Rules and Regulations

Object of the Game

underSteer is a motorsport tipping competition. The idea of the V8 competition is to pick the top ten qualifying results and the race results for the final race of each round of the V8 Supercar Championship. Simply drag the drivers onto the grid in the order you expect them to qualify and race.

Scoring

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

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

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

Classification

Results will be sourced from www.v8supercars.com.au. Please note, that for Sandown and Bathurst the results will be based on car number because the driver pairings can change before the race.

If a driver 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 driver 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 drivers 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 driver lineup they will not be entered in the results, therefore all drivers 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.

Driver Substitutions

If a driver is substituted for another during or just prior to the race weekend then your picks will be updated to show the new driver in the position where you had the other driver. For example, if Grant Denyer has to stand in for Steven Johnson due to a last minute illness then everyone's picks will be updated to show Denyer in the position they had Johnson.
