FIM Winners Game 2012
I am in a remote location and I don't have a proper computer ;-) , so I will open this competition without extra ceremony. Lol, you will have to read the rule book looking at the 2011 edition, because I am writing this in an app on what the humans know as iPad.
Remember, yiu have to nominate one, two, three or four candidates to win the race. The only goal is to guess the winner. If you put one candidate, you get 4 points, if you put two candidates you get 3 points, with three candidates you get 2.5 points and with four candidates you get two points.
I will do my guess now just in case I cannot do it later:
MGP: Lorenzo, Stoner
M2: Marquez, Iannone
M3: Vinales, Cortese

I love races in which expectations are dashed, at least in quali. Stoner got it right and then went for a little more and went too far. oops! Hayden is chattering and understeering but loves the bike's high top end. Rossi is busy copying Nicky's set up formula. Go Nicky!
Thanks for the good intro Frostie. gotta start somewhere!

I could have chosen marcus's guess except exchanging Stoner with Lorenzo... Anyway M2 and M3 are going to be an unknown in this first race! BTW, I will post BOTTY's guess later if I have time, after all he/it was the star last season ;-)

Interesting how BOTTY's calculations gives a reasonable guess even in this first round.

Ooops, the results are here! I promise I will not be so fast in future rounds
And once again ghinzani won a round. His faith in that promising Vinales was rewarded. We have get it ok massively in the three cats. Well, except two black swans that I am not going to comment in this moment
BTW, in case of tie in a round, the earlier guess appears ahead. BOTTY is supposed to guess just after the qualifyings, so <heit> was the earliest guesser this time.
Code:
QATAR Mo3 Mo2 MGP = TOT
===========================
ghinzani 4 3 3 = 10
BOTTY 3 3 3 = 9
Schummy 3 3 3 = 9
jhansen 3 3 3 = 9
Tazz 3 2.5 3 = 8.5
marcus 4 4 0 = 8
Saleen 2.5 2.5 3 = 8
Dani 3 0 3 = 6
===========================
The tables for the categories are very obvious in this first GP. But let's enjoy these moments of glory.
Code:
·-----------------------------------·
| Moto3: | Moto2: |
| marcus 4 | marcus 4 |
| ghinzani 4 | BOTTY 3 |
| BOTTY 3 | Schummy 3 |
| Schummy 3 | jhansen 3 |
| jhansen 3 | ghinzani 3 |
| Dani 3 | Tazz 2.5 |
| Tazz 3 | Saleen 2.5 |
| Saleen 2.5 | Dani 0 |
·----------------+------------------·
| MotoGP: | Total: |
| BOTTY 3 | ghinzani 10 |
| Schummy 3 | BOTTY 9 |
| jhansen 3 | Schummy 9 |
| Dani 3 | jhansen 9 |
| Tazz 3 | Tazz 8.5 |
| Saleen 3 | marcus 8 |
| ghinzani 3 | Saleen 8 |
| marcus 0 | Dani 6 |
·----------------·------------------·
And now everybody sings with me: "Let's see how it develops in next race"
