Just a question Armchair,
Just a question Armchair, when did you notice it? and in noticing how come you didn’t try letting someone know that could rectify it further in advance (if it was case you knew before 11pm last night)Armchair Cyclist wrote:So

That was certainly my attitude when I noticed the discrepancy between the deadline and the schedule for the event.

Thanks for the heads up eh……
So you had enough interest to see the time discrepancy, but not enough to inform someone from the game so this whole situation could have been avoided…..nice attitude to have…..
Where is the W*nker smiley when you need it…..

Maybe if you understood the difference between 11am and 11pm you’d be on safer ground in calling people stupid. And maybe if you had enough interest in the sport you’d have more than no full house badgesArmchair Cyclist

I am only moaning because on
I am only moaning because on this occasion I got my team in well before the deadline and think that I probably did well, (I haven’t bothered to check yet).Whenever there has been a problem in the past and some players have been disadvantaged, we have been told that it is the players responsibility to check start times, riders actuallly taking part etc ourselves. I was rather miffed at not having Danny Van Poppel in California when I believed he was racing but was not sure who to believe, and left him out just in case. I would think that those sort of decisions should be consistent.
I love this game and do not care what happens here but it would seem to me that on the basis of the above you got this one wrong!

I’ve just sent out this email
I’ve just sent out this email to all users but i’ll repeat it here:We had a problem with the Women’s World Cup stage for the Tour of Chongming Island. The deadline was set 12 hours too late; this was down to human error and we apologise for this. We’re currently looking at implementing extra safeguards to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
The deadline issue meant that many players didn’t get to make transfers; there were about half the number of transfers we’d normally expect. As this issue affected such a large number of players, we decided to neutralise this stage. We’ll still award a high score stage prize for the Tour of Chongming Island but the points won’t count towards the competition.
Since transfers are unlimited between stages of the Women’s World Cup this shouldn’t affect forthcoming stages.
Once again, we apologise for the error and we’ll try to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
The winning score was 207 if
The winning score was 207 if I remember right, I don’t know what will happen with the stage prize.The classics was a different issue.
There were no transfers made after 4.50am with the deadline being changed to 5.00am, but that cut 6 hours of that people were expecting to put teams in by, so it is totally different from the classics. That deadline over ran the race. People were able to put in riders after the race had started.
LEARNING from that and knowing the deadline of 11am would have meant that everyone could have waited until the race was finished and entered the top 9 riders. I contacted Dave to have him change the deadline so that it did not over run the race.
So we learnt from the classics, I made a mistake when entering the deadlines, instead of putting it at 11pm, I had it set to 11am the next day. I only noticed at 11.09pm when I contacted Dave to try and sort it.
This is a genuine mistake and will be learnt from, just like the classics has been.
I’m going to say no more on it. I think I have pretty much covered everything.
I have asked Dave to have a say, because some of you want to hear from the management. So I’m sure he’ll post something whenever he has time to do it.

Thing is, it’s not fair for
Thing is, it’s not fair for the people who put a team in though is it? Why should they be penalised?I know the decision has been made but there is no consistency, when it happened in the classics, it wasn’t nulled.
Also, you can see when transfers were made so why not remove those after the cut off from the scores.
Out if interest, who would have won the stage? Will they be getting a prize?
