Things you may want to ask for.
1. Can you add sortable columns to the ‘Rankings’ page so you can click on the Rider ‘Value’ column and have the list sorted by rider value instead of its current sort by points scored?

On the ‘Stages’ page, would you put the Stage numbers? Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3…enrique

😕 I thought somebody had asked before and I found it in the “New Stage Scoring Table Feedback and Wish List” thread 🙂

Ok fair enough , I just think
Ok fair enough , I just think that unpredictability would add to the tactics , as I mentioned above .
The only point I would add is that in a GT it’s easier to make ground by the odd gamble but in a one week race like the dauphine , once you are 100 points down its nigh on impossible to gain that even if you are all out gambling on breakaway points as those in the lead just try to pick safely to maintain the gap so to speakIn racing terms it’s like taking the leaders jersey in the first few days and controlling the peleton for the next 5 😉
Appreciate the various responses though 🙂

I disagree, I think it works
I disagree, I think it works better as it is. In previous seasons the KoM points were closer to those awarded and it skewed the emphasis of the game too far towards picking the break. If a rider can score 50 or 60 points in a break without winning a stage or even finishing top 20 I think it unbalances things.I also think it makes the game too unpredictable. Unpredictability is good but not to the extent that to get a good score you need to pick half the guys in the break.
Ultimately it’s Dave’s call how points are awarded next year but I prefer how it’s working in the Dauphine as I think its a good balance, picking a guy in the break is good but if you concentrate on high finishing positions then you’re not really at a disadvantage. That means there are multiple valid tactics and not everyone is trying to chase the break.

Some of the races we don’t
Some of the races we don’t know the amount of points they are awarding for the mountains (until the race has begun), therefore to set a scoring criteria its fairer to just say 5 down to 1 if 5 riders score for example

Im with chiv on this one…In my opinion it would liven up the game and more rewarding for picking breakaway riders and not just sitting with safe points…I think in the GT’s they do
I think in the GT’s they do Chiv.As for converting it doesn’t change things as we type in a value in anyway, in fact its easier working back from say 5 for 1st down to 1 for 5th for example.
Just been thinking and not
Just been thinking and not sure if it’s been suggested before so take it easy on my please …..Mountain category points , can’t they be changed to reflect the points the riders actually receive in the race rather than the fantasy substituted points? It would make the game harder but also in a twisted way a lot closer , ie if someone picks a breakaway rider who manages to take most of the mountain points on an alpine type stage they would likely score massively , and as breakaway riders are usually picked as gambles it could drag that person right up the table and leave them the dilemma of going for overall or continue stage hunting …..
Also I’d assume it would be easier to score for you guys as there is no conversion to make from race to game 😕
As I said not sure if it’s already been covered or not

enrique wrote:… If the stage gets cancelled you should lose the transfers that were to be awarded for that day’s stage…… seemed to be directed at Premium players but I meant both (!) should lose the transfers for the cancelled day… It’s not a major point though, I’d be ok with both (!) keeping the cancelled stage transfers…
Although, it does bring me to this (below) which is what I would really like…
And for me this would be the ultimate act of fairness in this game 😉 (Drum roll, please!)
Dave, how about this? 😉 How about you offer Standard Players a choice when you sign up:
Option A: Play for free with Standard transfers – No more than (2) transfers can be banked a day – and the chance you can win any of the competition prizes OR…
Option B: Play with No (!) expiration of transfers – just like a Premium Player does – but you play just for the joy of the game.
Meaning you are not playing for a bike, a pump, a helmet, a pat on the back or anything (!) at all! 🙂
That (!) would make my day and would be the ultimate (!) option. And, of course, I would forever shut up about transfers! 🙂
Of course, I would pick option B (!) Who cares about the bike?… I care about the excitement of the game! 🙂 And I obviously don’t mean to speak for all Standard Players out there…
Ok, nuff said (!) I am forced to admit even I am tiring of transfer talk 🙂 Whew! Let’s enjoy the race! 🙂

On your last point Enrique,
On your last point Enrique, why should the transfers not used be lost? A standard player doesn’t loose them as they can role over 2 so why you saying a premium player loose them.Im sure youve got it in your head that all premium players somehow gain magic transfers somewhere. as before the start of stage 20 having made 2 transfers for stage 19 I had the 2 given to me for stage 20, putting me in the same position as standard player, and leaving me 4 for tomorrow, the same as a standard player could. No advantage at all for me.
