Pretty consistent over the season, but no podium... ;) :)

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.
This is what we both agreed weeks ago and we both are satisfied with the years we had.
Me too can give some advices how I used to do. Itīs 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.
