2011 Tour de France Manager Game

[Ferminal]

Jokers are so hard to pick.

Week 1: Not sure to go with a flat one (I have around 10 "sprinters"). Or a hilly won. Early in the week, or late in the week. Will probably end up having one each way and picking Stage 5 or 6.

Week 2: Probably go flat, or middle it again.

Week 3: One of the MTFs I think, which seems a bit counter-intuitive, but a bit of insurance if things aren't the way I want them on the Champs...

 

[Tuarts]

Is this correct with all riders starting but with some non-riding riders or just waiting to be updated 100%

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Am I cool to send this in tomorrow?

 

[Sasquatch]

Deadline is start of stage 1.

Any tips received after the start of stage 1 won't be accpeted.

The final salary list is not going to be edited. It's up to you to make sure that your team of 20 are starting the race. All start lists should be complete now anyway.

We are on a different program it seems see how it goes

PS Sasquath you got my PM with team ?

 

[boomcie]

About the 1 joker per week rule. Do you mean 1 joker every 7 days, or 1 joker every week? Because if the second is correct I could place a joker on stage 2 (Sunday) and on stage 3 (Monday).
In the other case, if I place a joker on the first stage (Saturday), I'd have to wait seven days to place another one on stage 8 (Saturday).

Concrete question:
So if for instance someone places a Joker on stage 4 (Tuesday), what would be the first possible stage pick for his next joker?

You need to pick one in each "week" block of racing.

Saturday - Sunday (Stage 1 - Stage 9)
Monday - Sunday (Stage 10 - Stage 15)
Monday - Sunday (Stage 16 - Stage 21)

Saturday - Sunday (Stage 1 - Stage 9)
Monday - Sunday (Stage 10 - Stage 15)
Monday - Sunday (Stage 16 - Stage 21)

Yeah, that's actually what I thought to be most likely, but it's kind of nonsensical because the first week is waaay longer

 

[Sasquatch]

You need to pick one in each "week" block of racing.

Saturday - Sunday (Stage 1 - Stage 9)
Monday - Sunday (Stage 10 - Stage 15)
Monday - Sunday (Stage 16 - Stage 21)

That's correct

I should have said stage to stage but you're on the money there. And yeah, I know the first week is long, but I could have changed it to Stage 1-7, Stage 8-14, Stage 15-21

And yes to the other guy I got your team.

 

[cineteq]

Sasquatch, can you post the participants thus far?

 

[Sasquatch]

It should be in one of the first few posts.

There's only about 24 odd people.

But I have only received about 5 teams so far. This time, if someone is willing to help me, I can E-Mail the excell spreadsheet to someone so they can upload it on the net

 

[search]

i didn't "register" for the competition, but can I still participate if someone is not going to send you his squad on time?

 

[Sasquatch]

Yeah you can join - see on the entries that people send in. But I think you'll be fine to play. Send through a team.

 

[Sasquatch]

At the moment these are the teams I have:

Jobiwan
Cineteq
Just Some Guy
Kazistuta
RaceOfTruth
Timmy-Loves-Rabo
Minessa
FoxxyBrown1111
Al_Pacino
Zapata
Sasquatch

If you sent the team and your name isn't on the list, send again please.

 

[Ferminal]

Who has GT? Couldn't decide on whether to take him or not and opted out of it.

 

[Sasquatch]

As of before no more entries will be accepted.

It's 240am here and I'm busy all day Sunday and need to fix up the spreadsheet properly so the first update will come at the end of the team time trial.

19 entries.

Now

There are some teams in which a rider didn't start. You have ASAP to send me a replacement. Your replacement has to be within the salary cap and someone who hasn't earnt any points yet.

It is your responsibility to PM me your replacement. You have up until the start of stage 4 to do so.

Hitch, Cineteq, Ferminal, Gotland are all eligible for replacements.

Standings after Stage 2

You can guess who has used their joker and who doesn't have Gilbert on their team.

1 Gotland 386
2 Zapata 344
3 Search 287
4 Jobiwan 285
5 Sasquatch 279
6 Just Some Guy 277

16 FoxxyBrown111 173
17 Armchair Cyclist 105
18 RaceOfTruth 99
19 Al_Pacino 75

Some of these don't really make sense to me. I'm not going to recalculate all scores, but it amazes me for one that Search ranks higher than Jobiwan without having Garmin Cervelo on board.

Afraid some of this doesn't add up.
