The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[ingsve]

My team contains 10 of those riders which isn't too bad.

 

[FF'Wilco]

Just nine from the list but i should acctually take Reus, little mistake so it would be 10.

 

[Eric8-A]

Susan Westermeyer.

Women are allowed for next year?

 

[ingsve]

Should we perhaps post a reminder in the main forum so that people who might not visit the games forum remembers the deadline?

 

[The Hitch]

I think that my entire provisional list of about 20 riders is in that list.

 

[AntonioRossi]

I thought I had finished my list, turned out that I did the math wrong. so now I have 33 riders and 450 points to spare...I like my riders, but 450 points is a lot. So now I need to rethink a whole bunch

 

[Kevin Rudd's Hairdryer]

What about Julia Gillard, Kevin?

There is no value in Julia. She is definitely past her prime!

 

[auscyclefan94]

There is no value in Julia. She is definitely past her prime!

I think that is according to a newspoll or nielsen ranking not CQ ranking!

I think that'd be a good idea - mods?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Team submitted: full complement of 33 and full budget of 7500.

I thought about it far more than I did for my 9th place finish last year, so I'll probably do far worse. I suspect that my shortlist rejects might be a better team than the one I've submitted.

7 riders in 500-650 points range
8 in 200-499 range
4 in 100-199 range
7 in 50-99 range
4 in 10 to 49 range
3 in 0-9 range


Average age 27 yrs 6 months
3 U23s
10 24-25 year olds
10 26 to 29s
8 30-32s
2 veterans

21 different nationalities
5 from the western hemisphere
5 Australians
4 Belgians
9 Eastern Europeans

16 teams represented
4 non WT teams (including 1 who might have retired: I might need a rethink...)
5 riders on Astana, 4 each on Rabobank and Greenedge

Done and you will be

Hugo, any chance of a team update to make sure our PM's got through (will be away camping just before comp goes live and don't want to miss out)?

My Team

16 Nationalities
19 Teams
3 riders > 500 pionts
5 riders I've kept faith in from last years team! well, now they're really overdue to perform
Average age 27.5
9 riders older than 30

Team added up to 7500 exactly, really wanted to make 1 change which resulted in 3 changes to team. Ready to watch those 3 riders now be the standouts in 2012.

I'm not quite sure I know what you mean, but if you look at post 3 on page 1 in this thread, there's a list of teams entered, which I update everytime a new team joins.

Is that what you meant?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

One week till deadline!

Remember that there is only one week left to submit your team, so if you haven't already thought about your team for next season, it's time to do so now!

We currently have 52 entrants but hopefully we'll beat the 87 entrants from last year.

On a sidenote, almost everyone have been very good at sending in their team using the correct formula - thanks a lot, that makes it a lot easier for me!

[dlwssonic]

[Hugo Koblet]

There is no "correct" list. All riders prices are those listed on CQRanking except previous or returning dopers. You can read the rules of those in post 1
