Introduction
The starbal.net A1 tipping game is an online prediction game where players predict the outcome of each A1 Grand Prix race.
A1 Grand Prix consists of 11 races per season where individual countries race against each other.
Members need to pay R100.00 to be able to join our tipping game. No more payments are neccesary for the remainder of the season. For each race, R5.00 of your entrance fee will automatically be entered into a pool.
Prizes
The
Model Spot has sponsored our grand prize for the 2008/2009 season. A
1/43 Scale 2007/08 Amalgam model car and a limited edition Drivers Podium Cap that the drivers wear on the podium.
Points will be allocated according to how accurate your predictions are. The tipper with the most correct predictions in each race will win a starbal.net voucher (to the amount of the pool) to purchase anything from the starbal.net web online shopping store.
How do I join?
How do I submit my tips ?
For each race-weekend , you need to submit the 1st, 2nd and 3rd qualifiers ONCE and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd race positions ONCE.
The A1 Grand Prix weekend consists of 4 qualifying sessions and 2 races. Your prediction for qualifying will then be matched against the outcome of the 4 qualifying sessions.
You keep the points for the session where you were most accurate. The same principle goes for the two races - your tips are matched against the sprint and feature race. Again, you keep the points where you were most accurate.
The deadline for tipping is on the Friday of the race weekend at 23:00 (GMT +2). On the starbal.net homepage, a counter will give you more information on how much time is left to submit your tips.
