2007 Top 10

[Waldorf]

After two high-scoring races, the top 12 are:

99 ------ back-lit
95 ------ marclee75
95 ------ samwhile
94 ------ kai
93 ------ loud_howard
93 ------ waldorf
92 ------ swethasrinath
92 ------ marvinotc
92 ------ cman
92 ------ feichter
92 ------ bmw118000
92 ------ f1sport

It's good to see some new faces mixed in with the usual suspects.

[LOUD HOWARD]

Whoop whoop whoop!

[Waldorf]

The new Top 11:

141 - back-lit
135 - bmw118000
135 - ferrari27
135 - jayheggerud
134 - he-man
134 - saakey
134 - smitty
133 - rywt
132 - boxenluder
132 - jeremy813
132 - nickj

[Waldorf]

Kimi's untimely exit from the Spanish GP shook things up a bit. Here is the new top 11:

188 - saakey
186 - nickj
185 - he-man
185 - marclee75
184 - scarlet_macaw
184 - smitty
184 - webbaar
183 - back-lit
183 - waldorf
182 - canadave
182 - jeremy813

The standings are very close at the moment. A total of 77 people have averaged at least 40 points per race so far, which is a crazy pace.

[Waldorf]

The race at Monaco was low scoring, but a few people managed to do pretty well for themselves. The new top 11:

221 - saakey
215 - nickj
215 - arncreddy296
214 - jeremy813
213 - kai-star
213 - smitty
213 - marclee75
212 - rusty
212 - scarlet_macaw
209 - ferrari27
209 - pkearney

[Kai-Star]

Hmmm, never done this well. Better check me for substance abuse.

[Waldorf]

I've updated the "Top10" group on the gridbids site with the top 11 players as of the European GP, who are

402 -- todzilla220
392 -- bicyclejoe
392 -- saakey
389 -- jenny
387 -- jeremy813
384 -- rusty
383 -- arncreddy296
382 -- nickj
382 -- pkearney
381 -- boxenluder
381 -- ghost_who_walks

Congratulations to everyone who has managed to figure out the bizarre twists we've seen this season. There is far more movement in the standings than is usual for this point in the season.

Congratulations to Farzad for surging into the top 10!

[The Ghost Who Walks]

Last 2 races I have gone to put my bids in just before friday practise had started (like maybe 2 hrs)only to find it say already expired. So I sent my bids by PM to Farz but they're still in my outbox meaning he hasn't seen them yet.

Why do a few people do this so often? The deadline for each race is shown on the picks page, and there is a whole page with deadlines for every race, which you can see in your own time zone. The deadline is not always the start of practice -- when Farzad sets the deadlines, he is a bit conservative to make sure that differences in Daylight Savings time never result in a deadline after practice has started.

Maybe make your picks for China now, instead of waiting until the deadline has passed and complaining to Farzad. If something important happens just before free practice to make you want to change your picks, then you can do so. But why set yourself up for a zero?

[The Ghost Who Walks]

Why do a few people do this so often?

A) I got used to doing my picks when I got the reminder email - which I haven't received for the last 2 races.
B) I have real life deadlines that tend to occupy my mind more than deadlines for games (I'm not Jeremy )

I didn't complain to Farzad I merely submitted my picks. The reason for this post was that he hasn't replied to (or even read) my messages to him.
Can't say I realised the deadline wasn't the start of practise - well I know now I guess.

[Waldorf]

The Top 10 heading for the final race of 2007:

605 -- todzilla220
595 -- fidel
588 -- tisoy
588 -- bicyclejoe
580 -- nickj
578 -- farzad
574 -- wick
574 -- saakey
573 -- arncreddy296
571 -- jenny

todzilla220 is looking good for the overall win; fidel must be praying for rain...

[Waldorf]

http://www.gridbids.com/vennpicks.php?player1=31&player2=714&player3=562&race=17

Going into the last race, todzilla220 has a good lead (for a dry race), with fidel 10 points down and tisoy & bicyclejoe 17 points back.



-- fidel has chosen conservatively, and will need Rosberg to outscore (Webber + Fisichella) by 10 points if he is to catch todzilla.

-- tisoy has gone for broke, with (Kimi + Rosberg + Kubica + Vettel) versus todzilla's (Alonso + Hamilton + Webber + Trulli + Ralf), which is unlikely to net him 17 points unless the two McLarens take each other out.

-- bicyclejoe needs (Heidfeld + Kubica) to outscore Massa by 17, which is also unlikely.

[Waldorf]

Unless McLaren's appeal is successful (and unless I screwed something up), it looks like the final standings are as below.

Congratulations, todzilla220! Close but no cigar for fidel and tisoy. As for Farzad -- about time you made it into the top 10!

[xcraigx]

At least I made it into the top 20 this year.

Congrats to Todzilla!

(I'm just posting this now because I've been checking the GB page for updates instead of here.)

See you guys in 2008!
Where you will all bow down to my massive POINTAGE! Muwah! Hah! Haah!

[Farzad]
