As well as earning loyalty points (this year it is up to £20 - 4 x £5 "PERIOD" rewards) the overall winner will win an iPAD AIR
Furthermore a Kindle Fire HDX, an iPod Nano and an iPod Shuffle with £30 iTunes vouchers will be awarded, at the end of each of the 4 "PERIOD" terms, to those respectively in 1st, 2nd & 3rd places

T&Cs > http://fantasygp.games-redspottedhanky.com/default.aspx?page=tc

NOTE:
To those that participated in it last year, there has been a fairly significant change regards the overall game structure.
For instance - there is ONLY ONE BONUS CIRCUIT choice
Similarly with earning Fantasy Game points and converting them into Loyalty points

Last years thread (for anyone interested) is here:

I have set up a MINI LEAGUE for any MSE members that would like to "compete" against their compatriots :D

Details are

League Name: MSE
League password: mse


Hope everyone will sign up, enter a team, have a bit of fun and earn themselves an easy few quid towards a cheaper rail ticket or other reward.

I, and several other family members, easily achieved the maximum reward of £15 that was possible to receive last year.

Best of luck

    AGREED ! :D

    Not looked at all this year's differences too closely just yet, but with only 1 Bonus circuit chance for Double Points, and needing 5 (FIVE :eek:) GP Game points for EACH Loyalty Point .......

    .. and splitting the season into 4 (unique scoring) PERIODS ....

    ... don't think this is going to be quite as easy to average 500 points per GP over each "period"
    Need to score 2500+ points to get the maximum £5

    That's at least 10,000 for the season and .......


    .... HAVING SAID THAT :)

    ... I've just checked and last season I did reach a total of 10,869

    So maybe £20 is on the cards :j :D

    and who knows - might win 1 of the prizes :rotfl:

    There seems to be a few mistakes and/or discrepancies :(

    ... or have I misunderstood/misread the rules/details

    From http://fantasygp.games-redspottedhanky.com/default.aspx?page=rules

    Firstly (edited)
    The Race:

    Each driver will generate +5 points for every position gained from his starting position on the grid to their final placing. Drivers will not lose points for losing places between the starting grid and end of the race.

    Example 2: Driver B qualifies in pole position, but has to change engines and so is penalised 10 places on the grid - and finishes 2nd in a race. He has moved up 9 places from his starting position, so will gain 55 points .......

    Shouldn't that be 45 points?
    Although I do think that last season that there was an extra points bonus for any driver that advanced by a certain number of places. 10 places maybe, or was it 8 or more?

    Secondly
    Race Name & Date
    2014 FORMULA 1 ROLEX AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX - 06:00 GMT Sunday 14th March 2014

    Transfer Deadline for Weekend Race
    17:00 GMT Friday 14th March 2014 - When Free Transfer Window Closes

    Sunday is 16th :)

    and I'm guessing this piece of text is in the wrong place ...

    It's "under" the CONSTRUCTORS bit ...
    An additional +5 points for each car with your chosen engine finishing within the top 10.

    If a driver is disqualified no points will be awarded for their engine.

    For Example: If your chosen engine is from Company Z and 5 cars with engines from Company Z finish the race, 2 of which finish in the top 10, you will receive 35 points.

    ENGINE GUIDE: To help you pick, the engines available to choose from in the Game are shown below along with the constructor's cars that they supply:

    ... where it doesn't quite make sense (Does it?)
    ("and 5 cars with engines from Company Z")

    I'm guessing it should be under "ENGINES" ?
