Allo everypeeps!

Bernie Crispystone here to announce the start of a brand new side game for the last 12 GWs of the season. It's based loosely around F1 but for added fairness you're all going to be racing in the same "reasonably priced car" from Top Gear.

I need 20 entrants please for this 6 race test season to iron out any kinks with a view to making a full 19 race season next year. The only requirement is that you have your team correctly linked in your FPL button.

How it works:

Odd numbered GWs are for qualifying. Even numbered GWs are the races.

In qualifying your GW score will determine your grid placement. In the event of a tie the positions will be determined by most goals scored (OGs will count negative for this so beware all you Pantsil owners), then by least transfers made, then by most bonus points, and if after all that two or more players are still equal then I'll toss a coin or throw a dice or something random-ish.

Getting a good placement in qualifying will earn you a bonus during the race GW, and getting a bad qualifying position will incur a penalty. This will be as follows:

1st - For every full 5 points scored, you score an extra point.
2nd - For every full 6 points scored, you score an extra point.
3rd - For every full 7 points scored, you score an extra point.
4th - For every full 8 points scored, you score an extra point.
5th - For every full 9 points scored, you score an extra point.
6th - For every full 10 points scored, you score an extra point.
7th - For every full 12 points scored, you score an extra point.
8th - 15th - No bonus/penalty
16th - For every full 12 points scored, you incur an 1 point penalty.
17th - For every full 10 points scored, you incur an 1 point penalty.
18th - For every full 9 points scored, you incur an 1 point penalty.
19th - For every full 8 points scored, you incur an 1 point penalty.
20th - For every full 7 points scored, you incur an 1 point penalty.
21st - For every full 6 points scored, you incur an 1 point penalty.
22nd - For every full 5 points scored, you incur an 1 point penalty.

During the race GWs players FPL scores, modified by the qualifying bonuses/penalties will determine the race results. Ties will be decided in the same way as during qualifying. The top 10 players will score Formula FPL points based on current F1 championship scoring as follows:

1st - 25 FFPL points
2nd - 20 FFPL points
3rd - 15 FFPL points
4th - 10 FFPL points
5th - 8 FFPL points
6th - 6 FFPL points
7th - 5 FFPL points
8th - 3 FFPL points
9th - 2 FFPL points
10th - 1 FFPL points

The person with the most FFPL points at the end of the season will be crowned the FFPL world champion. In the event of a tie I will use the F1 countback system, looking for the most 1st places, the most 2nd places, etc until we have a winner.

Drivers, start your engines!

Great idea. Just thinking, could you have it that if one of your players gets sent off or misses a penalty during qualifying week, it's like having to replace your engine or gear box after qualifying and means a 5 place penalty?

I was thinking along those lines for a coupla things, but for the first 2 races I'll keep it simple. I may introduce extras like this in the last 4 races and see how they work out.

Remember this is a test season peeps, it should be a fun side game this year but the main point is to see how we go and modify/tweak if necessary with the intenion of running a full season next year.

Nice - mine is a little more simple, but I will be adding a coupla more elements. One step at a time tho, lets see how much time the admin takes me for the first two race weekends before I decide how/what to add in.

Only 4 spots left - grab em while they're hot!

A slight derailment to my own thread to wish Robert Kubica a speedy recovery from what appears to be some very serious injuries

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsp ... 388940.stm

Lets hope he can regain full use of that hand/arm and return to F1 in 2012
