Ok Ali G,
Here is my updated pick list for the WSBK round of the ASBK.
I have made some minor changes as Cocko doesn’t appear to be riding this year and McMartin is in and he can ride a bike thats for sure.

1 Jamie Stauffer (Ducati)
2 Wayne Maxwell (Honda)
3 Josh Waters (Suzuki)
4 Shannon Johnson (KTM)
5 Glenn Allerton (Honda)
6 Dan Stauffer (Aprilia)
7Jordan Burgess (Ducati)
8 Shawn Giles (Suzuki)
9 Robert Bugden (Suzuki)
10 Kris McLaren (Honda)
11 Craig McMartin (Ducati)

Truth is, I don’t know who will be in the top ten, this is such a guess, but I do think Jamie will win.

We’ll be opening the tipping comp for the opening ASBK round on Tuesday, 23 February and it will feature the full finalised rule set. Tell all your friends and get them on here, the more people the better! And we encourage current racers to come on and vote for themselves too!

Hello Blokes,
I know my pics seem a bit strange, but stop and think about it,….as far fetched as my pics seem, it could well be a reality.
Truth is any of those top 12 riders could win on the right day and machine.
Who knows what will happen and if my pics are wrong, then so be it, but wouldn’t it be great if the field is as unpredictable as this?
I totally agree with you Ali G, the list of riders shows great depth.

Tipping isn’t open just yet mate, we’ll have a new thread for each round lol. But, since you’ve jumped the start I might just lock you in so you can’t change them after this upcoming test! Allerton eighth??? Giles 11th??? Haha Gee whiz. That list just shows how deep the field is in 2010 despite any off-track controversy that’s been happening.

I’ll be finalising the tipping early next month in time for ASBK round one at the Island. Any last suggestions or are we happy as is? For 2010 we will have tipping comps for ASBK, MX Nationals and Super X in Australia. Thanks, AG.

maybe Motoonline can have a rate grid girls thing like some of the other motorsport websites do??

that would be a massive favourite. no aussie moto websites do anything like that (that i know of) and i think its a shame!

Hey angry ant, see you at the track,….Hahaha

Pen — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:13:23 +0000

Well,….I would go onto the grid in a mankini and microphone, interview all of the girls, consult with my panel of experts and pretty much run a grid girl comp.
Lift the standards here I think Bone

hey pen, seriously on that note – the grid girls most of the asbk teams use from what i have seen are RUBBISH!!!

on the other hand the woodstock girls were great in 2009 and so were the iveco girls at the motoGP, Bone was chattin up all the birds down there. they dig the mullet!

it was my pleasure to let them get a photo with the bone. they love it!

so on my first point, i am hoping to see a turnaround this year in grid candy from the teams. if i don;t see better ones, the bone might be forced to take action and create an auditioning panel with me, me bro and me mate jacko. we’ll rate em and send em on there merry way.

Any more input for this one guys??? Will be finalising details shortly and posting up the rules. Final piece of information that I thought of was that the tipping for all events will close at midnight the night before the first practice session of the weekend. Tell your mates!

I think I like the option of scoring the top five for both the leading classes in whatever series it is that we are tipping. The aim of the game is to keep users interested through the course of the season, as well as making the point tallies simple enough to add up quickly following each round (hey, I'm a writer, always sucked at maths lol).

Following the initial feedback, what I would like to do is use a similar structure to the one above, but if you do happen to tip the round winner then you get three points instead of one just so you get a greater reward for tipping the winner. From that point we can tally up both classes quite easily, and then combine the scores to determine the overall winner.

Now, instead of using the points that we accumulated in our tipping for the actual championship points, I'd like to make it so the user who wins the tipping round overall gets 25 points, second gets 22, third 20, fourth 18, fifth 16, all the way down to one point for 20th. If your out of the top 20 then you get zero for the round.

This is pretty much like they do in Super X when they have the 'Triple Challenge' etc, accumulate points in the races scored on the night, but in the end they only get 25 for winning overall and so on so the championship race stays nice and tight throughout the series.

Sound okay? Thanks for the input so far! For those who are confused at this point, don't worry, I'll post an official rules update once we discuss some things and get it all sorted.

ok,….so run it like a race?

By: krusty74

krusty74 — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 22:01:37 +0000

maybe top 5 with a point cor a correct rider in any position, but actual points for correct position….. eg… 25 for 1st???
