5AF Fantasy F1 2019

Post by **Shyster** » Thu Mar 07, 2019 3:50 pm

Welcome to the third-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.
• 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. These two weekends will earn double points 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).

I'm waiting until tifosi posts so that he can't complain that I stole his team again.

This group plays so tight, it's fun. My main league is this exact same scoring, 16 players, and I am leading by 20 points.

In that league I have HAM/BOT which is so obviously the best team I didn't pick it here because the field is so small. In that other league I have 87 points.

P3 after two rounds, sitting closer to P1 than P4.

Nobody pinch me. I want to enjoy this for a bit.
