The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[Hugo Koblet]

Okay... I would assume that all teams would have the same score at the beginning... At least not over 7500 points, right? Can someone explain to me why, for example, Skibby the bush kangaroo has ove 18000 points? And why I have less than 7499 points, which was the cost of my team? I'm sorry if it's really obvious and I'm just being stupid...

"Points" is the points the team has earned this season. It's not the value of your team you send in, which you can't see unless you go to that specific team.

The "points" shown in the spreadsheet now is that of 2010. How many points the team will score if all riders repeat their 2010 season. Don't worry too much about it, it's just there to show how the spreadsheet works and I thought it would be fun to see who has gone for the underarchievers.

For instace, Skibby the bush kangaroo is on top with 18000 points. That's the amount of points his team earned in 2010 and shows that he has gone for a lot of underarchievers.

The "real" "points" for all riders at the moment is 0 because no races have been held now. In the next update (which is the first real update) all teams will have their 2012 points instead.

Oh okay. Thank you so much, I was really beginning to worry already.

Hehe you shouldn't

The first update will probably be out after the Australian nationals and then everything will be "normal"

i call it the voice of common sense

Lol! I don't have much common sense then it would seem.

 

[just some guy]

PS great job Hugo for dealing with the nightmare of the last few weeks

 

[Hugo Koblet]

PS great job Hugo for dealing with the nightmare of the last few weeks

Actually it hasn't been that rough. Most have been very good at sending in their teams in the right way, although, especially lately, quite a few sent in their teams something like this:

1. Igor Anton - 634

Etc., where I had to get back and ask them to send in their list in the right way.

 

[Kvinto]

Lol! I don't have much common sense then it would seem.

yours is perhaps the voice of originality

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I'm a bit surprised these riders haven't been picked more times:

Juan Jose Haedo - 6 times
Antonio Santoro - 5 times
Daniele Ratto - 4 times
Sonny Colbrelli - 4 times

Did anyone consider these and why were they left out in the end?

Edit: Matteo Pelucchi - 7 times as well.

Technically at only 4498 points down on last year I am top I reckon I can stay there for 3 or 4 weeks at least..

WHY? thats all I can say.

From this team you could replace any of Stybar, Henao, Duque, Talansky, Kennaugh or Renshaw with Gilbert and still have leftover points (as well as keeping Uran and Cancellara)

 

[will10]

Got to question why TSF wouldn't use the 7500. Some teams come in a little under but....

I knew my team would hardly be unique (since everyone kept dishing out good picks into this thread! And now look what we're stuck with ) but I'm not so sure that's a bad thing - I seem to have all the "obvious" picks covered plus a lot of guys who 20-30 others picked. The closest I come to getting a unique pick was Stef Clement (4) and Rafaa Chtioui (4). Roll on the Aussie Nats!!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

It would be fun to see what everyone think their riders will score - or just what some of the most picked riders will score.

 

[Popchu]

This forum is taking this game very serious I see... Let's hope I will do fine with my team created in 30 minutes, hope it is enough to battle with guys who're working months on this game. But I like the concept very much, good job Hugo Koblet.

Only one unique rider with Paul Poux. Any comments on my team?

It would be fun to see what everyone think their riders will score - or just what some of the most picked riders will score.

Dunno really. I'm confident that every rider on my team has the potential to double their score - that was the reason I picked them - but no idea which ones will!

Wow great work man. On all the tables.

I knew and hoped I would be right at the top of this list, since I always believed that taking the common riders is a good strategy.

I suspect all posters above a certain point have no unique picks.

 

[will10]

Echo Hitch's post, thanks for all the stat work/tables folks.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I want to thank those of you who have done some stats as well - then I don't have to spend hours figuring out how to do it

[hrotha]

Hugo, can you link to those stats in one of the three opening posts? They're too interesting to be lost in an ocean of posts.

I'm surprised Roche isn't a more popular choice. For months he was one of the few riders I was sure I was going to pick, even after he scored some points late in the season, but in the end I couldn't keep him without dropping other riders I fancied more. But still.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I'm wondering who else has picked JESUS!?

He was on my list before Beijing and the Italian classics. He scored 192 points in October '11, so he was out.
