For thine year of 2015 Anno Domini, Formula Oppo shall have revised rules!

Thine rules are as follows: For every race thou will pick a driver who thou think will place first. Thou will then pick a different driver for second place. Then shalt thou pick a third, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt pick, and the number of the picking shall be three. Four shalt thou not pick, neither pick thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then pickest thou thy Pole Position diver.

Thine points shall be awarded in thus manner:

1 st - 25 points

2 nd - 18 points

3 rd - 15 points

Pole Position- 5 points

If thou chooses to curse a driver to crash out or retire first, then thou shalt be awarded 5 points . If said driver finishes the race, then thou shall be deducted 5 points from the race total, fore thou haft been a dick and must be punished. If the driver still fails to finish, but is not the first out, thou shall be awarded no points . This gambling carries a great risk, but may also pay out a sum most helpful.

Thou shalt make thine driver picks known when a post asking for them is posted. Thou shalt have until Q1 to make up thine minds or they shall forfeit said round and be awarded no points because thou haft been a sloth.

Thou shalt not miss more than 4 races. If thou art absent for 5 or more races thou shalt be kickethed to thine curb like Marussia F1. Thine points shall be rendered nil and thou shalt live in infamy.

Thine winner shall be the one who finishes the season with the most points. He or she shall receive a prize most coveted, The Gilded Bernie. Last year's winner shall send The Gilded Bernie to the winner of this year.

If there is any addendum that thou wish to add to thine rules speaketh now. Any further changes to the rules are subject to FIA judgment.

The first round begins on the 7th of March, 2015.

just like the F1, things can change mid-season because Bernie is fickle and you are unimportant

Doing it this year just because of ye olde english.

But how many tokens do we get for in-season development?

I expect you to pick Marcus Ericsson, and fail miserably.

I'm really stoked about this season; hope my enthusiasm isn't completely unfounded...

But only if it gets unanimous support, right? We're also allowed to vote our competitors out it it puts us in a better position, right?

Any points for guessing the date of the Marussia/Manor grid return or final whimper?

Thanks to my amazing ecuadorian english skills I understood this part:

1 st - 25 points

2 nd - 18 points

3 rd - 15 points

Pole Position- 5 points

I guess that's enough, I'm in!

The Gilded Bernie? Is that new? Are there pictures?

1. Hamilton

2. Rosberg

3. Bottas

Oh, wait... we haven't started yet.

"Until Q1" means before they enter the track to begin Q1?

Before the scheduled start time of Q1

Is there a ban on changing avatar pictures during the season?

A few questions: Will there be a prize for predicting the number of laps completed and number of competitors taken out by Crashdor each week? How does one sign up or register for the season and to whom or where do we post our selections prior to Q1? I'm in. Just point me towards our resident Charlie and race control!

This is the first time this has been reposted in which I got past the second sentence. I'm glad I did, because by the fourth sentence the perfectly executed homage to the one and only infallible HHG Operators Manual revealed itself.

I bestow many stars upon you, and resolve to embark upon a quest, as I have been ordered by the Arch Duke of Maxyenko, the apostle of the one true Brt himself. Verily, I shall go forth, accompanied by the many Oppo's of the round Kinja, to seek the Holy Pick.

Along the way we may also halt to drink of the refreshing tonic that is laughing at a friendly jester Pastor Maldonado.

Come Patsy!

Ask Max if he can add a line with this entered for every race as the "house" or something. Would be fun to see how it ended up.

We have up until Q1, or until Q1 finishes to make our picks?

Also, add me to this as well. I need to be more fastidious in my watching this year.

I'm stupid. If I am making a pick for who will be on pole, then why would pick selection run until the end of Q1? Freaking stupid.

Hey where do you watch quali from, or do you?

NBCSN airs it live typically or I don't watch it if it's at some odd hour.

To all interested... the golden Bernie trophy for winning last years FO has just been constructed, and will be unveiled to the world tonight.

While my name is on it for the 2014 season, we are about to enter into a 20 race battle for the right and honor of possessing the golden Bernie for an entire year and adding your name to this most historic and storied award.

The game is afoot gentleman.

Is picking Maldonado first to retire allowed? It just kinda feels like cheating.
