Jacfan,
The NewsOnF1 Forums started in January 2005. The 8 'n' Pole Competition was announced publicly at the start of the 2001 season. (Impressive gkaytaz given that you only joined the competition recently
)
8 'n' Pole or 6 'n' Pole as it used to be called actually started as the Pick 3+ competition. It was a personal competition were staff and friends at a certain company participated. At that time only the top 3 finishers where picked plus the pole.
Pick 3+ started in 1997 and in 2001 it was made public and was incorporated into the NewsOnF1.com site. It was called 6 'n' Pole allowing players to pick the top 6 finishers plus Pole. (The top 6 being the point scorers).
When the top 8 finishers scored points, the competition was changed to 8 'n' Pole to reflect that.
On the right hand side of any 8 'n' Pole page you'll see links to the results from all the past seasons.
