There have been 2 or 3 mistakes in deadlines every year since the game started. None of this is anything new or anything to do with the volunteer assistants.
Gkam is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t here. I didn’t get the chance to pick a team so I prefer the neutralisation option. You did, and want to keep the points. There is no way to keep everyone happy over this. Someone will consider whatever decision is made “awful”.Gkam84

same as one of mine.
I don’t think I will waste my time in any research any more (not that it helps). Just wasted time and effort a lot of the time.VVV73

Totally agree with rcorbin
Totally agree with rcorbin about the fact that the game is not as sleek as it once was since other people have got involved in the admin side…
I also agree with Tom Amos and his comments about the womens races having no part in the game… The coverage is not there, so bin them…
I can see your grievance rcorbin, in having done the research and then having the result nullified. However its a paid for service and we should not have to research start times for races… I have no interest in Womens Cycling but put a team in for the season points total, but I am not going to research womens cycling at length and I expect the admin to input the correct info…
In this case it wasn`t and so it was not a level playing field and so a nullification of the result seems to be the fair outcome….
But yes these mistakes are happening much too often for a paid for service….Theinvisiblecyclist

It doesn’t really matter whose fault it was, I’m still 100-150 points down. I would have a rant about it but I just can’t be bothered, quite apart from the risk of being ostracised from the forums. It’s just the icing on the cake of a crap week all round.
I’m still pissed off about it though.It does seem if you have vehement opinion and wish to air it in a constructive manner certain people inglved with these forums don’t like it…..
I’n regards to Gkam owning up to the mistake and taking the decision to neutralize the stage …..I respect him for saying what happened and what he did but I also am slightly annoyed that because I don’t leave picks till the last minute I have been penalised.
7 out of my 9 riders scored but Id rather the stage be fair to all than me gaining from people missing out due to an admin error …….perhaps this course of action should have been taken in the infamous spring classics đŸ˜•
Either way Gkam =D> =D>

It is nothing to do with womens racing nor other members moaning because they missed the deadline.I had it set 12 hours to far in front, it was my fault. Alot of teams were caught out when I did the scoring. The only fair thing to do was give everyone 0

I did really well so am a bit
I did really well so am a bit miffed to learn the whole race has been neutralized. I didn’t have any problem in choosing a team. All the leading riders were on the selection list.I’m going to say something now which will be criticised but needs to be said. Get rid of the women’s competition in fantasy cycling. I have no interest in the races, don’t watch them (is it even possible to watch them on tv?) and I don’t care who wins.
A shambles which proves that these races shouldn’t be in the competition.

Ditto.
Had cpl diff in each but all riders inpts in both.

Just done
Just done something…..Neutralised the stage.Wait until you see the amount of complaints…..but it is done. It is MY mistake, I stand up and take that on board.
It is NOTHING to do with the womens racing, I put in the wrong information. Tried to correct it, but I know I left it a bit late and it affected alot of teams, After looking through the scoring. I think it was only fair to give everyone the same.
Sorry
