Please note you do NOT have to read this! ^^

Here are the rules and proceedures for the Fantasy League;

Each player will receive a number ( 1-22 ) - as will each of the drivers. e.g Member - Red_Bull - Number 8

Note: Numbers are not in any necessary order.

As soon as there are enough players, I will select numbers for the members and drivers. I will then give out the numbers and announce your driver, along with his team. e.g Red_Bull - Takuma Sato - Super Aguri

So how do you receive points? This will be the Drivers Championship System.

If your driver finishes 1st in a race, he will receive 10 points.

2nd = 8 points.

3rd = 6 points

4th = 5 points

5th = 4 points

6th = 3 points

7th = 2 points

8th = 1 point

9th = 0 points

10th = 0 points

and so on.

If your driver fails to finish the race, the following will occur;

Retirement (Crash) = -3 points.

Technical fault = -2 points.

Other = 3 points.

Constructors Championship rules -

1st-8th positions receiving the same amount of points above (check the Drivers Championship points system) If two drivers from the same team finish in the points system, the points received will be added.

A one-two finish (i.e both drivers in your team finish 1st and 2nd) = + 2 points.

Retirement (Crash) = -3 points.

Techincal fault = - 2

Other = -3 points.

Double retirement (i.e both drivers failing to finish the race) - 5 points.

Note: If your driver does not participate due to any reason on race day, the driver taking his place will be your driver for that race.

Please Read The Rules Above

If you have any problems with rules, or notice something that hasn't been explained, please contact me over this thread or e-mail.

Please reply over this thread if you want to join in with the fun. When/If we have enough players, i'll start setting everything up and i'll give you your driver and team. Please sign up, even if you aren't the biggest F1 fan!

Thankyou. Red_Bull :)

A lot of hard work for me to do after the races, but after Button's first win last season, i've been glued to the ''sport''.

Just a shame its over 6 weeks away until the action begins.
