    Without checking results, I think it might be for intermediate sprints?

    Always check on each stage for exact scoring rules…

    Hello … other than the

    Hello … other than the Scoring info detailed in http://fantasy.road.cc/howto, is there a supplemental scoring rules?

    Just the two below as an example, I can’t account for the additional points

    After stage 1 of 2019, Sagan earns 58 points.  He received 30 points for 2nd place, 6 points for intermediate sprint win.  where did 22 additional points come from? 

    Wout van Aert earned 13 points; 5 points for 16th place plus 5 points for being on same team as stage winner.  Can’t seem to account for the 3 additional points.

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    I have a question about the scoring. Is there bonus points at the end of the grand tours for overall? So extra points for actually winning the yellow jersey for instance. Or is it just the same points for finishing a stage in the jersey? 

    Thanks.

    Just stage points for jerseys.  Nothing extra at the end.

    Hi, yes, the wording on the ‘stages’ page is:
    Team Time Trial scoring. 20 points for each participating member of the first place team down to 2 point for each participating member of the 10th placed team
    That means each member of the winning team gets 20 points, each member of the second place team gets 18 and so on down to 2 points for each member of the 10th place team.

    In terms of rider selection, one would only need 1 rider (out of 8 riders) from a team to qualify for a TTT win?

    Every rider in the team scores the same points for finishing position in a TTT, regardless of which riders actually crossed the line when. There are no team bonuses given out. So it’s 20 points for everyone in the winning team, 12 for 2nd down to 2 points for the 10th best team. Jersey points are on top of this. If you’re positive a team is capable of a top 5 then having 2 riders from that team is a good idea.

    I terms of the Tour de France, the TTT is on stage 2. There’s a sprint stage beforehand and something a little hillier on stage 3. I would put little thought into the TTT, take your sprinters for stage 1 and maybe fill it with cheap riders from good TTT teams.

I suggest looking here: https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/dauphine/2018/gc for how the race went last year, and then get involved in the race thread on the forum for what others think.

     

    Apologies, I was not clear with my question.  I was referring to score per user in a specific league.

    I do see the rider score under “This Tour” under Rider Rankings, but I wanted to see user score for CdD per leauge for comparison purposes.  After navigating the site further, I now see that user scores are all zeroes, suggesting that user score is reset to zero for a given race per leauge.

    cheers … C4L

    Well basically, out of a

    Well basically, out of a start list that should contain 154 people, there are only 2 teams with provisionally completed rosters, 1 with 6 riders, 1 with 5, 7 with 4, and the rest have fewer. So the start list is provisionally half complete. Usually it’s better than this with a full provisional start list that we can enter and then fire up the competition. I’m expecting it to be updated in the next 24 hours and then we can open things up, but I’m not doing it yet. As long as it’s relatively complete, the comp will be open, even with later changes.

    teams can be finalised very last minute for varying reasons.

    Here’s a list so far, not sure how updated it is though…. https://www.cyclingstage.com/criterium-du-dauphine-2019/riders-cdd-2019/

    Yes, there needs to be an active competition. Teams are different for each tour. Next up is the Criterium du Dauphine, starting Sunday. We’ll open it in the next couple of days, when the start list is a little more complete.

    Any more questions just shoot.

    Thanks for clarifying.  Looking forward to joining the CdD.

    I would assume that the start list would be firmed by now.  Be good to afford time to get familiar with the “Pick Team” page and select riders.

    Does there have to be an active competition for the “Pick team” page to appear.  As the Giro just ended, I have to wait for Criterium Dauphine to start? If so, when will the Dauphine be listed under Current Competition?

    Hi, Rookie’s question!

    Are there the details of my rider’s points?  For example, MAS hits 12 points today… how? Is it written somewhere?
    Thanks in advance

    Was this stage 4 dai? If so, he got 6 for his stage position of 15th, 1 for 10th on GC, and 5 for the young rider award (unique to the vuelta, he’ll have red numbers on his back).

    You can find scoring information by clicking on ‘How To Play’ and scrolling down. All the generic scoring information is there and if there are some competition specific exceptions, then they’ll be in ‘Stage Information’ on each competition page and right at the bottom.

    Hope that helps!
