This is a continuation of the great game that @Northstar (aka Justin) had set up for you guys, with me now carrying the torch in mostly the same manner, but with some twists of my own that I think will allow more chances to win and diversity, while at the same time making certain aspects a bit more difficult.

Oh, derp. You would think someone who has traveled as much as me would think of the time zones :dunce:.
Practice is a bit under 35 hours from now.
 
Oh you guys, it will be up. I'm visiting family since I'm on spring break so that's why I haven't put it up yet. But it will be up later tonight as promised and if I have to revise due to my lapse in time I will. But just for this round, after this the new pick form will be up the day of the GP or the next day after.
 
Okay the pick form is up and also the submission table is in the link under the pick form. This is so you can see what you picked if your forgot, or who others have picked. I've already submitted so you know how to do the WCC portion for the constructors. In other words you can put a constructor up to two times (both cars) per Grand Prix. You do not have to pick six different constructors.

EDIT:

I'm closely following the Giedo case with Sauber, and if the situation effects player picks this round I will fix accordingly.

Yeah, I changed a couple of my driver and constructor picks. Apologies for any inconvenience.

That's fine. New rule to make sense of everything. You're last pick will be the pick that counts toward the race any picks after during Quali sessions will incur penalties.
 
What is unclear to you and @numbnuts70 ? If you just ask I will help you out, there are no stupid questions on how to play.

I understand that I pick 5 drivers and get awarded points on how high they finished and the next week I can't pick any of the same 5 again unless I pick on of 6 wildcards (or whatever it's called), is that right?

and does the wildcard allow me to pick one or 5 drivers from the previous week?

also the WCC do I pick them in terms of per race or is it overall in the championship.

Mostly, it's the same thing as previous seasons. You pick drivers for the weekend GP and next GP you pick new drivers that aren't the same, unless you have CPs (consecutive pick tokens) at your disposal. Everyone starts with 6 of them at the beginning of the season, and you can win more through out the season. This allows you to make a consecutive pick without getting zero points but only if you have the ability to do so.

and does the wildcard allow me to pick one or 5 drivers from the previous week?

There is no wild card, just CPs to use through the season that allow you to pick a driver(s) as many times as you want so long as you have the ability to do so.

also the WCC do I pick them in terms of per race or is it overall in the championship.

You pick them per race. You just decide which cars you want and they will get tally'd based on finish position, and those points you earn go toward a secondary championship (Constructors championship). So say if you pick two Williams cars but one of them doesn't finish in the points and the other does, you still get some points. If both finish in the points you get their combined total.

Does all of this make sense or do you need more info?
