Why is this so popular? It is just chance isn't it? Just announce a winner and be done with it No offence intended, I just don't get it.. :S But oh well, may the luckiest win!
Ive added the updated league table to the OP. Looking close! and have to laugh at Bergy as he scores his first points but goes down the table Its a sweepstake! but instead of winning money, you win pride and Forum Bragging rights
It's also just a chance to laugh at whoever gets the HRTs and the Virgins but that goes with what Bando said about bragging rights. Kind of annoyed that even though I had Schumacher last round I only got 10 points and dropped down the table.
Ok I never herd the word "sweepstake" before and hadn't bothered to look it up. I also missed the "bartering" which changed the whole thing. I thought you just randomly gave out drivers and then people got points after the race.. Well I get it now lol feel soo stupid
El-Bando - its not nice to laugh at the mentally challenged! I hope I get the job of picking a driver for YOU so watch out. Anyway who the hell is Norro - sounds like projectile vomiting to me?
