5AF Fantasy F1 2018
Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2018 4:50 pm
Welcome to the second-annual 5AF Fantasy F1 league.
• The competition is open to all posters. Welcome aboard!
• You each have $40 million to spend on your team.
• You may select as many drivers as your budget allows. There is no advantage gained from not spending your entire budget.
• Teams do not have to be unique.
• Rule change: You are selecting by driver. If a driver switches teams, your points earned will follow that driver to the new team. If a driver is replaced, you will no longer earn points for that driver.
• Each player must choose two Grand Prix weekends. This set must be unique if you have the same driver lineup as someone else. Rule change: These two weekends will earn double points only in the event there is a tie at the end of the season. In the event the inclusion of double points still results in a tie, the tiebreaker will follow the same pattern as the F1 drivers’ championship tiebreaker, which is the number of first-place finishes earned by all your drivers, then the number of second-place finishes, and so on.
• The points earned by your selected drivers are the same as the points earned by the F1 drivers’ championship (1st place - 25 points; 2nd -18; 3rd - 15; 4th -12; 5th - 10; 6th - 8; 7th - 6; 8th - 4; 9th - 2; 10th - 1).
Reply here with your driver selections and your unique set of two race weekends by 11:59pm on Friday, March 23rd . You may edit your selections up to that time.
