5AF Fantasy F1 2021
Posted: Sun Mar 21, 2021 4:34 pm
Welcome to the fifth-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.
• 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 or misses races due to illness or injury, you will no longer earn points for that driver.
• [RULE CHANGE] Given the potential for races to be canceled, I'm adopting the tiebreaker system that I proposed midway through last season. Ties will be broken by looking at the points earned in each race by each fantasy participant and giving the highest point earner on a given week "first place," the next highest "second place" and so on. Ties are broken by whoever has more first-place finishes, and if necessary it goes on to second place, third place, etc. If there's still a tie, I will perform a coin flip.
• [RULE CHANGE] Because we are not picking tiebreaker races, your team must be unique. Please check what lineups have already been selected by other posters.
• 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).
