GAME RULES

Players must predict the finishing order of each driver on the grid.

You can view your own entry's predictions at any time.

Other player's predictions will become visible as soon as a race starts.

There are no prizes, rewards, or payouts for taking part in free games.

You can only enter the free games once per round.

You can enter paid games as many times as you like, but you must pay the entry fee each time.

Entries to a round will close at the start of Q1.

You can edit your entry any time before entries to the round close. Entries can not be modified once a round closes.

When calculating results, entries are sorted by number of correct predictions, followed by a position score.

An entry's position score indicates how correct each of the entry's predictions were. It is calculated by looking at each prediction and comparing this to the result. This difference is added to the position score. For example, if an entry predicts a driver will finish 10th, but they finish 20th, then 10 is added to this value. If an entry predicts a driver will finish 5th but they finish 1st, 4 will be added to this value. The lower this position score, the higher up the rankings the entry will be.

If after entries have been sorted by number of correct predictions and then the prediction score, a PredictTheGrid game has multiple winners, the prize pot will be distributed evenly between them.

If there is one winner of a PredictTheGrid game, then the prize pot will go to them entirely.

If a driver is replaced before a session starts due to illness or any other reason, then replacement drivers will automatically be assigned to the position of the replaced driver in each entry. However, as per described in the rules above, entries can be edited any time before a round closes.

If a driver is not classified or could not take part in the race and could not be replaced in time, then that entry will be void and will not count towards an entry's number of correct predictions or and entry's position score.

Sprint qualifying races are not included in any calculations for PredictTheGrid at this time.

All of the results and payouts are based on the official race results published by the FIA at Formula1.com.

If the official race classification has not been published or finalised within 48 hours of the completion of the race for any reason, the results of the competition will be based on whatever the results state at that time.

Final results will be published, and the payout process will commence within 72 hours of the completion of the race.

All deposits into prize funds will be subject to a 20% deduction paid to PredictTheGrid for operating fees.

All of these rules are subject to the PredictTheGrid Terms & Conditions.
