The 2011 10 'n' Pole Competition Launch

Post by 10 n Pole Admin » Sat Mar 12, 2011 10:15 am

The 2011 10 'n' Pole Competition is now ready to accept your picks.

Welcome to the eleventh season of the exciting competition 10 'n' Pole where you predict the top 10 finishers in addition to the Pole setter for each of the 20 Formula 1 races in 2011 (Bahrain may be rescheduled).

Last year we reached 3000 participants and we aim to top 3200 players in the competition this season. As always that needs your help so please spread the word!

You can register at anytime at http://www.newsonf1.com/10npole/register.htm

Those already in the competition do not need to register again.

For the first time in the competition, you can view who the players in the competition are picking live. Just click on the link on the submit page.

The competition remains free and in 2011 we are once again offering exciting prizes with all top 20 finishers winning a prize in addition to each individual round winner. There is also a prize for the perfect pick. If a player picks the top 10 finishers in the exact order as well as the pole setter, they win a $200 Gift Certificate from NewsOnF1.

The major prizes in 2011 are:

A Grand Prize of $250 (Gift Certificate from NewsOnF1 USA Online Store) to the overall winner of the competition

A Second Prize of $150 (Gift Certificate from NewsOnF1 USA Online Store) to the second placed player in the competition overall.

A Third Prize of $100 (Gift Certificate from NewsOnF1 USA Online Store) to the third placed player in the competition overall.

A Fourth Prize of $75 (Gift Certificate from NewsOnF1 USA Online Store) to the fourth placed player in the competition overall.

A Fifth Prize of $50 (Gift Certificate from NewsOnF1 USA Online Store) to the fifth placed player in the competition overall.

We'd like to thank all of you for your support and would ask you to consider purchasing your Formula 1 needs through NewsOnF1.

Hey, was just going through this, and saw that both Button/Hamilton and Vettel/Webber are marked as 1-2. Button and Hamilton are also 3-4 (I think).

Does this need fixing?
