Every sport has its particular scoring. For more information on other sports, check out the MISC section on our rules page.
In the event of race retirements, the finishing position of drivers that do not finish the race will be ordered by the number of laps completed. For example, if two drivers retire, the driver that completes more laps will have the better finishing position. If multiple drivers complete the same number of laps, they will grade as tied for the same finishing position. For example, if 20 drivers start a race and two drivers fail to finish, the driver that completes more laps will be considered the 19th-place finisher. If they both complete the same amount of laps, they will both be awarded 19th place.
Penalties
We grade F1 pick'em picks as fast as possible. Our grading will capture penalties handed down by F1 during the race or soon after its conclusion. If a penalty is assessed late, it will not be factored into grading, much like an NBA stat correction.
Grid penalties taken after qualifying will not be factored into the grading of "qualifying position" — i.e., the drivers will be graded in the order in which they qualify during the qualifying session, and NOT the final order of the grid.
Fastest Laps - If a racer records the overall fastest lap of the race.
Sprints - In sprint qualification events, the "finishing position" is graded by the order in which drivers finish the sprint, not necessarily in the order of the starting grid for the race to follow.
Lowest Score Wins Rivals - This applies when the scored stat is deemed as a "negative" stat. In these instances, the player with the lowest score is deemed the winner, and any adjustment associated with the Rival is added to the favorite's score. For example, in a Max Verstappen (+3.5) vs. Lewis Hamilton Rival, if Verstappen finishes 2nd and Hamilton finishes 5th, Hamilton would be graded as the winner because Verstappen would have 3.5 added to his finishing position.
