Badger GP *Free Fantasy F1*

Post by Sport Billy »

Nice fun game that seems to reward with points in lots of ways. Points for cars, drivers and moving through the field. Transfers through the season as well. Looks really good with some prizes to be had.

You can pay to 'go pro' and remove ads etc, but it seems perfectly workable as it is

Fiso league set up

http://badgergp.com/game/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

FISO F1

Code - 427695

For those who don't want to pay a tenner to play!

Edited with correct code!

Never played fantasy F1 before but looks interesting enough - I like the combination of traditional fantasy points based on results + predictions points.

Took an email to badger h/q to get a password though. They seem to be a bit buried under the mound of late entries.

F1 FISO BadgerGP.png
After Malaysia

Image

to see which Drivers/Teams you chose in first 2 GP , do I have to go Pro???
what's the point of being in a league, if you can just see the total scores?
I'd like to know how the other teams did better than mine :mrgreen:

at least, if they got more points thru predictions, or thanks to better team picks
(maybe I'm used to FPL too much)

BTW:
Hi! :D
sorry for intruding in late unannounced

let's say in Australia I did a ...Manor! :wink:

It says in the FAQ that they don't show you the details of anyone else's picks or score breakdowns (you can still view all of your own for any previous race though)

Re: Badger GP *Free Fantasy F1*

Post by MoSe »

thank you both :)

I had read the Player's Guide,
but only cursorily glanced into the FAQ, my fault :mrgreen:

I figure it's covered here...
Q. Why can’t I see more stats on the stats page?
  • A. Limited stats for drivers performances are included for each race to help you make judgements when changing your line up.
    We won’t disclose such as the best driver/car combination for a race since this is up to you to work out!
Q. I cannot see the Game Statistics data
  • A. Stats are only available after the first race (Australia) and you need a Badger GP PRO Membership to compete in the PRO Championship – join up here.
Q. Can I see the winning teams driver and car lineup?
  • A. In short, no! We will not disclose competitors tactics – it’s the nature of the game to figure this out for yourself
"figure it out for myself..."?
hhmmm... ok that's one side of the coin, will have to get used to it

sooo,,, even if I pay for PRO, i'll get "more" stats, but not "all" stats, and above all, not my *competitors* stats, not even those in the league I'm in??? meh

I understand someone else's picks could allow you to copy their team for following races,
but predictions are something anew every race and not restricted by budget, so there would be nothing "secret" to copy...
at least a breakdown between Team picks points (Race+Quali+Bonus) and Prediction Points...

OK, without disclosing any unknown detail :wink: , here's our ranking, just reporting each GP total points

Code: Select all

P Team              Manager     GP1 GP2 Tot2  GP3 Tot3
1 Crispspeed F1     crispybits  150 150  300  190  490
2 Clearly No Way    Canary Yel. 151 156  307  127  434
3 Psycho F1 racing  psychokm    152 127  279  136  415
4 HealsF1           adheal79    166 115  281   96  377
5 Button Vroom      Marc Wood   123 108  231  117  348
6 Surprised Racers  Surprised    75 109  184  160  344
7 Gilles forever    MoSe          - 131  131  162  293
8 Bloodaxe United   Shaggy365    59 103  162   85  247
9 Really pits st'd  vbu          72  76  148   53  201
For instance, in Malaysia I got 0p from predictions, so my 131p were all from the team
while now I got 122p from the team, and 40p from Predictions
  • I had 0 SC, and it came out 2 laps from finish :(
    I also had a punt on 3rd place which didn't pay out, 20p lost there that's my fault
I wonder crispy did you get 70-80p from predictions? That would mean our team picks paid off similarly
Or did you get just 40-50? In such case you'd have outscored me significantly with team picks
Not that it would change my future tactics, it's just to know it :mrgreen:
imho not knowing even just this split between the two basics and really different elements of the score, takes out some awareness (and enjoyment) of what's going on in the game :?
oh, well, I'll get used and work my way thru it

on to Bahrain now! :D

I got 60 from predictions and 130 from my picks in China
10 from predictions and 140 from my picks in Malaysia
40 from predictions and 110 from my picks in Australia

(I don't think it matters that you see this breakdown because I may have done changes in every round, but I do see why the game organisers don't give it - it also means you can't watch the GP thinking "I hope Grosjean retires cos Crispy has him and I don't" which is something I wish fantasy football didn't do to me, I don't want to hope for someone to fail just cos my FF rival has them - well, unless they're an Arsenal player but then I'm happy for them to fail by default :lol: )

I have a list of the possible combinations (within budget) in the game and the score for each possible combo (all 91,000-odd of them), I've pulled out some trends for the picks portion of the game that you all might find interesting (or not, might just be me that's the massive geek....):

- Mercedes are in all of the top 100 best scoring combos.

- If you add together the 4 former world champions best 100 scoring combo appearances (Vettel, Raikkonen, Button, Alonso), they can be beaten by one of the Manor drivers on his own.

- Hulkenberg and Perez are not only team-mates, they also appear in exactly the same number of top 100 scoring combos (10).

- Red Bull appear in less of the top 500 best scoring combos than they have won World Championships in the last decade.

- There is a rookie driver in more of the top 500 possible scoring combos than Lewis Hamilton.

- There is only one driver in more than half of the top 1000 scoring combos.

I will answer questions, but reserve the right to be cryptic (I'm not giving out all my secrets :lol: )

thanks!
odd how you always ended up with picks scores rounded exactly to 10 :)

I'm happy to know now that you outscored me by 9p in Mal and by 8p in Chn
(and also by 30p in predictions combined, but that has no impact on my eventual team changes your competition might induce)

I think I'll have to recur to brute force too :wink:
  • I did something similar by listing in excel all the possible 5-team combos in FPL, and then crossing them with my own CleanSheet projections from the Jan WC till the end of the season, by picking the best 3 each GW.... :shock:
one last thing: I took for granted so far that the prices won't change, is that correct?

Lol, I don't wanna be the one always raising a fuss
but now I realised they've docked me 15p from the China result :shock: :?:
they got counted after the GP, alas I reported the ranking in text and not in picture

now they've decreased my China total score
it's as if they took out the 15p I earned with one of my drivers
or if they took out the 5+5+5 quali points from all 3...

funny thing, the single Drivers, Cars and Predictions scores are all correct
it's the sum that it's now wrong! a computer program which can't do the basic maths? :lol:
