Run an F1 prediction league with your mates

A private F1 prediction league for you and your mates. Every race you predict the top 10 finishing order plus the fastest-lap driver and time before qualifying locks. Picks stay hidden until lock, then revealed to the league. Scoring is automatic, no spreadsheet, no arguments. Live leaderboard, season picks, one wildcard swap, race reports and prize-pot tracking. Your league's first 3 race weekends are free. After that one person unlocks it for A$39 and everyone they invite plays free.
My mates and I are properly into F1, and for a couple of seasons we ran our own predictions league off a spreadsheet. It was a mess. Points got calculated wrong, someone's picks never made it in, races got missed entirely, and half the season was spent arguing about the standings instead of the racing.
So I built the thing we actually wanted. Predict the top 10 before qualifying locks, plus the fastest lap driver and time. Picks stay hidden until lock so nobody copies, then everyone sees everyone's. Scoring happens automatically, no spreadsheet, no arguments.
Honestly this has gone through so many iterations. I rebuilt it more times than I want to admit and nearly quit at several points. But it works now, my mates use it every race weekend, and I want to keep building on it, so I'm putting it out into the world to see what people think.
The pricing I really wasn't sure how to approach. Charging every player felt wrong; nobody's mates are individually subscribing to a group game. So: your league's first 3 race weekends are free, and after that one person unlocks it for A$39 and everyone they invite plays free, that covers the rest of this season and all of 2027.
If you run a prediction pool with friends, F1 or otherwise, I'd genuinely love to hear how you went building yours. And if you try mine, tell me what's missing, I'm constantly updating it.
Cheers.
