F1 Caption Game 2024 - QATARFormula 1

[MaxAttack]

Very close at the top and I kick myself for missing a couple entries, that podium probably could have been mine. Well done @XJ40 on beating me there.

Generally if I don't think of something on first viewing nothing will come so those non entries really ended up hurting me overall.

 

[Pezzarinho17]

Well done to everyone who has taken part this year, some cracking entries every round. Thank you of course to @Jimlaad43 for running the competition!

This, but not prematurely this time!

 

[XJ40]

I'm happy with the result! Well done everybody! Time to truly unleash my sense of humour next year. Might have to run a caption or two past @Touring Mars to ensure AUP compliancy

Happy New Year everybody

 

[Flex0r]

Not a bad run, forgot a few rounds, happy with 5th.

Thanks @Jimlaad43 for running the competition and the rest for the funny captions.

Happy new year!

F1 Caption Game rules 2021.
COMPETITION RULES
Captions and Images

• All captions must be your own work. Captions that are deemed too similar to existing submitted captions may be disqualified.
• If you decide to change or submit a new caption, you must name your new caption as "FINAL ENTRY". This cannot be changed once denoted. If multiple captions are submitted without any being noted as final entry, your first submission will be put forward for voting.
• Captions must be in text format only. Weblinks can be included as part of a sentence, but captions must include some text and may not simply be a link to a picture.
• All captions must comply with the forum rules. Captions deemed to be inappropriate e.g. explicit sexual references, offensive comments etc. may be disqualified.
• All moderation staff can delete any posts for any reason. All entries are subject to approval by the moderation staff and all moderating decisions are final.
• The winner of each Round will be allowed to select an image for a future round. Due to short turnaround between the ever-expanding calendar, it won't be possible to get the winner to find suitable pictures in a reasonably short time. As such, if you win a round, feel free to submit photos to the moderator at a future round before it is updated. It is the moderator's discretion as to whether that photo will be used or not.
• Images submitted by Round Winners must be of reasonable size and quality and are subject to approval by the moderation team i.e. unsuitable images e.g. images depicting accidents resulting in injury or other inappropriate material will not be used.
• Round Winners who select an image for the subsequent round must wait at least 3 hours before submitting a caption for their own picture. Captions posted earlier than this will not be admitted to the poll.

Voting

• Each round, captions will be gathered and posted in the voting thread (see below) and subjected to a public vote. Anyone is allowed to vote, but those who have entered a round must vote in that round or they will not score any points for however many votes they gain, and may not vote for their own caption. Captions voted for by their authors will be disqualified. Repeat offenders will be banned from the thread.
• You have three votes and you can either split your votes 2-1, or give three captions one vote each. You must use all three votes.
• Each caption will be assigned a letter code, and votes should be cast as follows:
  
  
  

  A - 1
  B - 1
  C - 1

  
  or
  
  

  A - 2
  B - 1

• You cannot edit your votes once they have been cast, so please post carefully. Edited voting posts will be discounted.
• Voting will be carried out in a separate voting thread here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...-voting-caption-of-the-year-final-two.386445/ Please also subscribe/watch that thread if you want to play.

Scoring
Points are awarded to the captions that receive the most votes in the voting round. There are ten scoring positions:

1st - 25 points
2nd - 18 points
3rd - 15 points
4th - 12 points
5th - 10 points
6th - 8 points
7th - 6 points
8th - 4 points
9th - 2 points
10th - 1 point

In the event of a tie for any position, points are averaged and shared (rounding down where necessary), e.g. two people tied for 4th will both receive 11 pts ((12+10)/2); 3 people tied for 1st will receive 19 pts ((25+18+15)/3) etc.

In the event of tied scores in the final standings, the person with the most "overall wins" will be awarded the title. Shared wins will be counted second.
