Keith, could you provide the list of results in a .doc file, rather that .docx, please?
z0rs said on 28th April 2009, 22:05
Even though I think doc is proprietary, therefore bad, I agree with the request to add also the results in doc (I know there’s a plugin for ms office too, but my phone can’t read docx files)
gazzap said on 28th April 2009, 10:50
I know I got the top 3 in the exact order, and I think one other person did – am I right or was there more than 1 other or did they get their extra points from guessing pole right?
Chua said on 28th April 2009, 11:25
I don’t think it’s possible to get 50 points in any other way than guessing the podium three exactly. The next highest points possible would be 35 (2 exact podium + pole), then a few combinations for 25 points.

Darn, I’m lost in the middle of the pack with 25 points … somehow, I feel like a Williams X(
Sush Meerkat said on 28th April 2009, 11:59
haha raceaddict, and I feel like Alonso, i’m doing crap but i’m optimistic I can still win this thing.

Hi, I had accidentally put spaced in my name for the second race, so I have two standings: C J Kinniburgh and CJ Kinniburgh. Is it possible for those to be merged? Maybe just have a single CJKinniburgh. Thanks. I promise that this will not happen again!

Keith,
you must be crazy to have to work these results out for 328 people! good work though!

Wow I didn’t expect to be one of the top scorers from Bahrain!
Dougie said on 28th April 2009, 16:41
Woohoo!! I knew I’d scored well from Bahrain, but to be sharing the lead… wayhay!!
Ooh! Pressures on…
F1Fan said on 29th April 2009, 0:40
Keith, are you sure I only earned 30 pts in Bahrein ? I had Trulli on pole, Button wining the race, then Trulli and Vettel. Isn’t it worth more pts ?
Dougie said on 29th April 2009, 7:13
Hi F1Fan, I’ve just checked and its correct you got 30 points for Bahrain. 10pts for Pole, 10pts for Button in 1st… but then you got the other 2 correct but not in their correct finishing order and therefore only get 5pts for each of them…hence 30pts in total.
Had you picked Vettel in second with a.n.other driver in third… or picked a.n.other driver in second with Trulli in third… then you’d have got 25pts (correctly picked 2 of the top 3 in their correct positions) plus your 10pts for pole.

Keith, Instead of collecting data from the post, why don’t you integrate a small application with a textbox for name and four dropdowns for drivers. That would be easier to maintain.

Hiya, I correctly guessed 2 of the top 3 to get 25 points, however I stupidly forgot to put my username at the top of the post. It’s the same as my name here in the comments (symmetry), so is it possible those points could be added on? Pretty please?
And I promise not to do it again.
F1Fan said on 1st May 2009, 4:39
Thanks Dougie.

Keith, all I’m getting from the above io link is ‘No preview available’. I can’t get scores or anything for that matter – no matter how many times I try it.
What’s the matter? Is there something wrong with the site?
