**GPX PREDICTIONS CONTEST 2007** Rules - discussion -ScoreTable
Posted by dada
Hello ( again ) mates
My Real name is Anthony.
I am moderator at the Greek forum Division of the Formula One Supporters Association (F.O.S.A.). This is the 4th year that we have a prediction contest at our Greek Forum.
GPx is a grate site – forum and IMO can (or must) have a prediction contest for the members.
The contest has a lot of fun (and Fans).
I propose to settle the contest at the gpx forum also and I offer some of my spare time to moderate this (if you want). I have all the Excel files that allow the calculation of the members’ points. This needs 1 hour for me every 15 days, which is something that I will be happy to do it.
Here is the Contest. (Please read carefully)

PREDICTION CONTEST CHAMPIONSHIP 2007
Each of your prediction must have :
-Prediction for the top 8 finishers at the F1 race
- Prediction for the driver who gets the pole position
- Prediction for the pole position lap time
- Prediction for the Driver who will make the fastest lap at the race
- Prediction for the fastest lap time at the race
HOW THE POINTS CONFERMENT GOES
for the top 8 race drivers
- 4 points for each driver that is at the right position
- 2 points for each driver that is +-1 position away from right one
- 1 point for each Driver that is at the top 8 but he is more than 1 position away from the right one
For the Pole position and the fastest lap
DRIVERS
- 1 point if you predict right the poleman
- 1 point if you predict right the driver that will make the fastest lap
TIME
- 0.5 to 1.5 points if you predict with declination +-500 ms ( 0.500 sec ) the lap time of the pole position
- 0.5 to 1.5 points if you predict with declination +-500 ms ( 0.500 sec ) the fastest lap time of the race
The “time points” use a “analog way” of points conferment. The closer the member predict the time the more points he get
The “math type” the gives the time points is :
TP = 1.5 – I MPT – RT I *0.002
TP : Time Points
MPT : Member Prediction Time
RT : Right time
I MPT – RT I : the always positive time difference ( no matter if the time difference is a positive or a negative number )
The member gets points from this section IF AND ONLY his time prediction has less than +-500 ms ( 0.500 sec ) time difference from the Pole of Fastest Pace lap time
Each of your prediction must have :
-Prediction for the top 8 finishers at the F1 race
- Prediction for the driver who gets the pole position
- Prediction for the pole position lap time
- Prediction for the Driver who will make the fastest lap at the race

EXAMPLE FOR A PREDICTION AND POINTS CONFERMENT
Members prediction:
TOP 8:
1.FM
2.RB
3.RS
4.JPM
5.DC
6.KR
7.JT
8.FA
POLE POSITION:
FM - 85159
FASTEST LAP:
RB - 86816
Official results
1. Τakuma Sato
2. Rubens Barrichello
3. Felipe Massa
4. Giancarlo Fisichella
5. Kimi Raikkonen
6. David Coulthard
7. Ralf Schumacher
8. Fermando Alonso
Pole position : Felipe Massa – 84500
Fastest Lap : Jenson Button – 87000
How the points goes :
TOP 8 Drivers
- Drivers in the correct position : 2
( RB and FA )
Points : 2 * 4 = 8
- Drivers in +-1 position away from the right one : 2
(KR – predicted 6th – finished 5th / DC – predicted 5th – finished 6th )
Points : 2*2 = 4
- Drivers in Top 8 but more than 1 position away from the final position : 2
( FM – predicted 1st – finished 3rd / RS – predicted 3rd – finished 7th )
POLE POSITION
Prediction : FM - 85159
Pole position : FM – 84500
Right Driver prediction : 1 point
Wrong Time prediction : 0 points ( 85.159 – 84500 = 659 > +_ 500 )
FASTEST RACE LAP TIME
Prediction : RB - 86816
Fastest Lap : JB – 87000
Wrong Driver : 0 points
Right time prediction : 86816 – 87000 = - 184 < +-500 )
so the points he gets from this one is : 1.5 – 184*0.002 = 1.132
TOTAL POINTS = 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1.132 = 16.134

CHAMPIONSHIPS
We can have 3 individual championships
***Points Championship***
Each driver gets the points what become from his prediction
( so the member at the example will get 16.134 points )
Due to the “bad look” that the 3 decimal numbers gives … the results at the total board will be announced in 2 decimals ( using Microsoft’s Excell rule )
***Team Championship ***
The 2 best performances for each Team supporters members gives their points to the F1 TEAM
Example
The top 3 Ferrari fans
Member A = 12.450
Member B = 12.163
Member C = 11.505
Ferrari takes : 12.450 + 12.163 = 24.613 points
* If a F1 team is supported by ONE member , gets ONLY his points
***Position Championship ( F1 Style )***
Using the results that everyone got for his prediction we can see the top 8 performances of each race .
P1 performance gets 10 points
2nd best gets 8 points
3rd best gets 6 points … etc ( using the real F1 points system )
I have all the excel files that do all this automatically …. I also have a small excel file ( which I will upload later ) that allows each member to calculate his points .

Nice idea, but too horrendously complicated for me, when we've got GridBids 
K*bots UK, specialist providers of 'fun science' Curriculum Enhancement days for Primary and Secondary schools in Britain.
Please find us on [en.wikipedia.org] for more information.
The main problems in those kinds of contest is the "equal points" matter
...but in this contest the "gap scaled" points in the pole and fastest time prediction almost minimalise this problem
Also after 3-4 races there is a very little possibility for 2 members to have the sam total SuM points OF each member
some exables

3rd? Not bad I guess betting that Kimi would win, set pole and set fastest lap were the big helpers, hehe. I admit I set a grid order kind out of nowhere though...hopefully I'll get it better for next race. Should've waited for the Friday test sessions to make a prediction.
