TPL Last Man Standing 2015

Today, I present to you, the third edition of TPL's latest F1 related game - Last Man Standing. Who will join previous winners Rob and ELUSIVEJIM as the winner of this exciting game? If you want it to be you, then get yourself signed up and start playing!!

How to Play

You start off with three lives. For each race, you must pick one driver. If that driver finishes in the points, then you live another day and can continue on in the game. If that driver does not finish in the points, then you lose one life. If you lose all your lives, you are eliminated from the game. The winner is the last player remaining in the game. Simple, eh?

Well, as usual, there's always a little twist. You may only pick each driver once and only once during the season, so think carefully about when to use the drivers! Don't worry, there is a nice selection tracker, so you can see who you've got left to pick. Also, I'm not totally cruel. If your selected driver finishes on the podium, you will gain one life back, however, you cannot have more than three.

All selections for a given race must be made by the start of qualifying for that race. If you fail to make a selection for whatever reason, then you will lose a life automatically.

Finally, unlike the other TPL games, this is one you cannot join halfway through the season, due to it's nature. You can miss the first couple of races, but will lose lives accordingly.

New for 2015

For 2015, I've added a couple of additional twists/features:

Free Pass

Since there are 20 races and 18 drivers (for now at least), this means nobody can reach the end of the season. To combat this, I've added in the concept of the Free Pass. If you choose to use the Free Pass, it allows you to effectively skip a race without losing a life. Like a regular prediction, you have until the start of qualifying to either select a driver or a Free Pass. Each player has two Free Passes to use this season.

Auto Pick

If you're unable to pick or forget to pick for a race, the Auto Pick comes into play. At the start of the season, you can submit your driver selections in order, and if you fail to make a prediction for a race, your highest ranked driver that hasn't been selected yet will be chosen as your driver for that race. You can change your Auto Pick order at any time during the season - just as long as I know!

If you fail to make a prediction for a race and you haven't submitted an Auto Pick order, then your Auto Pick order for that race will be the reverse finishing order of the drivers in that race. This will almost certainly result in you losing a life, so ensure your Auto Pick order is up to date.

Your Auto Pick order will transfer from one race to the next. Also, Free Passes cannot be specified in your Auto Pick order.

Tiebreak Procedure

In the event that a tiebreak is needed, the first tiebreak will be number of lives remaining, then how long each player survived in the game and then points scored by each player's selected drivers, . If it's still a tie, then everybody involved is a winner!

Thank you and good luck!
