Its a bit late I guess the 1st race starts in about an hour and qualifying has already been run. Good to see Jamie Whincup compeditive in the 88 Falcon. He has supprised me with his performance so far this year.

Hey guys, some updates to the tipping system as follows:

- New Scoring system (explained below)
- Users can view other users tips/results after the friday cutoff point
- Some screens changed to stop confusion
- Various bugfixes

Its still not perfect, but its getting there.

The new scoring system:

As the old system was to hard to get any score, we have revised the system to include a trifecta type system. You select 3 names for the trifecta, and for every one of your selections that get in the top 3, you score 5 points. So if you select all 3 drivers, but not in the right order, you still get 15 points. It is still 5 points for the fastest lap

Any bugs/complaints can you please submit them to me via PM asap with screenshots if possible and a description of what you were trying to do.

Regards,
Phill

Are we going to do the tipping or something similar this year? Or should we use another 3rd party based solution? I think it would be a great idea, if it can somehow be managed.
