Predicament Predictions - 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

[Wizzie]

Ok... Warren Hughes, redbulljack and Ben Gilbert have been penalised 10 points as a result of posting their predictions after the deadline

[Captain Hammer]

1. Kamui "Kamikaze" Kobayashi

Why didn't I think that before?

Because nicknaming a Japanese driver "Kamikaze" is the least-imaginitive thing ever?

Seriously, Cowboy-ashi is far better.

NOOOOO! And I just realised I forgot about Red Bull! Minus points for me this week, and a possible PPROTR award?

Cliches exist for a reason.

That wasn't the point, man. Anyway, it was a bad joke, just because he put Kobayashi as the winner. Not the first time anyone misunderstands my jokes

OFF-TOPIC: 100th post! Oh yeah!

[Stramala]

Equal 2nd! Yeahhh....plus I likely have IIOTR points coming my way too...

[Phoenix]

I'd have won if Hamilton didn't retire, but still equal 2nd isn't bad

And it's PHOENIX, not PHEONIX, please

[shinji]

Groovy! My second win!

Yet I'm still a reject. How does that work?

[Warren Hughes]

9. WarrenHughes: -5 points (-10 points for late submission)

Rejectdom in action!

[Wizzie]

And it's PHOENIX, not PHEONIX, please

Sorry. Fixed it.

Groovy! My second win!

Yet I'm still a reject. How does that work?

It just does

[Tealy]

I know we are still waiting for the ROTR and IIDOTR but I believe it is a 3 way tie for 1st place at the minute between myself, Kowalski and Enforcer. Shinji is also in close contention a point behind.

[Phoenix]

And it's PHOENIX, not PHEONIX, please

Sorry. Fixed it.

Thanks

Yet I'm still a reject. How does that work?

Well, you're posting in the F1 Rejects forum; theoretically, we're all rejects in disguise

[watka]

I am actually Perry McCarthy.

[Wizzie]

Kamui Cowboy-ashi has been given IIDOTR so here are the point standings with Jamie and Enoch yet to decide ROTR and in turn decide the first ever predicament predictions champion
Current Standings:
1. Kostas22: 11 points
=2. Shinji: 10 points
=2. Enforcer: 10 points
=3. Pieman: 8 points
=3. Phoenix: 8 points
=4. Bleu: 7 points
=4. Tealy: 7 points
=5. DJ Bereta: 6 points
=5. Ross Prawn: 6 points
=5. Kowalski: 6 points
=6. Wizzie: 5 points
=6. Cpt Hammer: 5 points
=6. Tristan1117: 5 points

8. Ben Gilbert: 1 point (-10 points for late submission)
9. RedBullJack14: -1 point (-10 points for late submission)
10. WarrenHughes: -5 points (-10 points for late submission)

[Stramala]

If I may quote Mark Webber when he won his first race...
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESYESYESYESYES YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tealy]

I may be completely wrong but ...

If Trulli is ROTR - I win
If Kovalienen is ROTR - Enforcer wins

Otherwise its a draw between us on 41 points (Kowalski on 38 can't catch up because he chose Kovalienen too).

[Enforcer]

I may be completely wrong but ...

If Trulli is ROTR - I win
If Kovalienen is ROTR - Enforcer wins

Otherwise its a draw between us on 41 points (Kowalski on 38 can't catch up because he chose Kovalienen too).

Tense. And neither of us has won a round either.

My desire to see Button fail cost me points at Brazil though.

If it was a tie Tealy would win on countback because on his clear 2nd place in one round (Forgot which round it was)
1st is worth more than =1st, 2nd is worth more than =2nd and 3rd worth more than =3rd because of the millions of ties we usually get for poduims

[Wizzie]

The fizz has been awarded ROTR so here are the final standings for this round:

1. Kostas22: 11 points
=2. Shinji: 10 points
=2. Enforcer: 10 points
=3. Pieman: 8 points
=3. Phoenix: 8 points
=4. Bleu: 7 points
=4. Tealy: 7 points
=5. DJ Bereta: 6 points
=5. Ross Prawn: 6 points
=5. Kowalski: 6 points
=6. Wizzie: 5 points
=6. Cpt Hammer: 5 points
=6. Tristan1117: 5 points
=6. MBF: 5 points
=6. MinardiFan95: 5 points
=7. CarlosFerreira: 4 points
=7. rffp: 4 points
8. Ben Gilbert: 1 point (-10 points for late submission)
9. RedBullJack14: -1 point (-10 points for late submission)
10. WarrenHughes: -5 points (-10 points for late submission)

This means that Tealy is the first ever Predicament Predictions champion, Kostas22 gets IIDOTPPR even though his predictions included a Cowboyashi win and WarrenHughes gets ROTPPR for failing epically at time management

[Warren Hughes]

Oh dear. Epic fail, not just at time management, but for forgetting about Red Bull, and therefore not predicting points for Vettel or Webber. Don't think I can argue with ROTPPR after a Badoer-esque performance!

[Stramala]

Kostas22 gets IIDOTPPR even though his predictions included a Cowboyashi win

You make that sound as if it were a bad thing?

[Wizzie]

It's only a bad thing because Cowboyashi didn't win. If he did you would have been IIDOTPPFL (FL standing for "For life")

[CarlosFerreira]

you would have been IIDOTPPFL (FL standing for "For life")

At the current rate of acronym stretch, I'm going to need a new screen soon.
