FF1 Rules 2021

February 2021 Issue 21.0
25 YEARS OF FF1
Hello, is there anybody there..... in these strange
days I'm just checking.
25 years ago we started FF1, ah 1996, Damon Hill
won the World Championship in a Williams, England
made it to the semi finals of Euro 96 and we sang
"Three Lions" all summer in the pubs, remember
that, pubs a place we use to get together and drink
and put the world to rights..
So welcome to FF1 2021, it can't be any crazier than
2020 (or can it) , the season will be a 23 race season
(maybe), provisional calendar is shown on the next
page but will be subject to whatever happens, I will
try to my best to keep you up to date but please
check on the F1 website.
There has been plenty of comings & goings, team
name changes, the return of Fernando Alonso and
the return of the name Schumacher to the grid.
But as with every year there is still some important
questions that still need answering –
Can Rich Clark make it title number two or will he
fade away like the rest of us?
Where did Vettel's hair go?
How long will it take Ady Twigg to lose interest in
the season?
Can Derby and Forest stay up this season??
Well they might not be that important but what is
important is that Fantasy Formula One is about
having a good laugh.
The entry fee is just £3 per team and you’re
allowed to put in as many teams as you like (within
reason).
The scoring is the same as last year and the rules
on the next few pages for those who are new or
have forgot.
The closing date for all entries and money is
Monday 22nd March (Monday before the first
Grand Prix).
The prizes are as follows –
A bottle of wine to the winner of each grand prix.
All the money left over in the prize fund after all the
other prizes have been paid for will be divided up as
follows
1st
Place - 50%
2nd
Place - 30%
3rd
Place - 20%
The top three will also receive a medal.
The total prize money will be announced after all the
teams are in.
Last year’s pay out was –
1st
place £109
2nd
place £65.40
3rd
place £43.60
SO GET THEM TEAMS IN AND GOOD LUCK……………

7. JOKERS
. Each team will have 2 jokers to play during any race in the season, when
played your team will score double points.
. Both jokers MUST be played at two different races during the season, if a
team does not play their jokers by the end of season their jokers will be
played for them automatically.
.To play a joker you must inform Mick Brown or your local representative
no later than the Wednesday night prior to the race on the following
numbers -
Mobile 0785 130 3323
or E-Mail Ilkeston-ff1@ntlworld.com
Note – If you score a negative score with a joker, the negative score will be
doubled.
MISC
Any driver being replaced for any reason apart from being banned, your
scoring will continue with your new driver.
If your driver is banned for a race you will score -100 points for that race,
the engines and chassis will score as normal with the replacement driver
If a team pulls out for any reason (as Marussia and Caterham did) and your
team has an element of that team (driver ,engine or constructor) that
element will score zero points for the rest of the season.
In the event of a tie first and second place prizes will be divided out equally
but the FF1 title will go to the team that has achieved the best position in a
race (as per F1).
There is no limit to the number of teams you are allowed to enter (within
reason)
All decisions by the FF1 committee are final
