The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[Havetts]

I never doubted and just went for it.

 

[AussieGoddess]

well I have submitted my team, but not holding out any real hope

will be fun anyway

 

[the asian]

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

It took about one hour for me.

 

[CasperVg]

Also sent in my team. Decided to go with a team made up of riders I like (and hope they will improve next year, of course). It appears I mainly like Belgian riders tho, as evidenced below

Countries:
Belgian 12
Dutch 4
French 4
Italian 2
Aussie 3
Others 8

Points:
9x 0-50 points
7x 51-100 points
12x 101-500 points
5x 500+ points

 

[bicing]

Interesting that "Luke Schmid" submit a team.
Come back to the forum buddy.

 

[Tuarts]

Right, final decisions to be made and finalised team sent in tomorrow, come what may.

 

[Jancouver]

Team submitted!

I was staying away from this thread because names were being discussed and that would ruin my game. Perhaps I will be missing once again some of the obvious picks but at least I know I was not influenced by anyone else. After all my team has been ready for several weeks and I was just waiting until the end of the year to submit my team.

Now, I will disappear again and will be back on January 5th to see all the teams. Cant wait for the game and the season to start.

Good luck to all and Happy New Year!

Happy new year to everyone! Remember to spend January 1st picking your CQ team! What else is there to do with hangovers?

Also, I just want to remind the following to get back to me with the requested changes to their teams, just in case they've forgot:

flyers
Mellow Velo
element

 

[omloop van het houtland]

it's the first time that i will play that game?
can someone explain to me, where that i can see the ranking of the players (after the first races)?

There will be roughly weekly updates posted in this thread once the season starts.

Need to reassess my team after Cobo's decision

Even if he came to a better team and with Matxin, he wouldn't exactly be an obvious pick..

 

[Kvinto]

I guess, Cobo just occupied a place of some Movistar rider (that features/featured in his CQ team) so this rider will not have opportunities that he would have had without Cobo in the team.

me thinks this mysterious rider is a russian

Clever Kvinto..

 

[Ferminal]

Made my mind up already, I'm swinging the axe... I probably should have made the change even without Cobo's move. Ruined my perfect 7500 though

 

[jsem94]

Sent my team.

I'm pretty sure it was at 7498 pts.

 

[al_pacino]

The Cobo move forced me into a change. Which then forced me into another 4 or 5.

I've posted an update regarding Rui Alberto Faria Costa in post 1 and 2:

Rui Alberto Faria Costa: Costa was suspended from October 2010 untill March 2011 and his value is therefore that of his 2009 score.

I'll try getting back to those who have PM'ed me today later tonight.

 

[Kvinto]

then i'm pretty disappointed because i'm pretty sure i would have had him in my team for 413 points, i dunno whether or not it is smart to do any changes now

Well it's not really an "update" because that has been his value all the time according to the rules, but I thought it would be smart to write it in here as I got a specific question about him.

 

[Kvinto]

I know, it's just my bad
I've looked at my team, it doesn't worth trying, i'll let it ride
edit: or maybe at least i have 2 days to decide

 

[Kvinto]

i've made a change

 

[roundabout]

I know I wanted to make some changes but now I can't remember what exactly I wanted to change.

So he is cheaper than he would have been had he not been been suspended: surely that is contrary to the purpose of the pricing policy.
