Sounds like a plan 🙂

Omnium scoring is good too, nice and simple, am I right in thinking that everyone below a certain place (is it 8th?) gets the same amount of points so if you finish 9th or 20th you get a fixed amount? That’d keep it interesting and mean that even with one or two bad races you’d never really be too far off the pace.

Hmmm, good point, possibly picks should only apply to one race, so Hoy would apply to just one of the sprint, team sprint and keirin. Although leaving them to ride across events could be a good way of adding complexity as there’s plenty of riders who’ll do 2 or 3 events. Worth considering.

I think it was more along the lines of just one British rider or team (like the team pursuitists) in your selection, so you couldn’t pick Hoy, and Pendleton and the womens pursuit team, just one of those.

Sooo..

I’d pick the GB women’s pursuit, Anna Mears in the women’s sprint, Bauge in the men’s sprint, the German mens team sprint team, Krupeckaite for something or other, that Canadian woman in the omnium etc etc, one pick per event, one nationality per team (like the current two per nation rule in the game for the world champs).

Sorry, didn’t get that you
Sorry, didn’t get that you meant one rider/team per event which is what I was suggesting in addition to your one nationalityper player picked team.

I agree a limit of one or two riders/nationality per player team would make things much tougher, knowing which GB/Aussie/German rider/team to pick and where to go for a random Lithunian or Canadian will make it much more fun.

If someone wanted to do Olympic track compo on the side I’d be up for that but to make it really interesting I’d suggest that across the ten different events (five male, five female), you had to pick ten different countries (ie individuals or teams, depending on the event). No budget, no cost of riders, just see whose ten picks do best.

Sounds nice and simple, count me in. How about semi-olympic rules, one rider per nation, one rider per competition so no picking Hoy/Kenny and Bauge in the individual sprint.
