Fe Mini F1 fantasy league from this weekend

The f1 fantasy league will be enabled for the remaining races of this season from this weekends race.

The intention was to offer a prize of some sort to the winner of the mini league(the top manager over 4 remaining races) but the the short time for Singapore race means that the the prize winning races would be last 3 only (Japan, China and Brazil)

Now some questions you must be dying to ask
What the heck were you doing for the whole season?
Plain and simply nothing. You might or might not be aware that unlike other sports, f1 is a bit different in how it operates. There are legally licensed websites, service providers and fantasy league operators. Needless to say there is a huge money involved to gain those rights. We can operate a legal f1 site/service subject to approval which unfortunately is pretty hard to gain. We were last year exposed to claims of copyright violation as a permission to run a f1 fantasy league was never obtained. After being warned by some well wishers, i had to stop the exercise here for some time till such time we took the proper permission so as to not put this domain at risk for closure. An incidents with a game in our arcade and a legal notice for that further compelled me to go the proper route to avoid any risk to the whole domain.

Whats the status now?
Yes. I have been talking to the f1 administration and domain experts over the past few months over the f1 domain and the ability to have a trademark in the domain. Its been a long wait but after months of waiting, i am happy to say that subject to certain conditions, we have been granted the license to run the f1 fantasy league and a f1 community/information site by the f1 legal team. Its been a long wait yes, but its nice to do the things with peace of mind, especially when it comes to mega budget sports like f1(with mega budget libels also )

For the remainder of this season, we will finish off with the league here itself We will be in position to offer a lot more in a better format from next season(and that also includes pre-season testing)

Thank You.

ps: Come back tonight to register your teams for the Sunday race. Registrations are closed right now while i update the database with new changes.
