    Joel, the way played this and the way you’re playing the Giro I think you’ll be up for ‘Newbie of the Year’ ! I wonder if Dave can come up with a ranking of people in the whole competition who have only joined in the last year? I’m pretty sure you’d be winning! Twy’s new, too, right? :?

    I entered a team in the Vuelta last year but didn’t play it and got an average score of about 50 per stage accordingly, so really this is my first year. It would be good to get a prize, maybe an S-Works or something…

    You should join the Rookie
    You should join the Rookie league Twy.

    I’m enjoying it, but there is a long way to go yet. At first it was a bit hit and miss and I’m still learning and improving.

    Enrique – I am new, but Joel
    Enrique – I am new, but Joel will beat me by the end of the year. He’s very aggressive in his transfers whilst I’m too conservative and aggression will win in the end.

    We are both London and I can see he has clawed a 1000 point gap between us round about P-N down to 250 today. Good on you fella

    Cheers Enrique, I had two
    Cheers Enrique, I had two transfers, but with Cav only scoring 39 points I don’t think I could have made enough credits and not dropped the points to make up the 23 point gap. I could have got 13 points closer had I made the other transfer had planned. (DVP for Dennis)

    Basically I can change the deadline up until you can access the competition, once you can access the competition I can’t make any changes

    Nice play, TER 🙂 You beat Wig Billy! Did you have the space and transfers to have brought in a few more sprinters? You were so close to taking the whole thing! =D>

    Sour Grapes time!
    Lying
    Sour Grapes time!

    Lying fourth after Friday in this, but I had no access to change my team for Sundays last stage, or find out Saturdays results. I didn’t really have a clue how Saturday would go (except that Sagan would probably win) so set it up pretty much as a sprint team for Sunday and hoped! I knew that I would have no chance of improving my position but that is life, It’s my fault for going off doing real cycling. So I did my womens team in plenty of time and my Giro transfers before I left Saturday evening.

    Now I find out that after spending time making those transfers and researching the womens stage, the game was annulled because some people missed the deadline.

    How can that be?

    Whenever there is an error in the game setup the standard response is that it is THE PLAYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK THAT THE GAME INFORMATION IS CORRECT AND ACT ACCORDINGLY!

    I have accepted that in the past when things have not worked out for me so why is it different this time? Please explain!

    Thank You Tera.
    As not all of us live in Northern Hemi. I might check close time and see I have 30mins to do it when I get home from work, as norm close about 6/7pm here. If I think that and it gets moved an Hour and not told… 🙁
    It surely can’t be that hard to make a mailing list group?
    Thank you again.

    People seem to have lost the opportunity to make transfers. If this is what happened, will the results be nullified? If that’s the fair course in the women’s race, and I don’t think it is, it should be the fair course here. Maybe I’m just confused, though.

    All I can say is I didn’t change anything, whether Dave did I can’t comment. I was very tired this morning before work so the deadline may have been 5pm then. Either way the deadline closed before the stage started, and if it was changed it was different to that of the womens, race as moving it by 1 hour this morning, is a bit different than a womens race being 12 hours out. Like i say im not even sure it was moved if im honest. If you pointed it out last night and Dave changed it then, thats fair course, moving a deadline by an hour well in advance of the stage is fair course, again very different from the womens scenario.

    If that affected you then I do apologise

    Fair enough. One point, IF a change of deadline occurs with plenty of time to spare, is it possible to have an email sent round to all stating the change? The email generated to tell you when a rider you’ve picked is no longer in the roster has been a great addition, and if it could be extended to changed deadlines that would be great 🙂

    In any event, my unchanged line-up went up two places! Go figure.
