The points would have been handed out already, and I would have used a slightly different format.
1) Points for all drivers guessed, that actually finished in the range of the 8 last classified finishers.
2) Points given in a sliding scale 8 points for having driver in correct spot, 7 for being on of, 6 for being two of, 5 for being 3 of, etc etc etc.
The French Grand Prix would then hav scored:
Kapel - 31 points
JayVee - 24 points *
Lloyd - 22 points
K-D - 22 points
<TK> - 13 points
There were a couple of entries that could not be considered, since they failed to give the positions that the posters guessed the drivers to finish in.
* The fair JayVee had select "RS" to finish both 9th and 10th, the points have been issued based on this being a typing error, and awarded 7 points for the last "RS", under the presumption that this was in actuality "TS".
If I was running the new game
That is actually very close (almost exact actually) to how i was going to score it, but i was only going to allow people to be off by three maximum, and i was going to give ten points for every exact position, 8 for being one off, 6 for being two off, and 5 for being 3 off, any more off than that and you get zip, nothing, nada.........but your way could work too i suppose...
