Rules
Draft
Each entrant will draft two F1 drivers, and two Indy drivers that will be your team. Your team drivers will be the same every race, unless you drop or trade them. The draft will be a snake style, with the last pick of the first round getting the 1st pick of the second round. Each team gets 12 hours to make a draft pick, or they will automatically pick the highest rank driver. Draft order is picked by random.

Prizes
Each member donates $10, all of the entry donations will go towards prizes.
The overall winner will get the championship trophy.
The winner of the F1 and Indy points championships will each receive an AR15.com team membership.
Whoever has the highest overall weekly points will win a Pmag.
Whoever has the most high point races will win a Pmag.

Weekly Pick
Each team will pick one driver per race as their weekly pick. The weekly pick can be any driver, including your own, they are separate from your team drivers. Each weekly driver can only be picked once (you will have a different weekly pick every race). Weekly picks must be made before qualifying of that race. If you fail to make a weekly pick on time, or you pick a driver you have picked before, you will receive 0 points for your weekly pick.

Trades, Adds, Drops and Injuries
After the draft, any team may add or drop their drivers for any available driver throughout the season. Teams may also trade drivers, until the trade deadline. The trade deadline is the beginning of qualifying for the Indy Pocono race. All trades, adds and drops should be sent to me by both teams, before qualifying that week. Any trades, adds or drops sent after qualifying begins will take effect after that race weekend. All dropped drivers will have a 48 hour waiver period. The lower ranked team by total points, will have priority if placing a claim on a waiver driver. If a driver will miss a race for medical reasons, a team is permitted to retain that driver and add any available driver, until the original driver is able to race again. The team must drop their extra driver when their original driver returns.

Points
For F1 races, points will be distributed with first place receiving 20 points, and every other position receiving one less, with twentieth place will receiving 1 point. Because Indy car has a shorter season and more drivers, they will receive an extra 5 points per position, with first place receiving 25 points, and twentieth receiving 6. No points will be awarded to any driver who completes less than 70% of the race distance. 1 bonus point will be awarded to the driver on pole position.

I'm in!

The Draft will probably start around March 3rd. Like previous years, everyone will have 12 hours to make a pick so no one has to plan around this. Some people like to PM a list of their preferred draft picks so they just draft whoever is the highest available on their list and there is no wait.

I'll join if there is room.

In to get my ass kicked again.

Placeholder for my entries.

I'm in!!!

I'm most definitely in!  

Everyone has paid so we have 8 teams confirmed right now.

If anyone else is interested in joining they'll have until noon on Friday.  

Friday afternoon the draft order will be randomized and we'll start the draft.

I'm in

Very nice

I'd like to be in on the F1 side, but I don't know the first thing about IndyCar.

A few people are like that and focus on the f1 side. You'd still need to draft 2 Indy drivers and make a pick for Indy races but it's not to difficult. Most of the drivers are ranked by the points they scored last year with some drivers moving up or down based on new teams. Let me know if you want the last spot.

Almost time! If anyone wants to join last minute they have until noon!

I'll randomize the order and post the list here around 1PM. After that whoever is 1st will have up to 12 hours to draft.

A slight change, if you max out your 12 hours and autodraft, you will also autodraft on the proceeding rounds when it becomes your turn, unless you reply to me or this thread before that. That way if someone is busy we don't wait 12 hours for them every round.

Also, like previous years, if you want to make a list of your preferred picks and IM it to me, you can autodraft whoever is first on your list instead of the default list in the OP.

Sounds great, hopefully 1 more joins us.

Sweet!

Lewis Hamilton

Sebastian Vettel

Valterri Bottas

Gonna go with the Ice Man...

Kimi Raikkonen

Massa

I'll have to go with Checo Perez.

We need to speed things up a little bit. Previous years' drafts finished the first weekend and we still have three rounds to go.

Please try to check in if you know your pick is coming up.

Will Power

Sainz

Scott Dixon

Thanks M4A1.

Ryan Hunter-Reay

Tony Kanaan

Charlie Kimball

I'll take Jolyon Palmer

I like to live dangerously, so I'll take the first McLaren.


Alonso

As a McLaren fan I pray that pays off for you! If they are actually sandbagging it'll put to shame what Ford did before Le Mans last year.

Kevin Magnussen

I think they'll start slow but will develop faster than the other mid-level teams and probably end up racing with Williams or Force India for 4th. Plus Alonso always out drives his car.


BTW, there's always one... Did you start a little early for tomorrow?

Sebastian Bourdais

I meant to edit my post to add Rossi. Dumb.

Mikhail Aleshin

Don't forget to make a post in the season thread with the schedule. This is where post your weekly picks for every race by editing your post.

Takuma Sato

Since I'm the last F1 pick, I'll take the crazy ivan.
