John Privett Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 John, yes you're in the mini league. I like the team name - with its aviation hint! Erfolg, as Pete says, you're in the main league, just need to sign up to our mini league now. We're up to12 entrants so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Pete, I see you managed to change your team name. Was that through the site, or with a little help from Adam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yes, John, I had an email from Adam this morning and he's fixed it - he didn't mention whether it'll become a user-editable option, though. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find the link to 'Friends Leagues' in the header bar, then 'Join League' and insert the details from the table in John's post above.

Pete B Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I can't link to each page you want as I'm logged-in and it tells me I already have a team. Make sure you are logged in and get to the Game Page. Once you are there, the link is in the header of the page: click on 'Friends Leagues' , then when that page loads, click on 'Join League', and insert: Modelflying Forumites - Passcode: 651923 Hope that helps....

John Privett Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 There was a database failure on the badger site yesterday evening and a small amount of data was not able to be restored from the backups. It appears that Erfolg and Karl are both affected though. So can they both please register again. Adam at badgergp apologises for this and assures me that more resilience has been put in place to minimise the risk of it happening again. At least there's still plenty of time before the season kicks off to get everything sorted out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think I have done everything. Was tempted to drop my number 3 driver, I am not sure he will cut the mustard.His days may be numbered. Seems that reliability will be the issue early on, at least. What I am not clear about this year is it permitted for the engine builder to make major changes, or are the designs fixed as last year?

John Privett Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Right then folks, reminder time! Regulars from last year will recall that this is about the time I urge you, "DON'T FORGET YOUR PREDICTIONS!" So by way of an explanation for the newbies this year; as well as winning points for our team's performance in each race, we also get to predict various outcomes and gain 15 extra points for each correct prediction. Predictions are for the race results, 1st, 2nd and 3rd, also pole position, fastest lap and the number of safety car incidents in the race. Get all three podium postions right and there's an additional bonus of 15 points - get all the predictions right and there's an additional 30 points bonus - that makes a possible bonus score of 105 points from the predictions. Predictions have to be made individually for each race, and can be entered at any time after the previous race up until the start of qualifying. Clearly if you don't enter any predictions you're throwing away the chance of gaining extra points. You can change your predictions as many times as you want - it's whatever predictions you have in place when qualifying starts that counts. So it's a good idea to enter a set of "banker" predictions well ahead of the race. You can then change them if you want in the light of practice performance, but if for some reason you forget, or can't get online at the vital moment, or whatever, then you still have some predictions entered. Final point - don't forget it's an early start for qualifying (and the race) at silly o'clock in the morning - so don't necessarily rely on doing your predictions just before qualifying starts! It's going to be a fascinating weekend, I reckon. First practice starts in just under an hour from now, qualifying and race at 6am (UK time) on Sat/Sun.

John Privett Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Oh, and if any others want to join badgergp and our mini-league, please do so! We've got 15 on-board so far, but room for more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Brave? Or stupid! Though I reckon just about anything could happen this weekend! I'd be amazed though - and I'd have to admit, disappointed too - if, despite their 'difficulties' Vettel is strutting around at the end of the race once again sticking his finger in everyones' faces...

Tony H Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Looks like Badgergp has messed up again, qualifying is over and badgergp still hasn't locked down your predictions!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony H Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 So did I, which I predicted a week ago. I'm guessing everyone will get it right now since you can still change it after the event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 No, Adam's looking into it now and can reverse-out any changes made after the start of quali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 OK - all is good... Reply from Adam; "I've double checked and can confirm that any prediction changes aren't saved. It may appear that they do but there's a big red message saying the game is locked and changes to team and predictions are not saved. All good I think. If you make a change and then refresh you'll find the change hasn't been saved." I've suggested to him that in a future site update it might be good to remove or disable the edit option whilst the game is locked so it doesn't look like you can make changes.
