2012 Vuelta CQ game

[CQmanager]

Game is now open! http://game.cqmanager.net


More details to come ...

Buying power 3500????

Get ready

 

[martyfulu]

awesome....

 

[gustienordic]

I'm ready!!

 

[Eric8-A]

Lets do this

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Yep, i've been waiting for this

I guess 3500 will be good.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Looking forward to it.

3000 points was the budget for the Giro: I would lean towards repetition of that. Otherwise, are we to assume that Contador and Valverde are unavailable?

Correct, Contador and Valverde or any other doper returning from ban is not available.

We will go with the 3500, just to try it out and and that will give us idea for next year.

Otherwise the game will be open on Wednesday. I know its late but twe major reason is that San Sebastian is on Tuesday and I think quite a few Vuelta participants will be racing SS so more points will be awarded ... which also means that I will have to manually update every rider because the official downloads are only available once a week. ... like I dont have anything better to do

Prepare your team based on these values but realize that good amount of points will be awarded from San Sebastian! http://www.cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/cqRankingRider.asp?current=1

The 'Matching Riders on Other Teams' feature is working now. Shouldn't that be inactive until after the deadline?

removed! Thanks for the heads up. If you guys see any other bugs, please let me know ... after all, I'm just a cycling junkie too

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

You haven't added the San Sebastian points.

 

[CQmanager]

Buying cost is same from the last update. The San Sebastian points will br only counted for the main game.

So far we have 31 teams. I know this is not TDF or Giro but common guys. We need to have at least 50 before I lose motivation

Are you in?

These are!

[Hugo Koblet]

Of course I'll create a team as well

 

[vladimir]

Been very busy the last couple of days. But team is finally submitted
Don't think I spent more than three minutes, but still very satisfied!

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

I find it more difficult to select a good team for this one, than for the Giro or Tour.

 

[al_pacino]

My team of jokers is in.

I think this may have been a little low: the current points seem higher than in the Giro, but I can't explain why this would have been

 

[Tuarts]

No way, this was incredibly easy, I almost had a dream-team of riders but for 40 points over. Still happy with what I got, less struggle to name a team than last editions

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I'm not at all happy with my team, but I agree, you can make seemingly incredible powerful teams here.

There are plenty of decent picks, guys who don't cost too much who could do well, but there's just too much of them, so I find it hard to determine the best selection of those guys.

Either my team is better than I think, or I'm missing something

 

[CQmanager]

You can now view all teams. We have 49 teams so it should be easy for me to make top 50

Lol this is my team, top 5 most common picks all in it for me.

By the way, I think you listed the wrong cost, because the cqmanager site gives a different cost for almot all of these.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Note that the scores in the list above are riders CQ scores 1/1/12-18/8/12 (which I believe CQM uses for calculating scores), not their cost in the game which is the CQ score 13/8/11-12/8/12

43/49 teams have Anton lol.

Rubbish, I picked more favourites and gc contenders for this team than any of the other comps. Picking a certain favourite was always an ott risk in the other two games, this one you could probably have picked Froome or one of the other 1500 guys and still had a good team around them.

Think people are just whinging because they can't load their team up more.
