Post by 10 n Pole Admin » Wed Feb 29, 2012 10:37 pm

The 2012 10 'n' Pole Competition is now ready to accept your picks.

Welcome to the twelfth season of the exciting competition 10 'n' Pole where you predict the top 10 finishers in addition to the Pole setter for each of the 20 Formula 1 races in 2012.

We aim to top 3300 players in the competition this season. As always that needs your help so please spread the word!

You can register at anytime at http://www.newsonf1.com/10npole/register.htm

Those already in the competition do not need to register again.

The competition as always remains free and in 2012 we are once again offering exciting prizes with all top 20 finishers winning a prize in addition to each individual round winner. There is also a prize for the perfect pick. If a player picks the top 10 finishers in the exact order as well as the pole setter, they win a $200 Gift Certificate from NewsOnF1.

The major prizes in 2012 are:

A Grand Prize of $250 (Gift Certificate from NewsOnF1 USA Online Store) to the overall winner of the competition

A Second Prize of $150 (Gift Certificate from NewsOnF1 USA Online Store) to the second placed player in the competition overall.
