Evening. My list of stages gors from 14 straight to 17, without mention of stages 15 and 16.... Any ideas, moderators?
Mountain finishes don't count towards kom; only intermediate climbs. Same with sprints.
You didn't have a full roster maybe?
been great fun 3 transfers per stage would make it better cos more combo's possible therefore harder. More points for stage less for overall wud be good too eg cancellara just wins prolog but picks up points everyday for being in top 10 just a thought anyone disagree?
I like the two transfers per stage rule, in my opinion it makes it much harder because it forces you to think further ahead. Rather than making it harder with more combinations I think three transfers would make it easier to draft riders in for single stages like the TT and make it easier to score more points on the transitions between sprint and mountain stages. I'd love to have three transfers ahead of the TT but only because it would make life easier. Maybe having double or unlimited transfers on rest days could be a compromise and allow those struggling to completely reshuffle their teams?
I also like the scoring system because its relatively balanced between climbers and sprinters. Points for GC position is a nice touch and adds something else you need to think about ie do you take Sammy Sanchez's guaranteed 8 points a stage or gamble on Boassen Hagen etc?
Overall its a really great well thought out system and I wouldn't change too much
well we're looking at a few bits and bobs for the vuelta/tob, and next year. unlimited transfers on rest days was one we had considered, also the ability to make more than two transfers but incur a penalty for any above two, say 10 points a transfer. we'll also be revamping the transfer system a bit, so you can do your transfers all at once and press go rather than having to do them one at a time.
overall we reckon the scoring system, scrawled on the back of a fag packet as it was, has worked out pretty well. but we're open to suggestions on how it can be improved, and obviously it'll have to be altered for the other races anyway.
Are there any bonus points on offer for the overall winners of the jerseys? I feel bad for dropping Chartreau just because he's not going to win me any more KOM points...
If not perhaps that would be a good tweak to the scoring system for the Vuelta - as it stands (if I haven't got it wrong) then having lots of days in the yellow jersey is more important for the fantasy scoring than winning the race.
Its been a really great fantasy TDF. A suggestion perhaps would be that your original line up of riders would count for more points at the end of the race similar to the one that was on eurosport a few years ago. I must admit tho, that this method has been far more exciting and ive been commuting even faster to get home from work to get my transfers in!!!!
OMG I won.....incredible!
Well done alexl - you deserve it after leading for so long. Looking forward to your tips for next year!
Could I ask the moderators to arrange for blood and urine samples from a sample of the Fantasy League competitors (say the first 133 teams). Maybe check for hidden electric motors also.
no prizes for guessing where you finished then, Greensox
this was a great competition! Loved it, even though it made watching the Tour even more stressful. Fancy doing one for the Vuelta as well? Please?
yup, vuelta version is in 'development'
Brill. Looking forward to it!
Excellent news. Would hate to have to wait till the next TdF to play again!
Was this the 1st time the game was run?...
