    NO, the points competition at
    NO, the points competition at TdS did not include the sprints points and never did.

    This is why the sprints competition has been scored every time we have played TdS in the game.

    With this category not being included this season, it has been pulled from the game.

    Couldn;t agree more
    Couldn;t agree more enrique.

    The scoring information clearly stated leading the standings in the points competition 5-1 so that is what people have been basing rider decisions on.

    There is also a points competition in the Tour de Suisse.

    This is totally confusing and needs to be standardised. The points competition includes sprints and finishing positions and if there are no sprints then it should be finishing positions. Period. Then at least the people who play the game can make informed decisions.

    This is crap!

    I have sent out an email.

    I have sent out an email.

    But just for you Enrique, here is my email to Dave, followed by his reply.

    Bloody Swiss….They are not having out a sprints jersey this year. The only points that are being given seem to be finish line.

    So do I score the finish line points or scrap it altogether?

    There don’t seem to be any intermediate sprints on any of the stages….

    just leave it out i reck

    That is pretty stupid 😕 … Don’t set a precedent of arbitrarily deciding just to not give out any points for a classification that appears on the race record books… Bend a little to commone sense, please… Does Dave agree with you? Or is this just your call as the competition manager?… 😕 I can’t imagine Dave agrees with you, but who knows? At least let us know you made this call by discussing it with Dave, even if you did, I’d still call for the ‘Points’ classification points to be awarded, but at least it wouldn’t look like you’re just stomping around making arbitrary decisions by yourself… 😕 I can’t recall any race we have had where we haven’t issued out any points for the ‘Points’ or ‘Sprint’ Jersey classification… I couldn’t agree with starting a precedent with this race… C’mon, give in… It makes sense… Why do you have to be so stubborn?… :W Think about it, please… 😕 Or at least let us know that it isn’t one man’s (your!) decision… Not that it would make it any more pallatable, but, crap, at least we could say it wasn’t just Gkam being stubborn about things… 😕

    NO it says that the sprints
    NO it says that the sprints jersey would be scored, not the points jersey. The points jersey was NEVER going to be scored in this tour and because there is no sprints jersey.

    There will be no sprints points given out.

    Not going to argue it any more. The points competition was never going to be scored, so will not be scored. There is no sprints competition, so unfortunately, that cannot be scored either

    And where does it say it’s being scored only on sprint points? This is ridiculous. Jersey points is what it says.

    If you read the stage
    If you read the stage info…you will see the points jersey was NEVER going to be scored.

    Sprint points
    6, 4, 2 points for the first three riders on any intermediate sprint
    Sprints jersey
    The sprints jersey competition overall will be scored as the points competition jersey.

    The points weren’t scored for stage 1 either

    That’s ridiculous. There is a points jersey so points should be awarded. There is no youth jersey so no points. You can’t just remove things two stages in after people have picked teams

    The only points competition that has been taken into account was the sprints competition.

    There was going to be NO scoring for the points jersey anyway

    Scores will be in at some
    Scores will be in at some point.

    I have all the results, just in discussions with boss man about the points situation.

    It seems the information that I used to format the scoring was based on last year. This year, they have pulled ALL the intermediate sprints and the sprints jersey.

    The only points being handed out are for the first across the line. Which are never scored on a daily basis in any tour.
