Once again, I don´t really know what´s wrong with me, I couldn´t pick Ogier as #1. Would have been easy way though, picking up 10 more points added to my current 19...

I'll take that! Can I ask where the scoring system is explained?

No you can not! It's made up as we go along of course!
Actually its a complex matrix giving 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3 if you get the exact picks in that order. If you pick someone who finishes in the top 8 but not in the right position the credit tails off, still giving most for picking the winner. If Makinen Fan has a few moments I hope he will post the matrix. The old system then awarded 250 points to the winner but we've kept to just the points actually scored to keep the contest tight.

If you go to the spreadsheet and change the sheet to one of the event (e.g. click MC at the bottom) you will see the point table.

Anyway here as well but is not shown properly:

Picked
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
A 1 10 7 3 1 1 1 1 1
c 2 8 9 6 3 1 1 1 1
t 3 6 7 8 5 2 1 1 1
u 4 5 4 6 7 4 1 1 1
a 5 4 3 3 5 6 3 1 1
l 6 3 2 2 3 4 5 2 1
7 2 1 1 1 2 3 4 2
8 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 3

Few examples:
If you picked Latvala to win, look at second row, 1st column (8 pts)
If you picked Loeb for win, look at 8th row and 1st column (1 pt)
If you picked Mikkelsen for 6th place, look at 3rd row, 6th column (1 pt)

What I would like to see in next event is more possibilities of drivers. Now there were only 3 WRC2-drivers "enabled" apparently. In some events (especially with little WRC entries) it may be possible for a R5 car to be 8th... For example count off Camilli's stage-times with mistakes and he would have been 10th, and there were not many retirements among works-drivers (the only works-driver missing in top 10 is Tanak). The chance of it happening is small, but it's there..

The problem is that I hard-coded the possibilities to be just 20 drivers. Mintex usually picks the most highly possible drivers to be in the top 10. The purpose of this was to have automatic highlight the wrong entries so that I can fix them easily (excel does not understand punctuation marks, some ppl spell Mikkelsen as Mikkelson etc.)
btw Your entry for MC is highlighted with red that is wrong because you chose Camili who was not in the list But made no difference in the end.

We can do with more possible picks if you like, but in the results sheets I will choose the top 10 + 10 with possible picks. Anyone choosing something else will get 0 points anyway. It's not a biggy
