Post by 10 n Pole Admin » Thu Mar 07, 2013 2:30 pm

We are thrilled to launch the 2013 10 'n' Pole Competition with a brand new look.

Welcome to the thirteenth season of this exciting competition where you predict the top 10 finishers in addition to the Pole setter for each of the 19 Formula 1 races in 2013.

This year, we are introducing a brand new interface for the competition which will provide a much better experience and a much quicker sending out of the results. As always we need your support to increase the number of participants so please spread the word!

You can check out the new competition interface here

You can register at anytime at http://newsonf1.net/10npole/registration.php

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

The competition as always remains free and in 2013 we are once again offering exciting prizes with major prizes 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 2013 are:
