Notes from the organizer: This grand prix will be in the Nice Numbers Attack format. Qualifying (running Monday to Friday) will be against Prune, with the actual race (running Saturday and Sunday) against Prime.
Nice rules: Larges are 10, 25, and 50; smalls are 1-9. The target is 51-500 and can always be made exactly within 4 steps (although you can use more if you want).
The top 20 in qualifying will be awarded additional actual race points as follows: 20 for 1st, 19 for 2nd, 18 for 3rd etc, all the way down to 1 point for 20th. These additional actual race points will then be added to your actual race score for a final total, which will determine the final grand prix standings (for example, if you qualify 1st and score 190 in the numbers attack in the actual race, your total will be 20 (for qualifying) + 190 (actual race score) = 210)
Points will then be allocated at the end of each grand prix the same way Formula 1 points are allocated: 1st place - 25 points; 2nd -18; 3rd - 15; 4th -12; 5th - 10; 6th - 8; 7th - 6; 8th - 4; 9th - 2; 10th – 1. The person with the highest number of accumulated points at the end of the season will be declared the champion!
You don’t have to finish in the top 20, or even participate at all, in qualifying to enter the actual race, but obviously you will be at a disadvantage as you won’t have any additional points to start with.
If you enter qualifying and you don’t take part in the actual race, you will be adjudged to have “crashed” in the race.
By entering this grand prix, you don't have to commit to entering all the other races in the season – you can race in as many or as few as you like. There will be a new independent sign-up for each qualifying and actual race event.
Additional race points earned in qualifying will be shared in the event of any ties. Ties in the actual race (after adding into account the additional race points earned from qualifying) will be determined firstly by points scored in the actual race alone, secondly by number of maxes in the actual race, thirdly by number of maxes in qualifying, and finally (unless it is a max game) by the lowest bot opponent score in the actual race. Positions (and grand prix points) will be shared if still a tie.
