Is there anywhere I can look at last years results in this manager game? I tried to look in last years thread, but only found the link in the opening post and it didn't seem to be the final standings.

On one of the latest pages of last years thread, you should be able to find the latest update, which I believe was update 41.

If you can't find it or can't download it, please write again and I'll see what I can do.

I finally take part in this game and I am ready to dominate! Bring. It. On.

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?

Perfect Hugo.

Thanks. I definitely should have noticed that post.

Hi Hugo,

This time last year I asked Susan to give you a poke as your inbox was full so I couldn't send - I don't have anything in my sent messages folder despite trying to send twice - could you confirm if you have received?

Check the 1st page where Hugo posts all the messages he has received.

Getting very impatient looking forward to going through all the teams and seeing which obvious picks I've missed!

 

[taiwan]

Totally can't wait. I'm a bit sad, though, that I couldn't fit in all my personal 'breakout' picks while trying to cram in 'good on paper' bargains.

[Reuell]

All right, just handed in my team.
After researching the CQ site for most of the last 2 days

Hope my squad will have a terrific 2012
Most of my team is made up of cyclist I like, and hope will be back in the game.

Keep my discarded riders on another list, see if I made the right decisions cutting them off.

Can't wait for the season to start

After forgetting to save my pre-christmas changes to the team, I re-evaluated again (again & again) and finally decided just to send it in, no need to overthink it (over & over)

Final status: 33 riders - price 7476

Countries:

Italy 6
Spain 5
Belgium 3
Holland 3
Sweden 2
Denmark 2
Australia 2
Czech Rep. 2
France 2
Slovakia 1
Slovenia 1
Germany 1
Columbia 1
Kazakhstan 1
Poland 1

Youngest 21y - Oldest 35y
Avg. age 26,6y

0-100 points: 10 riders
100-400 points: 16 riders
400+ points: 7 riders

Only had room for four of my personal favorites in the end, and because I suddenly had a lot left in my budget, I decided to switch two out of my three zero-pointers.

Last year I missed 2-3 obvious picks (Cobo being the most crucial miss), looking forward to seing which riders I've missed this year

Did anyone else just decided to pick a team in 20 minutes? or am I the only one ?

yep, about 12 months ago my team took about that long. bit more thought gone into this seasons

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Slowly - or rather pretty quickly at the moment - are we approaching last years 87 entrants. We are currently at 65 now. I hope we will be more this year than last year.

I think being on a separate forum will have an effect on participation. That is somewhat remedied by the reminder posted on the main forum but last year the game thread was in the main forum for several months leading up to the deadline.

That's probably true. We will only be the most hardcore left

It's a shame though because the thread almost died last year when the sub-forum was created, but I can understand the need for a separate forum.

the only reason i took that long is because i went for a cigarette break half way through.

Maybe a request to the moderators to move this thread to the main topic area for one week only to up participation?

 

[Ferminal]

I'd say there are still many holding out for a few more days

You're not the only one.
