I'm sure Sasquatch will elaborate at some point, but basically a joker card is a card that gives you double points on one stage. With three joker cards this game this means that you will get double points on three separate stages.

So when you send in your team you write which stages you want to use your joker cards on.

For instance, you write:

Joker

Stage 2
Stage 10
Stage 17

And all points you score on these stages are doubled. Pretty simple in reality but of course you have to know what it is :)

Fanks I read the Giro instructions last night so think Ive got most of it.

If I made the numbers should be fun.

Yes. The game is intended to be tougher.

You need to think long and hard about which stage in the first week you use the joker for with the layout of the team. Obviously the other two weeks are easy.

I will look into that comment about changing the jersey holders points but probably won't I'll leave it at 20, I'll just extend the stage points.

Yep

At this stage no more entries. You can commit but you will be on the reserve list unless I decide to add more people, in which case you will play.

This is going to be totally different than the Giro game.

As well as 15 riders, you have to select a team that will score you points where they finish in the teams classification as well as leading that classification every stage.

Rules and how to submit your entry.

You are to submit your entry in the following format. Including their salaries. I want the riders names and in order from most expensive to least expensive. Therefore someone like Contador is listed down the bottom for some and up the top for others - one of the reasons mistakes were made in the Giro game. I want to copy and paste this straight into the spreadsheet.

No numbers before the riders names either.
Only Salary for the list of 20 riders. Your 9 riders I don't want their salaries there.

Remember: Only your team of 9 you choose out of your 20 will score points for where they finish on the classification at the end of the race. The team of 20 scores every stage.

So if you have Cavendish in your team of 20, and you fail to have him in your team of 9, and he wins the points classification, you won't get those points because he wasn't in your team of 9.

THE FOLLOWING is how I want the PM to be sent to me. I want it set out exactly like this. If it isn't set out like this, your entry won't be accepted. I spent hours at the start of the Giro game fixing everyone's entries up and chasing everyone for jokers etc. Follow it exactly like the example below and you will have no issues.

Team of 20

Andy Schleck - $1,200,000
Alberto Contador - $1,200,000
Cadel Evans - $800,000
Ivan Basso - $800,000
Robert Gesink - $800,000
Mark Cavendish - $600,000
Alessandro Petacchi - $600,000
Philippe Gilbert - $600,000
Thomas Voeckler - $400,000
Jurgen Van Den Broeck - $400,000
Chris Horner - $400,000
Levi Leipheimer - $300,000
David Moncoutie - $80,000
Anthony Charteau - $60,000
Pierre Rolland - $60,000
Matthew Goss - $60,000
Andre Greipel - $60,000
Danilo Hondo - $60,000
Alexandre Vinokourov - $60,000
Tony Martin - $60,000

Team of 9

Alberto Contador
Andy Schleck
Cadel Evans
Ivan Basso
Robert Gesink
Mark Cavendish
Thomas Voeckler
Jurgen Van Den Broeck
Pierre Rolland

Team

RadioShack

Joker

Stage 1
Stage 10
Stage 20

Yes there will be 3 joker stages. The catch is the joker stages have to be used once a week. Can't be used twice a week or 3 times in a week. For example.

Sunday - Sunday - One joker
Monday - Sunday - One joker
Monday - Sunday - One joker

That will make the game more interesting and more difficult and will hopefully result in a much closer, enjoyable game.

So that's how I want the entries set out - spaces between the 3 headings.

I don't want the PM set out like that. All I want to do is copy and paste the entry straight into the spreadsheet. I dont' want to have to alter anything like I had to in the Giro Game. Full names also, not just the surname. That first example is how it has to be sent.

Please ensure you have your complete team in there with the jokers when you send. I don't want to have to chase up everyone who forget. I won't be chasing anyone up if they don't have it right. If it's not done properly, I will dismiss it. I know that sounds harsh but it's much easier on me as it's hard to keep track during the 3 weeks already, I don't want to have an extra week on there of more work chasing up people who don't check their entries.

The salary cap for this game will be $7,000,000 - Your team cannot exceed that price.

The team you choose is also part of the salary cap.

That team will score you points if they lead the teams classification at the end of a stage, where they finish in the team time trial and where they finish on the team classification at the end of the Tour.

Cheers guys and have fun.

I think the $7,000,000 salary cap for 20 riders + 1 team is difficult.

If it isn't difficult enough, let me know and I'll reduce it to $6,500,000
