Not that this effects my score in any way shape or form, but , if you are quoting the above then why didn’t said company check the startlist was correct?
After all you have stated on more than one occasion that you are nothing to do with said company , you don’t get paid and therefore do not work for said company just help out .
😕

That still doesn’t alter the fact that I put a rider in who wasn’t racing as he was listed.I should get a transfer back as the game was at fault for whatever reason. Players should not have to check that riders they put in for the next stage are actually racing once a stage has been scored, overnight withdrawals excepted.
It would be far easier to have a plan for instances like this instead of being stubborn for the sake of it.
It wasn’t made known to me.
It wasn’t made known to me. And as far as I knew the players listed after stage 1 had been scored, were actually racing.What you are stubbornly saying is that it is my responsibility to check riders that are listed even after a stage has been raced and scored, actually started the race. So, I therefore need to check every transfer I ever make from now on against the official startlist whether that be stage 20 of a 3 week Tour or whatever.

Not if we cannot get the official startlist in time…..we cannot be around 24/7 to run the game. I did not have time to edit it yesterday, so I made the official startlist known….No it doesn’t Gkam.
There is
No it doesn’t Gkam.There is a perfectly reasonable assumption for players of this game that those riders listed after a stage has been scored are actually racing.
Users of the game are
Users of the game are responsible for ensuring that changes to their team are registered and no correspondence will be entered into concerning missed deadlines or transfers for any reason whatsoever. Farrelly Atkinson will take reasonable precautions to ensure that the game functions correctly at all times and is available at all times when competitions are in progress, but cannot be held responsible for any unavailability of the game or issues affecting game play.I think that has it covered…..
It should be safe to assume
It should be safe to assume that a rider you put into your team after the first stage has been scored is actually racing. Not to see him removed from the roster 30+ hours after the first race deadline.What you are saying is that for every transfer we do we should check it against the official startlist, no matter when that transfer is made.
This isn’t a rider score either, so that disclaimer isn’t valid.
I’ve written to Dave as clearly that isn’t right.
If you checked the results
If you checked the results from yesterday, you could have seen the rider you were going to transfer in was not in the race…..I stated yesterday that I still had to check the startlist.
I shall now pull out the disclaimer
“The allocation of points by the road.cc adjudicators will be deemed as final and no correspondence will be entered into regarding the rider scores” http://fantasy.road.cc/howto
Because I cannot be bothered carrying on this conversation anymore
Gkam, are you saying that
Gkam, are you saying that after the race has started, then we, as players, are expected to check that the riders in the game are correct?Understandable before the race starts as we all know that teams swap and change, but several hours after a stage has been scored?????
So from now on I need to check whether the rider that is shown in the game is racing whether it is after stage 1, or after stage 5.
Right.
They only released the
They only released the official startlist yesterday after the stage. I did not have time until today to update.You could have checked the startlist yourself and we cannot be held responsibly for the changes you make.
Also….just because PCS have something, doesn’t make it right, their site isn’t official, it is just re-hashed from all over the web and I wouldn’t trust it if my life was on the line. I personally never go near the site and would advise others not to trust it either.
There are official sites out there that you can use, Such as the races official site and Matsport
Also, what’s happened with
Also, what’s happened with all the riders being swapped this afternoon? I put Guardini in last night using up a transfer, only to see that he has now been removed. I put him in once the first stage had finished, do I get my transfer back as it’s fair to say that you expect the teams to be correct once the race has started? Or do we have to double check every rider we put in now?I agree with what enrique
I agree with what enrique says. It’s madness that players can look at the scores in the points standings of a race and have the scoring on this game working in a completely different way.

Dave, can we be consistent and have a ‘Points’ Classification included in this race and have the points in the standings awarded? I hate the idea of having ‘some’ sort of ‘Points’ or ‘Sprints’ Classification in every race and having this one ignored for what I consider no ‘real’ reason of merit.
I think we should be consistent and include it, not arbitrarily remove it at will.
It’s been a ‘standard’ sort of a thing to include it and I see no harm including it in the scoring.
I may be mistaken, but I’m of the opinion that most people would be more inclined to include it than to arbitrarily remove it, especially for such a big race as this one. I don’t think it makes sense to set a precedent of removing it from this competition when we’ve become accustomed to playing with it all year long…
It needs to be a lot clearer
It needs to be a lot clearer then Gkam. I’m not having a go at you but in all the games I’ve played so far this year, I have never seen that before even though I frequently look at the scoring information.It seems very odd that the people who play don’t know that the game is arbitrary, and that often the time spent looking on the official sites or PCS means nothing because the game is being scored in a different way.
