Interforum League 2013

The season is about to start, so it's time for you to make your predictions for this year's interforum league.

If you are late joining, don't worry, you will get some points for each race you missed (usually 20), and you will still help the forum in the league.

The rules are the same as last year.

For anyone new to the game, here is how to play:
Register on zdkf1 and start your nickname with “v2_”. (If you forget, please edit your nickname here.)
Add the other entrants whose nicknames start with “v2_” as your friends.
For each race, predict the top 10 finishers, the pole position and pole time.
The prediction deadline is 10pm (GMT) on the Thursday before the race (except Monaco).
How the scoring works on zdkf1


Good luck everyone!

I shall try and give it a go again. The big problem last year was I kept missing the Thursday deadline. Made predictions for next weekend. Going for a Lewis Hamilton pole/ race double.

I'm happy to report that there were 52 predictions for Australia (up from 36 last year and 46 in 2011). The first race of the year is always the easiest for people to miss the deadline, so if you did forget, don't panic, it won't set you back too much. If you did predict but don't see your name in the top 10 or also rans, please tell me.
I'd like to give a warm welcome to new entrants f1onboard.

F1technical take the opening plaudits, flaccman winning on his debut, just edging out last year's Bernie-medal winner abnash from cliptheapex.
Reigning champions not606 have a race to forget, notching up just 3 points.
V2 don't place in the top 10 this race, but don't lose heart, it's only the first race!

Quali trophy
With the weather throwing off most predictions, only two people scored for the quali trophy: ramilas and soccerman17, both from cliptheapex, scored 1 point each.

Muzz606 match Red Bull by taking a 1,2 in Malaysia, but did the_roadie disobey team orders by finishing ahead of his wingman slyboogy?
Sportsvillef1 gets v2's first points of the season with 10th place.

Individual championship
Well done to abnash from cliptheapex for winning the individual championship. This is one better than last year when abnash was runner-up, missing out on the title by just three points.

Spoiler:

Abnash was 8th out of everybody on zdkf1, 29 points behind overall zdkf1 winner turbotom, so sushifiesta and rotaxmax remain the only interforum league players to ever win the zdkf1 championship:

6 tenths award
And a new award for the player who scored the most league points for his forum. I've never bothered with it before, as much like with the F1 driver's championship, it frequently goes to the same winner as under Bernie's medal system. However, this year the Alonso trophy for the six tenths award goes to abnash who scored a massive 124 points for cliptheapex.
