The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[Hugo Koblet]

By the way hugo will it still be 33 max 25 min and 7500 points?

That's the plan, yes.

The two main arguments to continue with the current system still applies:

1) It's easier to keep track of one's record using the same system each year.
2) If it ain't broken don't fix it

Okay thank you

we also need a few rulings

Offredo and Contador as an example

Kolobnev as well.

Most likely, Offredo won't be available and Contador will cost 2272, his 2009 value.

Kolobnev as well.

I'm not that into the Kolobnev case, but 690, his 2010 value, seems to be in accordance with the rules.

 

[will10]

Also Pellizotti and Pozzato will need ruling upon

 

[CQmanager]

Cant believe this thread is getting some action. Where were you guys all year? Most of the time I was talking to myself or Armchair ...

I have to also give some credit to Teo, Shalgo, Eric8-A and few others that were keeping me company

I would ask for a rethink re offredo I think he should be in the game his ban finished jan 30 - and would only miss the TDU

but if the rule is decided ok but :'(

and CQ manager me I help run another forum so only come here for this game and as I went from good to **** but April no need to be here

Hmm, I don't really know to be honest. What if his ban ended February 15th? February 30th?

I think it's better to stick to the rules. Unless, of couse, the rule about riders getting back from suspension during the season not being available is dropped.

 

[Ferminal]

Kolobnev wasn't suspended.

 

[shalgo]

Hmm, I don't really know to be honest. What if his ban ended February 15th? February 30th?

I can guarantee that no bans will end on February 30th.

But seriously, I also like the bright-line rule that we currently have.

LOL! That's probably the worst fail I've made all year

Alberto is 2272, and he is in my team

A classic jsg post

 

[LaFlorecita]

Alberto is like 30% of my budget, bastard

I suggest we make him his 2012 value, everyone will be happy

Update 39: Geraint is "Too Fast"

Ok, admittedly the title for this update is a somewhat far-fetched, but Geraint Too Fast did have a good week. A very good week actually, as he is by far the highest scoring this week with 865 points thanks to Uran, Kessiakoff, Betancur and Henao. Second highest scoring team, The Amateur, also had Uran, Betancur and Henao.

This week's high scorers:

1. Geraint Too Fast - 865
2. The Amateur - 704
3. Maaaaaaaarten - 612
4. King Of The Worlds - 581
5. Netserk - 567

As a result, Geraint Too Fast is also by far higest jumper this week, moving up no less than 20 places! Three other of the high scorers are also amon the high jumpers: The Amateur, King Of The Worlds and Maaaaaaaarten.

This week's high jumpers:

1. Geraint Too Fast +20
2. Froome19 +9
2. sublimit +9
4. The Amateur +8
5. Maaaaaaaarten +6
5. King Of The Worlds +6
5. Hugo Koblet +6

Looking at the overall top 10, generally they didn't do well this week. Armchair Cyclist scored the most point this week, 444, and as a result moved up from 7th to 5h. Our invincible leader, skidmark, finally has a bad week as he scores only 253. As a result, Kvinto closes the gap with almost 200 points. That probably doesn't give skidmark sweaty palms, though, as he still ahead by more than 1100 points.

Meanwhile, shalgo is a new face in the top 10, pushing out bicing.

Also, it is worth noticing that this is the 5th week in a row (at least the 5th week in a row, actually. I don't have updates from before update 36) that The Hitch has moved up 1 single spot. He's now in 12th place.

Top 10:

1. (1) skidmark - 18898
2. (2) Kvinto - 17763
3. (3) Nyssinator - 17247
4. (4) TeoSheva - 16867
5. (7) Armchair cyclist - 16568
6. (5) FF'Wilco - 16528
7. (6) EvansIsTheBest - 16454
8. (8) mc_mountain - 15986
9. (10) MADRAZO - 15978
10. (12) shalgo - 15857

As the rules say, the game will finish when the last "big race" (1.1 or higher) is raced. It seems as though Tour of Taihu Lake (2.1) will be our last race.

It is ridden from November 1st till November 8th, so the last update will probably be out around November 12th, when we will crown our final winner.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Wow . Considering I was hanging around 100th place in June, I'm very happy with my current position.

Good to know. I took my first look yesterday at this year's rankings with an eye to next year... it should be a fun year, seems like a few more expensive possible 'deals' than this year... and I can't believe a whole section of the forum are going to be sort of cheering for Andy Schleck. Although if we all pick him, can we all cheer against him?

Can't wait to pore through cq's website in November and December again.

 

[Ferminal]

I actually find the higher priced ones less enticing for next year, although I've changed strategy.

 

[will10]

Spent half an hour CQ trawling yesterday and added another 30 names to an already ridiculously long shortlist...

I've begun deleting names on mine. Turns out a lot of riders could be deleted, actually!

 

[greenedge]

I have 441 cyclists on my shortlist, probably give or take 15 (as some are bolded/ copied from CQ if i could not be bothered to type some names)- 49 on 1 page and 9 pages.

 

[Eric8-A]

I haven't even done a shortlist. Seeing as how people have a list already tells me that I should get started on mine.
