Halfords mini-league

Ah, well sorry Geraint, good luck in first week!

i'm glad someone else has taken the time to read the rules of the halfords one, i know a lot more about it now

so far my team is just a lucky dip... doubt i'll be troubling the leaders.

thanks for all the positive comments on the road.cc game. Any suggestions to make it better are also welcome!

Just a thought (shamelessly nabbed from the Premier League's fantasy football game from last season):

How about the ability to carry over one of your daily transfers to the next day if you don't use them both (up to a maximum of 1 carry-over, so you only ever get a maximum of 3 transfers for one day).

It could lead to a bit more strategic thinking (or am I the only Tinkerman round here who uses both transfer options every day).

i'm in the queue, but using "still think its the mince"
not "this years no hopers"

I quite like the idea in the fantasy game, that the points you get for the GC classification are all based on the team as it stood on the day the tour started . . . so the purists get a bit of help there. . .
but the daily stage points are gained for the team after all the transfers . . . so the non-purists with their expertise can get extra points for knowing that Contador is better going up hills than Cavendish, but Cash might beat him of a flat stage. . .

What do you think?

I know that my purist team is never ever going to compete for the top prizes but I like the separate challenge of trying to pick the best, most balanced, team across the whole race. It's really a totally different game to the main competition and I like both challenges equally.

Sanderville, just applied for your league. Thanks

Hurumph, at least we know our scores in the roadcc, even if there is a problem. 21.30 and still no scores in the halfords, knew it would be crap.

scores up. I was crap.

No bad considering my scores dont seem to be moving at all

my lucky dip team isn't exactly upping the average

I reckon your road.cc team might be a lucky dip, but I could not find the option when I was picking my team. lol

I dont understand the scoring for it, as i had 3 of the top 6 in my team and it didnt seem to help my scoring, infact i just keep dropping down after being 2nd after the 1st satge (although that was my bonus stage)

Yeah i'm the same Sanderville, i've had 48 points since stage one and not moved for some reason, i think its a game where things are fixed and it will be a "no one" account that wins so they dont have to give away prizes, cause it is Halfords after all, i wouldn't go near them for anything bike related

Ok just checked it, my points have moved, there are 2 guys will full teams in the league still on 0 points

Dave, you might wanna go make a couple of transfers as you have 3 non riders

Okay i've *finally* made some changes to my team so i'll be swanning up the league now

How can my best league position be 551 and my current position 469 ???
Surely 469 is better than 551. . . .

At this rate they may need to give a bike to everyone !!

I find it takes a while for everything to get updated. Not as good as the roadcc game as well.

Re the Halfords game:
Anybody have any idea how to:
1.check your scores for a specific day
2.see how others did that day
3.see who won the daily prize

It's not good, is it?

even in the road.cc league i was 3rd yesterday and now having had 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th all in my team ive somehow managed to drop to 5th or something and my rank overall has dropped even further

im just confused by it

Finding transfers is a nightmare amongst other things. I think i'm maybe going to let it drop.

i guess so, but knowing me i will move up 2moro and have done rubbish

You're all enjoying *our* game though, right?

ye of course we are dave
