PPP: Rules

TotalF1.com's 'Pick The Pole And Podium' competition is a FREE competition where users predict the outcome of the Grands Prix of the 2008 Formula 1 season. Points are earned depending on how accurate their predictions are.

Rules:
Entry
Entry is FREE.
Entrants must be registered and logged in TotalF1.com members to enter and play.
Entry is limited to 1 (one) entry per person. If it is deemed a user has multiple entries they will be removed from the competition.

'Picking'
Once logged in a user can submit picks for the current round and two future rounds of the current Formula 1 season as long as the round is still open.

Each round closes at the commencement of the Qualifying session for that round. After this time, 'Picks' for that round can no longer be submitted.

Each user can modify their 'picks' up until the closing time for each round.

'Picks' must be submitted via the user interface at http://www.totalf1.com/ before the round closes. 'Picks' submitted via any other means will not be accepted.

Tips are private until their round has closed. After a round has closed to 'Picking', all tips for that round become 'open' and are viewable to all Entrants.

• 150 points will be awarded each time an Entrant correctly predicts the Driver who starts from Pole Position.
