so <heit> was the earliest guesser this time.
Code:
QATAR    Mo3 Mo2 MGP = TOT
===========================
ghinzani 4   3   3   = 10
BOTTY    3   3   3   =  9
Schummy  3   3   3   =  9
jhansen  3   3   3   =  9
Tazz     3   2.5 3   =  8.5
marcus   4   4   0   =  8
Saleen   2.5 2.5 3   =  8
Dani     3   0   3   =  6
===========================
The tables for the categories are very obvious in this first GP. But let's enjoy these moments of glory.
Code:
·-----------------------------------·
| Moto3:         |   Moto2:         |              
| marcus   4     |   marcus   4     |

| BOTTY    3     |   Schummy  3     |                  
| Schummy  3     |   jhansen  3     |                  
| jhansen  3     |   ghinzani 3     |                  
| Dani     3     |   Tazz     2.5   |

| Saleen   2.5   |   Dani     0     |
·----------------+------------------·                               
| MotoGP:        |   Total:         |
| BOTTY    3     |   ghinzani 10    |
| Schummy  3     |   BOTTY     9    |

| Dani     3     |   jhansen   9    |
| Tazz     3     |   Tazz      8.5  |

It's more a sense of shock... one is real, ones virtual. But I expect the pressure will cause me to choke... in both

Don't let Dani impress you. He just wants to anihilate you psychologically and win the game. Everyone of us wants to do it, in fact.

LOL, I'm going to copypaste myself from last season's game to remind the rules.



2012 SUMMER CUP

RULES
(Except the part where money is involved)


----------------------------------------------

Object of the game:
You have to guess the winner. You can put one, two, three or four riders as winners.

Scoring:
If you put one rider and he wins, you get 4 points.
If you put two two riders and one of them wins, you get 3 points.
In case you put 3 names and one wins, you get 2.5 points.
If you choose to put four names, and one of them wins, you get 2 points.
If you fail to guess the winner, you get 0 points.

Time limit:
Guesses can be done until one hour before the official time for the star of the first race (125, 250 or MotoGP, whatever it is). Usually it will be one hour before 125 race. Even if the race is delayed because unusual circumstances, the time limit will not be changed.

Remarks:
Every FIM GP three guesses can be entered: for 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP. Those are three different games, so you can enter only one or two categories if you like.

Apart from the three classifications (125, 250 and MotoGP), I'll put a "global" classification adding all of them.

The key of the game is to predict the winner putting the least possible numbers of candidates. But if you put too few riders, you risk getting 0 points!

There will be two separate championships: Summer Cup until mid season and Autumn Cup in the second part of the season.

In case of tie, it is ahead who has better score in the last round, then in the second last round, etc. If there is still a tie in "Total" category, it is ahead who has more points in MotoGP, then in 250cc. Finally, if all of that fails, it is ahead who has guess earlier in the last round (and here there are not further possible ties!).

Example:

Let's suppose you put the following guesses and the real winners are Aggarawanda, Poggiali and Gibernau:
125 = Angel Nieto, Aggarawanda, marcus (you get 2.5 points for Aggarawanda)
250 = Kocinsky, Phil Read (you get 0 point, you failed)
MotoGP = Gibernau, Agostini (you get 3 points for Gibernau)

If you need to change your guess, please post another one (don't edit). Remember the limit is one hour before the scheduled start of the first race (125cc in this case), any further edit after it will un-habilitate the post.

Now, we begin properly with the second round. Probably this is one of the few competitions where rules are announced *after* the competition has started. But you know that is the lesser sin in this game.

Ladies, gentlemen and robots, start the wallets!
