This one isn't ABOUT pickems, it IS pickems. :)

[Mintexmemory]

Yes but this isn't discussing pickems, it's providing predictions under a specific thread heading - so do us all a favour and delete this post and your's above. Unless you want to make a prediction stay off this thread!!!! ;-p (Caution you are entering a heavy irony zone!!!)

Jaja, Alexamateo, WRC 1600 and Rallyper - Which part of 'Entries to be posted before the 1st start time of SS1 on Thursday 09.02.12.' did you not understand. The time was 1900 UK and you are all late!! However, as this is just for fun and none of the other selections have lost a driver during SS1 I will allow the additional 4 entries in the spirit of sportsmanship (and because you are all clearly barking up the wrong tree :-) ). Clearly people need a week to get their Pickem entry in on time (and even then some have been known to miss!!)

Ah yes, but there still have to be rules! (power crazed thread-owner glint in eye)
Repeat of UK Comedian, Al Murray, routine:
Q Where would we be if we didn't have rules?
A (all the audience shout) France

How do you count the scores? I can help if others are busy

[Mintexmemory]

Hi the Matrix is as follows: Points in ( )

Choice Actual Result
1 1(10) 2 (8) 3(6) 4(5) 5 (4) 6(3) 7 (2) 8 (1)
2 1 (7) 2 (9) 3(7) 4(4) 5(3) 6(2) 7(1) 8(1)
3 1 (3) 2 (7) 3(8) 4(6) 5(3) 6(2) 7(1) 8 (1)
4 1 (1) 2 (3) 3(5) 4(7) 5(5) 6(3) 7(1) 8 (1)
5 1 (1) 2 (1) 3(2) 4(4) 5(6) 6(4) 7(2) 8 (1)
6 1 (1) 2 (1) 3(1) 4(1) 5(3) 6(5) 7(3) 8 (1)
7 1 (1) 2 (1) 3(1) 4(1) 5(1) 6(2) 7(4) 8 (2)
8 1 (1) 2 (1) 3(1) 4(1) 5(1) 6(1) 7(2) 8 (3)

So if the choice you picked as 5th place wins you score 1 pt, if it is actually 5th you score 6 pts and if 6th you score 4 pts.

Dying to see the result

I've mis informed you on the reading of the matrix
Pred Points for actual place
1 1(10) 2 (8) 3(6) 4(5) 5 (4) 6(3) 7 (2) 8 (1)
2 1 (7) 2 (9) 3(7) 4(4) 5(3) 6(2) 7(1) 8(1)
3 1 (3) 2 (7) 3(8) 4(6) 5(3) 6(2) 7(1) 8 (1)

[EuroTroll]

Congrats mm1!

Then again, I guess the real winner is Mintexmemory, since mm1 was way over the deadline?

[mm1]

Oh wow, that was just fun, and I have no problem if I get dsq because of that.

[Mintexmemory]

Congratulations mm1 but don't expect any leniency in future ..... mmmm 4 pt deduction for entry after SS1 is complete I think ;-)
Thanks to Slowson for the results service
Thanks to all the competitors for joining in
Thanks to Bruvver John for not closing down the thread!
If we don't get an official replacement for Mexico I'll be happy to run this again - Areba, areba, andele!!
For those people who don't 'get' pickems - the big attraction for me is the ability to see who can rise above national and brand loyalties and correctly analyse the current state of play (modesty forbids.....)

[A FONDO]

Without Solberg's puncture he would have had 4 poinst more so still first with the penalty :p :

Shout louder I can't hear you all the way down there at the bottom :p

I was relying on surprises which nobody else chose so I could eventually win by a stunning margin :D

How much deduction if the entry is after SS9 and after Loeb's 2minutes off?? ;)

@ Mintexmemory, If you want to do the forum rally pickems, just send a message to Mark and have a talk.
