We have the great grand tour game, the CQ ranking game, the prediction game etc, but here is another game, a manager game for the Giro d'Italia.
You are in charge of a team. You need to have a list of 15 riders and cannot spend more than $6,500,000 on the team.
I was originally going to have it that you send in a squad of 9 at the beginning of each stage which will score you points, but for one person to manage, that is going to be too hard to keep track of.
At the start of the competition you are to submit 9 riders from your 15 who will score you points at the end of the race. Points are as follows:
General Classification
1: 50 points
2: 30 points
3: 20 points
4: 18 points
5: 15 points
6: 10 points

You get 2 joker cards for the race. They are worth double points. Prior to stage 1 you need to nominate what stages the joker cards will apply for.
Also at the end of each day, the jersey holders will score points.
Overall: 20 points
Points: 20 points
KOM: 20 points
Youth: 20 points
Yes, if you have riders leading these categories after the stages you used your jokers on, they will be double points.
So it's all about being strategic.
You have up until Saturday 7th of May 1800AEST to submit your squad of 15 riders, your 9 riders to score points at the end of the race and your two joker cards.
I will not be updating the team standings every day as it's too much work for one person but you will get to know your standings a couple times per week.
I will allow a maximum of 40 entries.
You are to PM me your entries. Once you submit your entry, it's final. There will be no changes. So it's best to wait until Friday or Saturday to submit your team.
Declare your interest in this thread. The first 40 are in.
