Live Race Rulebook

The official rules for the Live Race prediction game.

Back to the Live Race

Game Objective

The goal is to predict the outcomes of the Live Race before the event locks. You earn points for each correct prediction you make.

The twist: the more unique your correct answer is compared to other players, the more points you score!

Scoring Principle

Each correct prediction is worth a maximum of 100 points. The final score is calculated based on the rarity of your answer.

Points = 100 × (1 - Rarity Percentage)

Example 1: Common Answer

80% of players correctly guessed Max Verstappen for Pole. Your score would be:

100 × (1 - 0.80) = 20 Points

Example 2: Rare Answer

Only 5% of players correctly guessed the driver for P7. Your score would be:

100 × (1 - 0.05) = 95 Points

Your Predictions

A) Qualifying Predictions

  • Pole Position (P1), P2, and P3: Predict the top three drivers in qualifying.
  • Each correct position awards up to 100 points (based on rarity).
  • Total Possible: Up to 300 points.

B) Race Predictions

  • Race Ranking: Place all drivers in their predicted finishing order. Each exact position match (e.g., correctly predicting P7) awards up to 100 points. There are 20 drivers, so this category has a maximum of 2000 points.
  • Podium Set Bonus: If your top 3 drivers match the actual podium (in any order), you get an additional 100 points.
  • Top 10 Set Bonus: If your top 10 drivers match the actual top 10 (in any order), you get an additional 100 points.
  • Race Winner Bonus: If your predicted P1 is the actual race winner, you get an additional 100 points.
  • Fastest Lap: Correctly predict the driver with the fastest lap for 100 points.
  • DNF Set Bonus: If your set of DNF (Did Not Finish) drivers exactly matches the actual DNFs, you get 100 points. This is a single bonus for the entire correct set.

Points Summary

You can earn points from multiple categories. A high total score is possible and intentional, allowing for clear differentiation between players.

  • Qualifying Top 3: Up to 300 points total.
  • Exact Race Positions: Up to 100 points for each correctly guessed position (max 2000 points).
  • Podium Set Bonus: 100 points.
  • Top 10 Set Bonus: 100 points.

Tie-Breakers

In case of a points tie, a winner is determined by the following criteria, in order:

  1. Most exact race position hits.
  2. Correct Podium Set.
  3. Correct Race Winner.
  4. Smallest sum of positional deviations (lower is better).
  5. Earliest submission time.
