Anyone interested in starting a fantasy F1 competition for this year, not sure which sites are best, or if RD can organize one.

Are you guys talking about fantasy F1 or a prediction game?
Ι would prefer to give points for some places only and to predict only the top 5. For example: I predict that Hamilton will finish 3rd in a race. If he finishes 3rd I get 3 points. If he finishes 2nd or 4th (one place away from what I predicted) I will get 2 points and if he finishes 1st or 5th (2 places away from my prediction) I will get 1 point. Also, if I predict the poleman and fastest lap holder I will get 2 extra points. It is a lot simpler for the organisers and if we agree for this I can help organising. Like if you like the idea
I can help but I don't want to spend hours in thisOrganizers (so far) = only me (I assume)
There needs to be a rule on a deadline for posting predictions. Last season there wasn't one and it's kinda pointless, to say, to predict Vettel for the win after he gets pole Makes more sense to say that the predictions need to have been made before FP1 or FP3 or something like that.
I also think predicting the fastest lap shouldn't give as many points as pole since it's pretty arbitrary due to tyre strategy (even a Williams or Sauber can get fastest lap if they do their option stint at the end of the race).
As far as scale (finishing places to predict) goes: the bigger, the better
I want to make a Suggestion
Points for only correct prediction for Top 10 and no points for Near miss like Predicting a Driver for P4 and if he was in P3 or P5 you won't get points
For each prediction from 4 to 10 you will get one point and for the Second and third Podium places you will get 2 points, For winner you will get 3
Like if i Predicted the Positions of 1,3,5,6 then i will have 7 points(3+2+1+1).
The Prediction must be Closed after the End of FP2. as people may have a chance to predict the Positions.so for Mod to close the thread and he will open it after the End of race.
I prefer the system where you also get points if you don't get the result exactly right. Here's an example for why:
Example race result:
1. Vettel
2. Alonso
3. Button
4. Webber
5. Perez
6. Raikkonen
7. Hülkenberg
8. Grosjean
9. Massa
10. Hamilton
Predictions of person 1:
1. Alonso
2. Button
3. Webber
4. Perez
5. Raikkonen
6. Hülkenberg
7. Grosjean
8. Massa
9. Hamilton
10. Rosberg
Predictions of person 2:
1. Vergne
2. Ricciardo
3. Gutierrez
4. Di Resta
5. Perez
6. Chilton
7. Raza
8. van der Garde
9. Pic
10. Maldonado
In this (extreme) example, person 2 pretty much failed completely, but he got #5 Perez exactly right. person 1 didn't get anything 100% right, but his predictions are still extremely good. In my opinion it makes sense for person 1 to get more points.
I know, this is exactly what I meant - I prefer your approach over what Kartik suggested :-p"you also get points if you don't get the result exactly right" - well, that's what I'm proposing too, although I didn't say it in exact words.
