Well done guys!  Great playing Vintly for your first year!  Congrats to everyone who played.  

Don't be strangers - like Dare said, we're open all year.  Crack out your best jokes and talk about new tracks, car developments, driver changes all off-season long.   :good: :good: :good:

Congrats greener, you won by a fair margin in the end, a worthy winner. I thought I might have a chance after nicking one back in quali, but you pulled away, good show. Unlike Alonso I'm well chuffed with second.

Thanks to Dare and Rom for doing their stuff, look forward to next year!

Alright Greener - good job.  Now lets see those checker flags flying beside your name more this year.  You only have 400 posts.  Tell your wife you're in your man cave doing extra work for your job and get on the forum and take part.  :D :D :D

I have to admit Vintly you had me worried there.At one point during the race you had a few people in the right place and i thought it was all over for me.I never thought Hamilton being taken out would ever be a good thing but it worked out pretty good for my picks.Well done yourself mate on 2nd place its not going to be easy defending my title next year.

Congrats, greener! Carry the flags proudly!   :yahoo:

Many thanks again to Dare, Rom and, of course, Wizzo for making this possible.

There will be plenty going on around here all winter, so I hope all of you drop in often!  :good:

Congrats to Greener for becoming the 2012 Grid Game Champion  :yahoo:

I have transferred the world famous GG Championship Flags to your account. Wear them with pride my friend.  :good:

I would like to thank all the GPW members who played for being such fair and consistent sports men and women. Without you the GG would not exist. My wholehearted thanks goes to Dare for running the whole game in his spare time and being such a great moderator. Thanks also to Rom for supplying the GG calculation spreadsheet that provides Dare with at least a little sleep.

I will contact the top three players shortly shortly via PM.

Well done and thank you to everyone for contributing/playing the Grid Game and making it such a fun addition to the F1 season.

Wizzo

Thanks to the guys that organize this game, but don't let Bernie know about this or he will want a big percentage of Greeners flags.

Many Congratulations Greener you have played well enjoy having the flags.
I was pleased to achieve 14th, joint, and am already designing my 2013 team.
Playing the Grid Game makes the F1 season so much more interesting so full credit to you guys for running it. I'm looking forward to the new season not only to play the Grid Game again but I shall be at the race in Melbourne. I promise to mention this often! :good:

Well done Greener.

It's great fun playing this game, and I look forward to more fun next season.  Could I ask whether it's worth revising the game to include 9th and 10th positions?  Since they are now points scoring positions, which was probably not the case when the game was originally designed, it would seem to make sense.
Title: Re: Final results for 2012 Grid Game
Post by: Ian on November 26, 2012, 12:58:05 PM
That has already been suggested Irisado but it was generally agreed to keep it as it is. It is a great game and you'll be in a better position next year with a whole season to play. You wait until you play Wiz's Christmas Advent Comp, that one is a real headbanger.

The spread sheet Rom made can't be made to have
10 positions Irisado.Just having the original eight
makes it more of a challenge  IMO.Every week I
wondered who to use and who not too.

Getting a point for having the right driver in the top 8 is just that much more difficult than getting a point for having a driver in the top 10.

You're right, the top 10 positions would reflect the FIA's system more, but we think ours is better anyhow.   ;) :D :D

First of all Congrats to Greener for winning a cliffhanger, because after 20 rounds, beating Vintly by 4 points shows how close the game was. Congrats to everyone who played the game.

Special thanks to Dare, Rom and all the others who have contributed to keeping this game alive and more interesting.

Having started a bit late and missing out the last two races of the season, achieving 111 point was purely fun and well worth of trying. I must thank dare specially for convincing me to play the game, because I am not good with prediction and afraid of doing it.

Also congrats to Irisado as well for racking up quite number of points after starting the season so late. Hope we two will give all the other regulars a good run for their money.

GPW has become my home, season or off season, I have no intention of not being around..

Damn stupid waste of a double up cost me from still not being able to win!  :DD

Congrats to our new Vettel - Greener. Thanks to Dare for managing the game, unlike some I respectfully let you beat me as a sign of gratitude! Cough. Annyyywaaayy thanks to Wizzo for giving us a place to play.

And now for my racing drivers excuse for my poor performance, 3 baby in 3 years this year, arrived in October, at a pivotal juncture for my race picks, honest!  :good:

Next year can only get worse!  :fool:

You seems to going great along with RBR & Vettel, 3 in a row  :good: :good:

Did you named them Vettel I (2010), Vettel II (2011) Vettel III ((2012)? ;)

I'm looking forward to next season's game :).

I'll be around as much as I can over the winter, but moderation duties elsewhere, PhD work, and ongoing disenchantment with some of decisions in Formula 1, means that I'm not as dedicated to the sport as I used to be.

Off season is more about fun than deep F1 discussions.  Plenty of jokes and the rest - don't be a stranger.  :D :D
