2018 Pickems

[dupanton]

As nobody is starting anything for the pickems next year, I might do it again. I will try to post results earlier, though it will be short results like I did from the last couple of rounds. Just standings after every Rally.
If anyone wants to take over, feel free to do so!
I'm going to open a topic for the Monte Carlo now.

Any suggestions or ideas for 2018?

[dupanton]

I was thinking of changing the points system. I took it from previous years but frankly I don't think it's very logical.
This is the table as it is now (first colom is winner you picked etc, first row is winner of the rally etc):
C\P 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 10 7 3 1 1 1 1 1
2 8 9 6 3 1 1 1 1
3 6 7 8 5 2 1 1 1
4 5 4 6 7 4 1 1 1
5 4 3 3 5 6 3 1 1
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

How I would do it next year:
U\P 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 25 14 8 3 1 1 1 1
2 15 18 11 6 1 1 1 1
3 10 14 15 9 4 1 1 1
4 6 10 11 12 6 2 1 1
5 4 6 8 9 10 5 2 1
6 1 2 3 5 6 8 3 2
7 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 3
8 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 4


Also another idea, how about 1 drop result? For people who forget 1 pickem or have a bad score.

Please give your opinions!

[seb_sh]

I'm fine either way, your proposal seems to reward getting the exact place more so it would be more unpredictable. Not sure which i like best.

The drop score is a good idea, i think it would keep things more interesting, maybe even 2 dropped rounds would work.

Simple results is fine if it make it easier for you to do. Does anyone have an idea for a more automatic system?

[PLuto]

I should try to offer same system, which I am using in ERC. Which means automatic list of pickems throuhg system of this forum. All results are in one table, so it is easy to copy it into XLS file (which was made by makinen_fan).

[Rally Power]

Thanks for the effort mate. Your suggestions make total sense. Don’t bother taking time to show results and fell free to present them the way most suits you. We’re not difficult costumers! Cheers.

[dupanton]

Here are the results with the new point scoring system (you can find it in one of the previous posts).
1 result will be dropped from the mid way point of the season onwards.

[T16]

I wasn't registered on the system in time, so can my dropped result be the Monte, or will it need to be after the halfway point in the season?

Many Thanks.

Many Thanks.

Yes, Monte 0 score will be dropped. From the 2nd half of the season it will be counted in the standings, that is what I meant.

Excellent, thanks.

[dupanton]

Once again 114 participants for the pick'em in Sweden (thank you everyone!). Difficult rally to predict, so the scores are quite low. The average score is 20 points lower (25 against 45 in Monte). Victory for Evian (109th in Monte Carlo, 1st in Sweden), ahead of AnttiL (96th in Monte) and GunClo / cosmin_sb.

The results from Corsica are ready! Victory for dodge33cymru with a huge score of 70 points, followed by Andre Oliveira and me with 61 point.

In the general standing, Efthfil keeps the lead despite a bad score in Sweden that can be dropped later in the season. MTA moves up to second and closes the gap while Josef, sidrun and dodge33cymru share third.

Argentina?

[dupanton]

Argentina?

Thank you for the reminder, I thought it was only in 2 weeks...
Created the thread now!

[dupanton]

The results from Argentina are ready. Victory for Quest and metko74, closely followed by ToyotaFan95 and mrpuncture.

https://image.ibb.co/jDRnDn/R5_1.png (https://ibb.co/fEEw67)

https://image.ibb.co/iohG67/R5_3.png (https://imgbb.com/)

In the overall standings, dodge33cymru jumps from 3th to 1st. Atko5 makes a big jump from 7th to 2nd with an excellent score in Argentina, while previous leader Efthfil drops to 3th. But counting with the dropscore, he would still hold the lead.

Portugal results are ready! Very low scores after the mayhem. Picking Ogier, Tanak, Latvala, Meeke, Paddon or Mikkelsen gave 0 points.
Harriswrc wins with 48 points, in front of LeeHendrie and Lousada.

Ouch, lost my obvious score to drop now.

[dupanton]

I'm having troubles with the document with the previous results... So currently have to do everything again... Will get it online in the next week or so ;)

[spiderem]

Results after Finland ?

[dodge33cymru]

Just out of interest, has anyone else's phone dictionary learned suggestions for pickems?

If I type the number '1' on my phone, the next word it suggests is Ogier, after that it suggests '2'.

At the moment, if I type the number 1 and then take my dictionary's suggestions, I get:

1 Ogier 2 Neuville 3 Tanak 4 Mikkelsen 5 Suninen 6 Lappi 7 Evans 8 Veiby

[dupanton]

Missed my own deadline for the Germany pick'ems by 5 minutes... I posted my picks, but if you guys want it, I don't count them, no problem.

[T16]

I missed one of the rounds because I was a few minutes late and I didn't ask or expect to change.
I know it's your game and you do an incredible job. but rules are rules I guess. With this in mind, I think your Germany pickems shouldn't count.

Sorry mate.

[dnb]

For the effort and work you've done with the pickems this year I think we can let this one go (just don't be late again). I've missed many pickems and I don't mind.

[dupanton]

No problem, will not count it!

[T16]

Hi,

hate to ask, but any idea when we may see Finland and Germany results?

Thanks..

All three total podium guys were very consistent, but no podium on any event...
