Well, only Danni and I decided to have fun with the pool this year. Danni is beating me by a country mile, but it is still early days.....and I just keep telling myself that!
But Earl....I have to gain a minimum of 5 points to stand any chance at all of winning the pool. Is the Autosport route really going to be of any help to me?
And now that I've shot my mouth off, look who is trouncing me? I'm kind of wondering if I should adjust the scoring a bit for round 2 though. Do you think it would be better to go with "each pick gets the points they've earned" and then plus or minus 1 for getting in the right/wrong position? That would definitely get us both out of the minuses and make me look like less of a loser for now anyway! :)
Scores please. :D
ReplyDeleteI'll send you the spreadsheet - tried putting it in here, but it doesn't format in a way that makes it readable. Needless to say:
DeleteDanni: -2
Lila: -6
This clearly isn't working for me!
I confess... I went the Autosport route.... It is pretty good: http://predictor.autosport.com

ReplyDeleteSorry, I wan't clear. I mean I play their fantasy F1 game :-) [although it is very tough]
ReplyDeleteOh! Well, I didn't really want THAT many people knowing how ignorant of F1 I truly am, so I decided to go small instead! :)
ReplyDeletehaha...yeah I went the Autosport route too, for F1. And judging by my performances so far, I think I'll be happy if I can finish in the top 10000...
ReplyDeleteAlso doing sportscar tipping through 10-tenths. Came third one year, and won Le Mans too...Not off to a great start though this year :(
I'm ranked 6233 which isn't as bad as I thought considering I have got almost nothing right!
ReplyDeleteI won't mention my Autosport rank then...needless to say the number is a lot higher...
ReplyDeleteBut on a brighter note, I won round 2 of the 10-Tenths sportscar tipping, bringing me into the top 10 overall...
With Sportscars, don't you just assume an Audi 1-2-3???
ReplyDeleteWell, yes! You pick the pole car and winner of each class there...so even with Audi winning, you can only pick one of them!
ReplyDeleteGT is usually a hard one to pick...
OK. Your email got my attention. Minus 6 to minus 8; All I can say is that negative 8 is greater in magnitude that negative 6.
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping score.
That just makes you more of a loser than I am! :)
ReplyDeleteIn other news, in the Castrol/Autosport rankings, I jumped 5489 spots in Bahrain #notsoembarassingrightnow =)
ReplyDeleteWell that's impressive!

ReplyDeleteCongrats to Danni for waxing me in the first round! I bow to your superiority!
ReplyDeleteDumb luck. Where do I stand now?
