Waris got something like 7 penalties last year for missing deadlines so you're not THAT bad.

Well, I also missed the deadline this time, because of Internet connection trouble hitting me for the past few days. So I guess a penalty's on the cards for me too...

Don't really know how double points work, I'm new to this; but if it could compensate for the penalty I'm getting this round I'd surely use them now.

Dude, I think you get disqualified if you don't get your predictions in before qualifying. And double points wouldn't help to make up for the penalty, they would make it worse!
