Stupid paranoid stewarts hurt my predictions BTW, I think green avatar might be razta.

G'wan me.

And that's with Sutil essentially as a passenger.

I have Alonso, Hamilton and Petrov! What is supposed to go wrong?

i scored 2nd this round, vettel makes things too predictable.

So I'm Reject of the Race eh?

I'M SO PROUD. =D

Unless there's a big shock amongst the non-rookies and non-Australian contingent of F1, I suspect the bottom 3 teams are decided for the year. I can't beat Rubbergoat because I have a "fixed all year" team involving one more driver than him (we both have all the rookies, but I decided to spend all my money and add Liuzzi) and barring terrible rookie luck, neither of us will ever beat Webber on his little lonesome.

The F1 Rejects league is ranked 69th out of 756.

Due to the ROTR rule change, it will be unlikely to see such a huge domination of the bottom as Waris did last year. Whoever controls the green avatar team will definitely be lowest scorer every round.

Amazing job, Shinji. You even got your name on the race's top 25 overall
Excellent position for the league as well. I can't believe we're beating Sidepodcast.

I had the second best combination it would have been possible to have for that race. Nice.

I'm for creating a subcategory teams that don't include Vettel

I have the best two drivers on the grid, as well as the "best of the rest" driver on the "best of the rest" car. How come I am so down the order?

Oh wow, the order of the bottom 3 changed. I wonder how long Super Zoran will be down there for? =/

33. RubberGoat's Rookies (???) - 325.67 ppr
34. green avatar (???) - 199.50 ppr

The F1 Rejects league is ranked 105th out of 758.

Regarding ROTR, Carlos should get an honourable mention for failing to beat green avatar, though using the official criteria, he didn't do worse than all of the top 6 bar shinji. The championship leader (who's username is as of yet unknown) even managed to finish 20th this round, which was definitely the most surprising of the year.

Sadly, the failure to score big points among the league leaders meant that the F1 Rejects league drops 80 places to 105th.

The F1 Rejects league is ranked 85th out of 758.

Wurz Case Scenario, whose owner is still unidentified, managed to rank 13th worldwide for this round.

Also, any owner of a team whose name is followed by question marks would help by identifying themselves (earn some recognition).

How the mighty have fallen. the racing elite, whose owner is still unidentified and who led the championship in dominating fashion early on now score a big fat ROTR, dropping to 6th overall.

The F1 Rejects league is ranked 72nd out of 762.

OK, let me make this clear... I have the best two drivers on the grid, and VP, and I'm doing shite?

Crap, I forgot to do the Abu Dhabi review...

I'll just give top scorer, lowest scorer, IIDOTR and ROTR for that race along with the Brazilian GP review.

Somehow i've managed to be 11th of this forum, while running D'Ambriosio all races and not running Vettel (except for one or two races maybe), not bad.

10th overall for me. Not bad. It could be better if not a disastrous Abu Dhabi race...

I went long past caring about this since Hamilton was having daydreaming nightmares, Alonso was on an uncompetitive Ferrari and Renault failed badly.

I'm happy to finish on the first page of the standings

Um, yeah, I forgot to post standings, and now I can't access them and I also seem to have forgotten to do a review for Singapore.

Anyways, here are top scorers, bottom scorers, ROTRs and IIDOTRs for the season up to India, not inlcuding Singapore.

Top scorers
Australia - the racing elite (???) (694)
Malaysia - The Bookhouse Boys (shinji) (677)
China - the racing elite (???) (651)
Turkey - The Bookhouse boys (shinji) (700)
Spain - the racing elite (???) (765)
Monaco - The Bookhouse Boys (shinji) (901)
Canada - Blastcorp F1 (Dartanian) (785)
Europe - Wurz Case Scenario (???) (742)
Great Britain - Thalion Racing (Thalion) (763)
Germany - Precision Motorsports (Jeroen Krautmeir) & Hemogoblin Autowerks (thehemogoblin) (675)
Hungary - Wurz Case Scenario (???) (626)
Belgium - The Bookhouse Boys (shinji) & Carbon Fibre Neutral (Collieafc) (652)
Italy - Wurz Case Scenario (???) (701)
Japan - John Deere F1 (This) (635)
Korea - Wurz Case Scenario (???) (681)
India - Wurz Case Scenario (???) (707)

Wurz Case Scenario was top scorer the most times, with five wins, but his inconsistency did not allow him to take the top spot from shinji.

