View Full Version : Your choice of pickems series for 2008

As we have this year, there will again be 8 'official' pickems series running in 2008. But to make things fair there will be a vote on which forums get pickems.

Note at this time we are just choosing which forums have pickems, there will be further votes within forums to decide which series will have pickems if a forum covers more than one series e.g. touring cars.

It's a multiple choice poll and you can choose as many or as few options as you like, but remember that ticking all of them effectively means your vote is wasted!

With European Rally I really mean IRC, It should have been a option.

Why are all those people voting for GP2 and subsequently never play in it :mad: Rather give us GT Racing again. Also I want IRC pickems but I can't choose them :mad:

Let's drop GP2 & Motorcycle pickems! Their respective moderators deliver race results with considerable delay (as it is the case now!). I think this should be an equally important aspect in people's choice about what pickems to be run next year.

Mark, Mihai:

Maybe if I took charge of GP2 pickems outside this top-8 system could be a sollution to this. I'm running a GP2 prediction competition at multiple forums (such as Ten-Tenths, F1-Live, GlobalF1) and could have no problems to add motorsport.com into it. And I have almost no delay to deliver results (no more than 3-4 days).

You are welcome to run the GP2 pickems but it would have to be using this system.

As far as I am concerned, you could take charge of GP2 right now. The last round of the series happened one month ago and we still don't know who is the 2007 GP2 pickems champion, with at least 4 members in contention after the penultimate round.

Mark, as many people have suggested, IRC is probably the 2nd biggest thing in rallying in 2008, but not featured on the poll. Is there anything that can be done for that anymore???

Mark
30th October 2007, 13:08
Let's just say nothing has been ruled out at this stage :)

I also think IRC should have his own pickems :D

If we say yes, will you seriously take care of it ? You or anybody else ? ;)

I'm sorry, but my schedule won't allow it as much as I would like to do it. I hope there is someone who could, because the series is growing fast and the amount of discussion it has allready generated suggest that the pickems would attract more players than some of the series do now.

Since the IRC championship now comes under the "World Rallying" section, perhaps we'll have a further vote to choose between WRC pickems or IRC pickems in 2008. I think the WRC will win though, based on the popularity of the series.

However, if it's possible, I would happily run IRC pickems alongside the WRC pickems, but they wouldn't count towards the overall pickems championship.

OUT
A1GP
European Rally
GT Racing
British & Irish Rally

Asia-Pafic et al Rally
Karting.

I can confirm IRC will be a guest pickems alongside WRC but only if we have a full time person to run it.

Nice. Hopefully next year it is possible to vote for that series to be included in the overall pickems as well.

2008 it is a guest pickems. For 2009 it will have to fight it out with all the rest.

As to IRC vs WRC, why not have a separate poll to decide it ?

Waste of time, at the moment IRC doesn't have a chance against WRC ;)

There is no need. IRC is confirmed for 2008.

Damn, voting is over! I should have made half dozen clones to vote for anything but GP2 Series.

Last year there was a Portuguese member who took care of European Rallying pickems, updating entry lists regularly and delivering race results at warp speed. Now we have to wait again for months to have updated results of these ****ty GP2 pickems with 20 participants per round.
