MotoGP Race at Laguna Pick your Riders.

[A DRAGON]

Paul I believe you won again. You had Lorenzo winning and didn't have Dani Pedrosa in your picks.  (He Crashed out )
So I believe that makes you the winner again.  Your the man!!!!

I also should have added in how would they Qualify? That's pretty interesting too. I think that would have been better.  What do you think?

Just so I can understand how this works in order to give a shot on the Republica Checa one...

I will drop your hole shot picks if your rider isn't the first one out. You have to pick the first rider. Then we go from there.

What is that about? I didnt understand that rule   The reason why I say that is cause it sounds like that if you dont get the hole shot right, nothing else matters. Am I right?

Don't worry JP, pretty soon you'll have to guess the color of their underwear too

JP that way we narrow it down. You can have it right but we have to give you something for getting the rider correct first. It's a starting point.  Once we settle who the Hole shot  winner is first. Then we can use the others as a tie breaker.  I hope that explains it better for you.

Rick, because I love you, let me help you out. This guy I highlighted in your last post will not race. He broke his leg in Germany.  

I don't know what I did... I think I was sleeping or somehing else. I was pretty much sure I have fixed it....

Hummm...not quite... And I'll do what I do whenever my Ph.D. Professors cant make me understand...keep asking! uhauah

So, What I understood from what you said is that you need to pick the hole shot right in order to keep on the "game". Is that right? Can you miss the hole shot and still have a chance to win!? Because as far as I know Pedrosa (the maniac) was the hole shot, right? And the only ones that said that would be Pedrosa were the first three guessers! Would that disqualify everybody else that didn't get the hole shot? If so, Paul would be disqualified... I clearly need help here!  Hahahaha

Jesus Christ...this is becoming harder to understand than Frequency signals acquisition through Fast Fourier Transfer!!!!

Boy I hate working with simple minds   Just kidding. Sorry for the confusion.

[Adiggity]

Ok Jerome. I am going to make a motion that we should make this game simpler instead of jamming more things into it to make it even more confusing for everyone. I think we will get more participants if we simplify it. I think a lot of people don't play because they don't understand how it works. Lets just say pick the top five finishers. Whoever gets closest wins. In the event of a tie, we go to the hole shot pick as a tie breaker. If they have the same hole shot pick, then we go with alphabetical order of last name. (My name is Allen!!   ) Just kidding, we could pick what ever. Maybe how many people you think will crash or something a little less predictable. So using this last race as an example, here are the results of what we have here.

1   99   Jorge LORENZO   SPA   Fiat Yamaha Team   Yamaha   157.8   43'54.873
2   20   27   Casey STONER   AUS   Ducati Team   Ducati   157.6   +3.517
3   16   46   Valentino ROSSI   ITA   Fiat Yamaha Team   Yamaha   157.0   +13.420
4   13   4   Andrea DOVIZIOSO   ITA   Repsol Honda Team   Honda   157.0   +14.188
5   11   69   Nicky HAYDEN   USA   Ducati Team   Ducati   157.0   +14.601
6   10   11   Ben SPIES   USA   Monster Yamaha Tech 3   Yamaha   156.7   +19.037
7   9   5   Colin EDWARDS   USA   Monster Yamaha Tech 3   Yamaha   155.4   +40.721
8   8   33   Marco MELANDRI   ITA   San Carlo Honda Gresini   Honda   155.1   +47.219

10   6   65   Loris CAPIROSSI   ITA   Rizla Suzuki MotoGP   Suzuki   154.7   +52.814
11   5   95   Roger Lee HAYDEN   USA   LCR Honda MotoGP   Honda   153.5   +1'14.089
12   4   15   Alex DE ANGELIS   RSM   Interwetten Honda MotoGPHonda  153.6  +1'14.666

Both Rand and youngster picked the winner, but only youngster had the correct 2nd place rider out of those two, so he wins. And it will continue down the line like that. If nobody picks the winner then we go by total points by where your picks finished. 1 point for 1st, 2 for 2nd and so on. the person with the lowest score wins. Does that make sense? What do you boys and girls think? Any comments/suggestions/thoughts?


Oh, and I think we should do something for WSBK too!!

[n10sive]

you da man Andy. I like it

[A DRAGON]

Yo Diggity. Thanks. That's the way it goes.

Yes we definitely need to do one for World Superbike.  Oh shoot there's a race this weekend. I imagine your picks will have to go for both races. I like it.

[youngster775]

I think I will stay out of it this week to give people like Andy a chance to win.....
pick winners, not yer nose!

He's going to the movies..that is why he is picking his seat
