Fantasy F1 2010 - entry thread

[jab]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to this year’s Fantasy F1, with your new host, me. I am taking over from Sir Ralf of Fan this year despite having never taken part before, but luckily for you I know roughly what I’m doing anyway

As you know, F1 has seen some pretty big changes between the 2009 and 2010 seasons, which have given me license to make some changes this year. It’s not going to take rocket science as it only involves you only including one other thing in your entry

Entries
The idea is you have to pick 2 drivers and a constructor within a budget of 100,000 (insert currency here). You don’t get any points for not spending under the budget. None of these can be from the same team - you can’t pick 2 drivers from the same team or a driver and the constructor of the same team.

However, there is a major change for this year. As you all know, the entry list has expanded from 10 teams to 13 (theoretically) for this season, so I’m taking the opportunity to expand the constructors section. You now have to pick an engine as well as a chassis for your team. This can be the same engine that's in the back of the constructor's car, and also does not have to clash with the drivers

The top 3 engine scores (excluding the points given out for engine failures) count. There will be a 5 point penalty for every engine failure in a race, and a further 10 point penalty if the engine limit is exceeded for a driver (i.e. they get grid penalties for changing engines)

To allow for this change, the constructor prices have been reduced (put it down to the global financial crisis or something)

Please use the following entry form to post entries:

Team name:
Constructor:
Engine:
Driver 1:
Driver 2:

Please include the prices as well

Scoring System
This is something I will also change as I have an unhealthy fascination with points systems. To bring FF1 inline with the recent changes in F1 and FF1 itself, I’m going to alter the system, with more points on offer, a different structure, and the addition of points for pole, fastest lap and laps led for drivers. Engines have their own system as well. Quite complex now but then you don’t have to do all the work

Win: 25 pts
2nd: 18
3rd: 15

FAQs

I didn’t enter before the start of the season. Does this mean I now can’t take part?
You can enter whenever you like through the season. Just don’t expect points for the rounds you entered after. The deadline for each round is the start of Free Practice 1

Can I make any substitutions during the season?
You can make one free driver substitution during the season. You can make more than one change but it will cost you 15 points for every change after the first one. You cannot change constructors or engines

What happens if my driver is injured/killed/unable to participate in races due to legal reasons?
Automatically, you will receive points from that drivers’ replacement in his team, unless you request for a substitution. So, using an example from last year, if you picked Massa and he was injured and you don’t fancy the idea of Badoer or Fisichella picking up points for you instead, you would have to make a substitution. I believe this is a slight change from last year, as I believe in the past you would’ve continued to score no points until you made a change

What happens if a driver is injured/killed/unable to participate in the race due to legal reasons, and one of my drivers moves teams to replace him, thus clashing with the team I chose at the beginning, e.g. if I picked Fisichella and Ferrari last year?
Don’t worry about it

Who is in charge?
I am. That means I decide what happens if things go array, like disqualifications, shortened races, lightning strikes and so on. Even $100m fines and disqualifications from the constructors championship. And no, picking Webber will not gain extra bonus points. And call me James. That is my name
