If you want to experience crushed mojo, drop down to last mf place in the standings. I'd think that after that you would get back in line for the roller coaster!Quote:

Scores wise, that's a tight race for all of us. My "risk factor" was slightly higher than Bagwan, so I finish ahead with equal points. Strange system sometimes!
But Bagwan ruled all of ZDK with his qualifying pick, and was only .028 off the actual pole time. Well done sir, and the first ZDK 1st ranking for pole or race this season.

Actually the overall is still fairly tight for the forum. I still have to subtract my points for not making picks in Monaco, but less than 30 points between everyone else.
My mf'n risk factor is that I'll be under that podium in Austria .
Hey Tazio, why are you not a Mf ?
Mf_Tazio sounds sooo much better
Oh , he's one serious Mf-er , that's for sure .Quote:

It might be an all around strange points weekend for all the ZDK picks!
Well after a race that none of us apparently saw coming, our scores compared to the ZDK pack were not very strong. But we sucked fairly evenly as a team, and there was only an 8 point spread from the first to the last place finisher here at the forums. Tazzy takes another win, and by a single point this time. But that's one more point over second than I had in France, so as they say, a win is still a win!

COD had the best qualification rank at 17th, which just proves that we weren't the only ones that didn't pick Leclerc. Somehow we all had the exact same risk factor in this race as well.

I'm actually still 18 points behind COD, since I haven't adjusted my score down for the lack of Monaco pick. It's just easier to go the math once at the end of the season. But for the rest of you, a 30 point spread with 8 races finished is still a fairly tight battle. As inconsistent as we as a forum have been this year, I'd say it's still hard to say who will win the season.
Let's go MF'rs (and Tazio), picks are in for Silverstone
Good luck all
I am in .
And , hey , thanks shifter , for keeping score for all us mf-ers .
To Tazzy and mr. swiss , I'm coming for you . Look in your mirrors , and be afraid .

My picks are a little risky. But after missing Monaco picks, I'm kind of in an all or nothing position if I really want to get back into the fight.
:idea: Of course:smokin:Quote:

What you guys don't know is I missed Monaco picks just to give you a fighting chance. If I ran away from the start, you might all quit making picks. :)Quote:

But speaking of podiums, now I'm wondering who really has them this year. I think they have been spread around fairly well, as well as race wins.
The post above was a quick recap from my phone, but somehow it died?
ZDK rank/member/points
18 Finland mfCOD 45
45 USA mf_mr_swiss 39
63 USA mf_airshifter 36
90 USA tazio 30
105 Canada mfbagwan 23
Not only did COD beat us all in the race, he was the highest ranking for us on qualification picks as well, with an overall ZDK qually rank of 9th. Well played sir!

66 +12 Finland mfCOD 317
71 -12 Canada mfbagwan 313
72 +3 USA mf_airshifter 312 **non adjusted**
That good scoring made COD the big mover upwards. And in qually he has the lowest total margin of error, so consistency in that aspect is helping him as well.
Once again, if you remove my points deficit for not picking at Monaco, the field is still tight for the rest of you guys.
Well , doesn't that put me in my place then .
COD didn't even check in and dominated the race.Quote:

No scores posted for Germany yet. With such a crazy race, I think scores will be low.
I do know that I didn't get my prediction in, even though I beat the deadline..... But to avoid any further screw ups I went ahead and made predictions for the rest of the season.
Well after that race, it's no surprise that all the scores are low. But at least it was a great race to watch.

Nobody got within 1% of the pole time. COD was the closest to pole time, but picked Leclerc for the front of the grid. So to remind everyone what a crazy race this was, for the top three forum finishers, 3 of those points were for selecting Hamilton for pole!

Mr Swiss is the only forum member to not drop in positions. And in a race like this, that's quite a win!
Missed the deadline .
Nuts .
Now shifter's gonna call me "non adjusted".
Well if we want to be up front, we are probably all a bit "non adjusted". But now two of us are identified as such. :laugh:]Quote:

As for Hungary, it looks like Mr Swiss might have spanked us this race. But I'm far too lazy to dig into it much until the scores post. None of us had Max for the pole, and the lower positions on the top 10 were fairly varied for picks.
Sorry for the delay, but I haven't had much keyboard time free.
As I thought at my initial look, Mr Swiss pulled off another forum win before the summer break. And he did it with an overall ZDK rank of 4th, so for a race with some twists and turns out of the ordinary he obviously saw it coming.
ZDK Rank/member/points
4 mf_mr_swiss 47
26 mf_airshifter 40
35 tazio 39
85 mfbagwan 28
90 mfCOD 27
None of us picked Max for pole, so nobody got any points for that prediction. COD was ranked 6th with his prediction time, so at least one of us was close on something.
Going into the break, Mr Swiss stretched his overall lead over Tazio a little more. With two of us now having missed races, that might leave this a three horse race towards the season end. But the less thna 50 point spread can disappear quick with just a crazy race or two.
Season ZDK rank/movement/member/points
35 +11 mf_mr_swiss 400
50 +6 tazio 381

77 -4 mfbagwan 354 **grossly and utterly non adjusted** :laugh: (-28)
79 -5 mfCOD 352
It looks like us non adjusted mf'ers are probably going to be battling it out for the last spots, but if we get lucky one of us might have a shot at COD. Tazio is fairly close to COD with overall pole prediction times with only a couple second margin between them.
Don't let the summer break end sneak up and get your Spa predictions in now, unless you want to join us non adjusted MF'ers in the cheap seats.
Maladjusted fits my style better .
Well adjusted obviously doesn't fit .
Hell , I've even been called "grossly and utterly non adjusted" .
It's clear I'm the black hat , dark shadows , bad seed entrant in this adrenaline soaked , hyper pressure competition .
I'm so unpredictable that you might not be able to predict what I might do next , but I'm so crazy bold that I am going to predict that I will win the next round with my next prediction .
It should make you all shudder .
I suck
Well you whooped us all at Silverstone, and you're consistently pulling points for your pole picks as well.Quote:

I can't do that .Quote:

Well obviously us non adjusted MFer's have Tazio and Mr Swiss scared already, to the point they aren't even posting. Don't lose hope Bagwan. We are already deep in their heads, and they know they are in for a butt whooping!
Get those picks in everyone, the break is over.
Well, so far, not talking, not talking smack seems to help.Quote:

Don't miss the Monza deadline boyz!
I am short on time, but Bagwan and me whopped you all at Spa! Mr Swiss spoke up and got spanked! :laugh:
McTazio and COD are scared to speak up, but they are going to get spanked as well!
Bagwan got a top 10 ZDK finish, and I was close behind. I think our lowest score was in the low 50's ZDK ranking, so overall as a forum we kicked some major butt. If I remember it right, we had one person hold season ranking at ZDK for overall season, and the rest of us moved up.
P.S. Bagwan, us non adjusted MF'ers are deep in their heads now. It's just a matter of time until we move up to the top. :laugh:
Wholly crap , that bagwan is good , eh ?
Good job mate.Quote:
