FPOTM Rules... Constructors Points

[Wycco]

OK- well almost unanimously people voted to allow 3 drivers per team.

So... that brings up another question... How should constructors points be decided?

The three suggestions so far have been:

Add Up All Drivers Scores For Each Team.

Pro: All Drivers Count- this is the accumulated score for the team.
Con: Smaller teams would find it harder to compete- 3 person teams would be VERY dominant.

Predetermine 2 drivers from each team to count in championship.

Pro: 2 member teams would have almost equal footing with 3 member teams since- the pool of possible point earners would be equal.
Con: The third member in 3 member teams would feel left out- as a third wheel.

Top two point scorers from each team count for constructors championship.

Pro: Same # of point scorers for 2 member teams and 3 member teams- no one should feel left out- everyone gets to compete on equal footing.
Con: This would lean slightly in favor of 3 member teams over 2 member teams- since if one 3 member team has a driver who is a slacker he wouldn't hold the team down.



I shall give this till the end of the month (June) to decide how the rules change. So don't vote yet IF you're not sure what selection you prefer... Someone might suggest a 4th option.

Vote ends End Of June. (gives me a month to edit the code!!! )

Personally I'm leaning towards top 2 point scorers from each team determine team score- although I'm open to pursuasion if you want my vote elsewhere.

Alternatively counting all drivers would be OK with me- although that would favor teams with 3 members!

I'm saving my vote till I hear everyones opinion!

I agree with you. I mentioned 2 pre-determined drivers earlier and I what I meant was that the decision should be made within the team, on a race per race basis (up to minutes before the start). It doesn't need to be officially communicated, since it would be an "internal" agreement...I know, I know, some could call it "team orders".

I don't feel that the 3rd driver would be entirely left out. On the contrary, it adds some spice to the race. Any driver of the team could not make some races, and at the end of the day, they would all have participated in the season. And if all 3 can make it, then...may the best man or woman win!

So my vote goes to the top 2 drivers per team, all drivers keeping their points for the WDC. Again, I'd like to point out that should ALL the teams reach a minimum of 3 drivers in the future, then we should consider entering all 3 for the WCC.

Looking forward to hearing more comments.
