Well can’t blame you. Based on his performances so far on tarmac it was a long shot to put him first :DQuote:

Here we are, end of another season. I will take time to thank my fellow contributor, Rallyper. He has been responsible for opening and closing the prediction threads on time. It has been a great help to share the workload, leaving my contribution to just one evening on Rally weekend. Cheers!
Now, without further ado:
Rally Japan
Fisulino takes the last victory of the season. Moto69 and Backa follow in 2nd and third. Quite high scores for all three, considering the race result.

Overall
Our champion for 2024 is CeskyOndra! Lankey555 had been in the lead for more than half a season but CeskOndra did to him what Tänak failed to do Neuville this round - victory is his by 4 points! Lankey - I'm afraid your title ended in the ditch with Tänak. Had he finished on Sunday, the title would have been yours.... Alright, I will not rub it in for longer, better luck next year! And all hail our new champion!

Hi Kradovech and Rallyper, at first, I wanted to say thanks to you guys for organising this event for us! It is nice to have this kind of a little "competition" every rally.
Thanks to Lankey for an entertaining fight during the season, I knew that I had to go all in for Japan pickems and in the end, the luck was on my side.
This was also my first "full season" in pickems here, so I'm surprised by the result and I'm very very happy too!
Bring on 2025!
Can’t believe I fell over on the last round 😢
Pretty consistent over the season, but no podium... ;) :)Quote:

Huge congrats to CeskyOndra, only your first championship season and already a champion, most impressive! Thanks to Kradovech and Rallyper for making this each and every season, it's really appreciated; I'm aware it's a lot of work, it was a lot of fun this year, and also thank you for not changing your point scoring system to follow the one in the WRC ;)
With the season behind us, I have an anouncement to make. Me and Rallyper have decided to make this the last year of organizing the pickems. It has already been six years since we took over and now it is time to step back and enjoy the simpler role of a participant. I would like to thank all the participants over the years for making it an interesting journey.
We do hope that the pickems here dont end with us, hence we are making the anouncement early to find the next volunteer(s). After all this is not the first or event the second rotation of organizers. I am more than willing to share my experience and give a few tips. First one is that you may want to consider working in tandem as well. Rallyper has been responsible for opening and closing the pickems thread. It might not sound like a big thing but it for me it has meant that I had to invest just one evening over the rally weekend, not having to worry about forgetting any deadlines. I believe I have kept at it for as long as I have because of it.
About the technical part - I have been managing the results in Excel and I am willing to share my spreadsheets should there be interest. However they are only half-automated and a bit messy, one would need the basic understanding of the Excel formulas. Basically you would need the skilles to make something similar from scratch. Hardly rocket science but some experience would be needed. Even then I would need to explain what the non-automated part of the spreadsheet included.
Thanks for the statement Kradovech.Quote:

Me too can give some advices how I used to do. It´s most about copy paste and having your calendar in your mobilephone in good shape.
Hoping for Pickems to go on in th future.
Yours truly

Ill give this a little bump. In the meantime I have put together a guide how to use my excel spreadseets. If anyone is interested in taking a look, PM me. As I wrote a above, some understanding of excel formulas is required.
