Rules and Regulations

Object of the Game

underSteer is a motorsport tipping competition. The idea of the MotoGP competition is to pick the top 6 qualifying results and all race results for each round of the MotoGP World Championship. Simply drag the riders onto the grid in the order you expect them to qualify and race.

Scoring

In qualifying you must pick the top six riders. The points will be awarded as follows:

In the race you must pick the entire field's positions and you must mark which riders will not finish the race (DNF). The points will be awarded as follows:

* Each round has a bonus rider. These points will be awarded for correctly picking this rider's race position and DNF status in the race or for correctly picking this rider's qualifying position. The bonus rider for each round is listed on the Calendar page and is highlighted on the Enter Picks page.

Classification

Results will be sourced from motogp.com.

If a rider does not make it to the race start (without being substituted) due to non-qualifying, disqualification, injury or mechanical failure they will be classified at the back of the grid. If more than one rider falls into this category then the order will be determined by their qualifying position initially, or else their fastest lap time in the practice and qualifying sessions up to that point if they didn't qualify. Disqualified riders will always be classified behind all others and will be placed in entry number order.

If wildcards participate in a round and are not listed in the underSteer rider lineup they will not be entered in the results, therefore all riders beneath them will be "moved up in the order".

Entering Picks

Picks must be entered before the Cut Off Time for each round. The Cut Off Times are shown in your local time as determined by your computer's settings, they are the time of the first practice session for each round. It is recommended that picks are entered earlier to avoid disappointment if there is a problem with the web server. If picks are not entered for the round then your picks from the previous round will be used automatically.

Joining Late

Punters that join after the first round will be awarded the current lowest score. This score will be credited to the punter when scores are calculated at the following round.

Rider Substitutions

If a rider is substituted for another during or just prior to the race weekend then your picks will be updated to show the new rider in the position where you had the other rider. For example, if Tohru Ukawa has to stand in for Nicky Hayden due to a last minute illness then everyone's picks will be updated to show Ukawa in the position they had Hayden. If Nicky Hayden is substituted by a rider from a different team (eg/ Shinya Nakano) and Tohru Ukawa substitutes for Shinya Nakano, then everyone's picks will be updated to show Nakano in the position they had Hayden and Ukawa in the position they had Nakano.
