Is it because there were only 2 of us representing babble?

Each race you get points on zdkf1 depending on how accurate your predictions were. For the last race amelia got 26 points and stairs got 20 points.
The main competition is the league, and to score points for sportsbabble in the league you have to be in the top 10 points scorers for that race across all the forums taking part. (The only provisos are that the players must be not banned on the forum and not be a duplicate account. Also, even if more than 2 players from a forum would place in the top 10, only the first two score league points and others are ignored, e.g. cliptheapex had someone who would have got 3rd in the last race, but as cliptheapex already had 1st and 2nd, the third player was ignored)

Being one of the smaller teams, it's not as likely you will win the league but a small team can still do relatively well. Don't give up! Smile

Good luck! Thumb up





I don't know if I've told you the history of the interforum league... It started out just on BBC's 606 forum, but then when the 606 forum was due to close and the various 606 copies sprang up, I turned it into a league between all of these forums. Because most of the forums in the league trace back to 606, there's always a healthy rivalry.
Forums are always closing and new ones spring up; the league helps players choose a new forum if theirs closes or if they fall out with other forum members (in the 4 years of the league, 5 of the forums playing have closed, and all their players needed to find another forum to call home). For new forums like yours, it gives some exposure of your site to all the other players in the league. I hope it will also help increase the chat in the motorsport forum on here; I'll try to keep up my with my quick review each race which will hopefully be a starting point for further discussion.

Sorry, I forgot I hadn't explained how the league points are scored. I wanted the OP to not be too overwhelming.

Pob, if you get wind of a forum closing please tell them about us. We will be around a long time and will welcome a mass migration Whistle

Quali trophy
Well done to stairs  Thumb up  from sportsbabble for scoring the maximum 3 points towards the quali trophy by having the best pole time guess out of everybody on zdkf1. No one else scored towards the quali trophy this week.

Malaysia race recap:
Everyone was surprised (except Amelia) that Vettel was able to win for Ferrari, beating the dominant Mercedes on merit. An early safety car helped Vettel make best use of a two-stop strategy and Ferrari's good tyre usage in the extreme Malaysia heat to win convincingly from Hamilton and Rosberg. Raikkonen in the other Ferrari recovered from an early puncture to come through the field to take 4th.
The Williams drivers were anonymous except for a good battle on the final lap resulting in Bottas finishing 5th ahead of Massa in 6th.
The Toro Rosso drivers outperformed their senior sister team Red Bull: Verstappen in particular had a mature race with some thrilling overtakes to take 7th ahead of Sainz in 8th. Kvyat finished 9th, not helped by a collision with Hulkenburg and Ricciardo placed 10th after struggling for much of the race with front wing damage.
