Fantasy Olympic Track Cycling

    It was suggested a few months ago that some people on the forum might want to try a fantasy track cycling competition for the olympics.

    The idea’s simple, pick an athlete/team/nation for each track event and we score the results, the best overall result is the winner.

    The ten olympic events are:

    Men’s Keirin
    Men’s Omnium
    Men’s sprint
    Men’s team pursuit
    Men’s team sprint
    Women’s Keirin
    Women’s Omnium
    Women’s sprint
    Women’s team pursuit
    Women’s team sprint

    Schedule is here: http://www.london2012.com/cycling-track/schedule-and-results/

    Athlete details will be available here: http://www.london2012.com/cycling-track/athletes/

    Deadline for entries is 8pm Wednesday 1st August.

    Rules are:
    1) Fantasy teams limited to one individual or team from any nationality i.e. you can’t have more than one Brit or British team in your own team.
    2) Scoring based on the Omnium where 1st scores 1, 2nd scores 2 etc down to 12th scoring 12. Any placing below 12th scores 12. Lowest overall score after 10 events is the winner.
    3) DNFs, DQs or withdrawl’s of an athlete count as finishing last and will score 12 points.
    4) Where non-medal positions are not ranked (see 2008 men’s team pursuit and team sprint) the time’s from qualification will be used to rank teams for fantasy purposes.
    5) Where it is not possible to rank a group of teams or individuals each will be given the score of the highest unranked position i.e. if 5-12 cannot be ranked by any of the above methods each will score 5 points.
    6) Tie-breaks – first tie-break is number of Gold medal winners picked, then total medal winners picked then the lowest highest score i.e. one team has a highest event score of 8 (for 8th place), another has 10 (for 10th) then the winner is the team with the score of 8. Final tie-break is a coin-toss.
    7) No prizes, although we could ask Dave nicely for a pair of socks 😀

    Any questions/comments? Happy to tweak the rules/format as suggested.

    Actually Chris could catch me
    Actually Chris could catch me as well as he has 3 different, with Pendleton and Whitten and Mulder, however im not sure Mulder will outscore Watanabe, and will Whitten beat Hammer, not so sure, and then again max pull back of 7 points with Pendleton, meaning he would still need to make up the other 9 points from those first too.

    djb can also mathematically catch me if trott and levy were to win and both watanabe and hammer to come lower than 10th…which would be unlikely.

    Therefore I dont think I can come lower than 2nd but if everything went right for 1 of your teams 1 of you could overtake me

    Although Gkam is 3rd, he is
    Although Gkam is 3rd, he is the only one that can catch me i believe, even tho Stevespro is currently 2nd, as he has 3 riders the same and so levy scoring 1 point and watanabe 12, he would still be 3 adrift.

    For you Gkam, If Watanabe scored 12, Awang 1 that would be a 5 point difference meaning you would still need Guo to come 1st or 2nd for you to win, and 3rd to tie…

    thus its gonna be difficult now for you to catch me

    Yeah Hammer and Bauge.
    The
    Yeah Hammer and Bauge.

    The lowest TER can get in the woman’s sprint is 8, so there could be a few points gained back there. If Awang won and Watanabe scored 12, it could be close 😉

    Scores up, and yes, 12 points
    Scores up, and yes, 12 points for 12th or below.

    Bell was a let down for quite a few people though so you didn’t lose out too much. Although, TERa’s running away with it. We pretty much all have Bauge and Hammer and even if Watanabe comes last and Awang first he’s still got a 5 point lead!

    Agree Clancy should have got
    Agree Clancy should have got silver.

    Hansen was always gonna be the next best after Clancy in that event, the only one who could have challenged really was Coquard.

    also Krupeckaite can’t come worse than 8th in the womens sprint

    Viviani, Kluge, Clancy and O’Shea all have better kilo’s, not sure about Coquard.

    So I wouldn’t say he’ll be in the medal’s 😉

    Clancy just took Hansen out
    Clancy just took Hansen out in the scratch race, which almost took O’Shea out aswell 👿

    Hansen got a spare bike and back on, but some nice holes in his suit and track rash 😉

    its gonna be close, Hansen
    its gonna be close, Hansen just let me down in the omnium, but he is still 5th at the halfway point.

    Wanatabe isn’t bad at the Keirin but agree Awang should do better than me in that and so should Shaung, but Shaung may come say 3rd and Krupeckaite 6th. I have 5 points to play with.

    I read your 1st team when i first looked at it, which is why i thought it was going to be difficult for you as you originally had Krupeckaite, meaning 3 of your 5 left would have been the same
