cgipryan, seeing your name there, yes I believe it was you. I think you won by 3 points  3

Armchair Cyclist : I am sorry I made that remake about the smiley, I had a long day of answering posts on here regarding the stage and you came on to say you had noticed, but hadn't thought to mention it to anyone. Kinda just got my goat up.

So I am sorry.

It is not yours or anyone who plays the games responsibility to spot errors, but if you come across one, it would be nice just to give one of us a shout, even if you are unsure about it being an error and that way, we can correct it in time and nothing like this happens again.

Mistakes will happen, it is the nature of cycling racing that things change last minute at races. We try and get everything right, but sometimes, small errors slip through the cracks.

If in the future ANYONE comes across what they think to be an error, please, give one of us a shout.

i'll be putting in the ability to report a stage deadline if you think it's wrong, and also a back-end system to make sure they're double checked

And once again the real problem hasn't been addressed, same old bullshit.

Could gkam and his army of asskissers be any more arrogant?

They fuck up and then they have the cheek to try and blame people who are not responsible for their fuck up!

They really don't want people to sign up again do they? LOL.

pathetic, this so called game / service is beyond a joke, cheating is condoned and encouraged and when they fuck up it's never their fault.

Looks like I might have won this stage, alone or not, 'cause I've got 207 points (I really should read all the posts before replying, shouldn't I?)... my score is only due to the fact that I was expecting some friends to come over for the weekend, so I took a few minutes minutes on Saturday morning to quickly put a team together, knowing that the rest of the weekend would be occupied with more enjoyable activities than research  4

It would be good if cgipryan got the stage winners prize. 207 is a very good score for a one-day race, which would have been close to winning anyway.

Tbh I don't think you would have any complaints from anyone if he did win which Gkam seems to think he did .

I can't remember what time it was on Saturday night when I posted my team: I suspect sometime around midnight. I was simply aware that despite the published deadline, it evidently did not sit correctly with the time of the race, and I should not wait and post an entry on Sunday morning. Would there have been anyone ready and available to make alterations at midnight on Saturday night? I suspect not. The relevant forum does not link instinctively and immediately from the game pages.

I would argue that any who legitimately entered a team in good time for the event should have their score included: they made appropriate input, they should get appropriate reward. I would invite you to put the matter to a vote.

We know the high scorer and as was said in the email that went out, the player will still get the prize

There's a prize for the top score in a stage? Can I have mine for the Ronde van Drenthe?

From http://fantasy.road.cc/howto, about prizes:

In the event of a tie, the following criteria, where applicable, will be used to determine the winner:
Highest single stage score posted within the competition
Most scoring riders on the stage
Highest scoring individual rider on the stage
Coin toss

The second criterion applies to your case, I think... I know, its annoying, but I've already lost a stage win on coin toss, so it can be worse than in your case...

Only just seen this. Oh well never mind, it's only a game and people are good enough to spend time on it so we can't really complain.

Why not from here on just have a blanket neutralising for any race that's been 'compromised' they way there can be no arguments. Seems silly bickering when everyone just wants a bit of added entertainment to a real life event.

One of the things I like about this years set up is the tabs of the forthcoming races - so theres not really an excuse for not getting teams in - unless theres no start list.

Is there a badge for lowest score in a stage, if not there should be. I want one, I think I'd have about 100 now  24

So as well as seemingly having cheaters help to run the "service" or game (and competing in it) we also have a incompetent help to run it, it seems?

Just saw that the WWC tab is no longer there, so I thought I might ask the same question as before: did I finally win the controversial stage in China where the results got neutralised?  38 And if I did, do I get a form to claim my glasses?  4