Bottom scorers
Australia - green avatar (???) (153)
Malaysia - green avatar (???) (186)
China - green avatar (???) (241)
Turkey - green avatar (???) (213)
Spain - green avatar (???) (196)
Monaco - green avatar (???) (208)
Canada - NotWilliams (CarlosFerreira) (153)
Europe - green avatar (???) (177)
Great Britain - green avatar (???) (192)
Germany - green avatar (???) (200)
Hungary - green avatar (???) (155)
Belgium - Not Williams (CarlosFerreira) (196)
Italy - green avatar (???) (19)
Japan - green avatar (???) (153)
Korea - green avatar (???) (170)
India - green avatar (???) (165)

Well, that didn't go as planned, now did it? green avatar, whoever he/she was, was lowest scorer 14 times out of 16, with only our very own CarlosFerreira interrupting his streak whenever Mark Webber had a great race. When he had a miserable race, it showed, as the worst predictor this year scored just 19 points in Italy.

IIDOTRs
Australia - the racing elite (???) (rookie)
Malaysia - HWNSNBM Worldwide (whatisdeletrazdoing) (17th of the round being 33rd overall)
China - TeamSuperImu (superimu) (2nd of the round being 29th overall)
Turkey - Varangian F1 (tristan1117) (14th of the round being 29th overall)
Spain - HWNSNBM Worldwide (whatisdeletrazdoing) (15th of the round being 29th overall)
Monaco - Taku 2: Electric Boogaloo (LukeB) (10th of the round being 24th overall)
Canada - La Canta Magnifico Piantina (Alianora la Canta) (4th of the round being 31st overall)
Europe - Brown GP (WIDD) (19th of the round being 31st overall)
Great Britain - NotWilliams (CarlosFerreira) (7th of the round being 26th overall)
Germany - Predator Motorsport (AndreaModa) (10th of the round being 32nd overall)
Hungary - SuckItGil (whatisdeletrazdoing's dad) (5th in the round while 28th overall)
Belgium - Super Zoran F1 (P_Friesacher) (8th in the round while 32nd overall)
Italy - Super Zoran F1 (P_Friesacher) (14th in the round while 29th overall)
Japan - Super Zoran F1 (P_Friesacher) (6th in the round while 29th overall)
Korea - Predator Motorsports (AndreaModa) (20th in the round while 32nd overall)
India - RubberGoat's Rookies (???) -(2nd in the round while 33rd overall)

With the IIDOTR and ROTR now decided purely through statistics, it would be very difficult to score more than two. And that's exactly what P_Friesacher did at the end of the year. Bad results early on in the year allowed his top-15 scores in the last 5 races to earn him 3 consecutive IIDOTRs.

ROTRs
Australia - green avatar (???) (rookie)
Malaysia - Lotus Team Phoenix (Phoenix) (31st of the round being 21st overall)
China - John Deere F1 (This) (28th of the round being 9th overall)
Turkey - John Deere F1 (This) (21st of the round being 11th overall)
Spain - De Bock Race Engineering (tommykl) (25th of the round being 12th overall)
Monaco - who cares if i win (???) (26th of the round being 7th overall)
Canada - Precision Motorsports (Jeroen Krautmeir) and Hemogoblin Autowerks (thehemogoblin) (28th and 29th of the round being 4th and 5th overall)
Europe - Blastcorp F1 (Dartanian) (28th of the round being 12th overall)
Great Britain - Blastcorp F1 (Dartanian) (31st of the round being 17th overall)
Germany - Thalion Racing (Thalion) (26th of the round being 3rd overall)
Hungary - the racing elite (???) (28th of the round while 2nd overall)
Belgium - The Red George (???) (31st of the round while 7th overall)
Italy - The Red George (???) (32nd of the round while 14th overall)
Japan - the racing elite (???) (26th of the round while 6th overall)
Korea - Taku 2: Electric Boogaloo (LukeB) (32nd of the round while 22nd overall)
India - TMLW-Fwifwi Racing (the Masked Lapwing) (28th of the round while 16th overall)

4 teams were ROTR in multiple races: the racing elite, first for the first part of the season, then dropping down miserably, picking up two ROTRs in the process, John Deere F1, always in the top 15, but in a slump during the first part of the year, Blastcorp F1, last season's frontrunner, pretty much in the same position as Deere, and The Red George, towards the front, but dropping down at an alarming rate at the end of the year.

Team of the year: The Bookhouse Boys
IIDOTY: Wurz Case Scenario
ROTY: green avatar

Anyone interested in starting up a new league for 2012? It's a bit late, but no one has suggested anything yet. I can make the league and try to do the standings if anyone's interested.

I am interested... Although it might be too late to join in, perhaps.

EDIT: We can still enter until the 17th, so if we act quickly...
