Pick 3 Yanks

Just pullng this together into 1 thread. Not sure how to get the scores at the end of the #TOC though.

So far, I read...
Is there scope for a 'pick three yanks' comp?

J Andrew Hill

Its a marathon, not a snickers

...

There are only 36 yanks riding so it might be a bit tight for picking 3 but its worth having a go.

Tough to go from the Giro budget to the ToC. Very different beast.

Purist is 4 Americans, 3 Brits and 2 Aussies. Sagan too expensive...

If there are enough for a Los Tres Yanquis comp, then I'll pile in. 30 space credits total would be sensible.

Nah, I would say 40 credits is ok. 30 riders means over 900 combinations.

Busche and

Righto everyone, I think ive got all the teams, and got them correct.

I have a score update after 6 stages

Tom Amos 273*
Joelsim 191
Stumps 152
Ghedebrav 150
Chrisdstripes 146
Stevemarks 144
JAndrewhill 131
TERatcliffe26 127
Nata1ia 113
Livestrongnick 108
NeilG83 88

*Just one slight problem Tom Amos's team was over budget, noticed this as he had the exact team that I wanted but was about .6 off being able to afford it.

Although t just some fun at the end of the day

The best team you could have picked I so far believe would have been Craddock, Phinney and Chris Jones (scoring slightly more the Tom's team)

There aren't many americans, so to drop the budget too much may make it too hard, so lets stick with 40.0.

I might do a calculation where i divide the final total score of a threesome by their total value and see which threesome has the best points per value score, just for fun. bit nerdy maybe.

people need to decide on the credits first, 30 or 40. I have a team for both if it gets up and running.

Personally i would go with 40.
