Womens World Cup-Tour of Chongming Island

It do feel that FAR to many
It do feel that FAR to many people take this game way to seriously, I’d hate to sit down with them and play monopoly.

At the end of the day, it is a game, but you can win actual real life prizes….Some worth quite a lump of cash, everyone has the same chance.

Pick 9 riders and see what comes up….Some research more than others and this does pay off on certain races.

But the womens cycling is here for a couple of reasons.

1, I wanted to run it, see how it went down and how easy it was to come by the information, looking to the future and running different races. i.e. The womens tour.
2, I wanted to highlight womens racing in general, there is a serious lack of it anywhere on the internet, not least in the British media, who only cover it if there is a British win.

I think you’ll ALL agree (those of you who’ve been around since the start) that quite a few races had their difficulties in the first season of the game, then new ones in the second season.

So like other races, the womens has had little difficulties. The fairest thing for today was to give everyone 0 and that way, no-one wins and loses and the overall competition for the prize is still fair. The total of the womens world cup prizes comes to £1314.92. It needs to be kept fair for ALL.

I suggest sending a mail to all participants so those who don’t check the forum know what happened.

I think the mistake that has been made here is that the scores were published, then neutralized. I was excited to see I had several badges and then BOOM nul points.

As others have said above, it’s not terribly important. The game will continue. I think it’s unfortunate that this race was ever proposed to be scored in the middle of the Giro, arguably the greatest grand tour of the year. And, just to complicate matters, the Tour of California. I made a mental note all week to make sure I selected a team for Saturday because I didn’t want to fall behind in the league table.

I see that the next race isn’t for 77 days. Thank God for that huh? 😀

Don’t get too stressed Gkam. Forums are designed for venting and on the whole I think the roadcc forums are very civilised. I would be prepared to pay more for the competition to ensure that the scorers are paid a fee for their time. I think others have suggested this before.

Fair enough but was only trying to help calm the situation because you have done exactly what should have been done on another occasion

Id have preferred the the points, 7 in the top 11 would have been decent (didn’t see what I actually scored, but think it would have been 189) but im not gonna moan. Had I actually paid more attention I may have queried the mistake. But I never saw one player query the mistake, when the start time has been there for weeks, yet one person is expected to get everything spot on 😕

Yes I left DVP off by accident, but again had people trusted official startlists they could have put him in for stage one.

All it seems to be is moan moan moan, every single mistake and i gets brought about it being a payed service. would I have made that mistake had i been payed, yes i probably still would. I also think a lot of people expect an awful lot for 10 quid. It will barley get you three pints these days, yet people want a service with no mistakes, yet humans are doing it, so mistakes will happen. Seem to think I may as well not bother anymore, can’t win no matter what happens. Stay up till 1.30/2am every night this week getting the scores done (not that im after praise or anything), but in context will get hounded down for any minor mistake in the grand scheme of things. and whether people should be expected to or not, mistakes that could have been raised beforehand by others and thus corrected, and also that people good have ignored off there own back (ie DVP) and trusted other sources.

Nice! Just spotted my
Nice! Just spotted my Luxembourg-like null point- now I understand. Oh, and I missed the ToC deadline, can that be annuled too?

Too much?

Everyone gets the odd think wrong, let’s relax. Just a game and all that. Right thing to do in this instance, IMO.

Let’s move on…

An average score cannot be given out as there is no system of doing that in the game, scores can only be given to riders picked in teams, not just handed out to any player.

I don’t know what every one is moaning about. You have not lost anything, you have not dropped behind anyone else. You all scored the same and the positions stay the same.

I’ve given Dave a shout, he can come along and have his say, because now you do not seem happy to listen to me. Fair enough.

Can I suggest an official email is sent to all players explaining what’s happened?
Ppl may be a bit more willing to listen to that :/
