The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[The Hitch]

I hope this doesn't come out the wrong way, but if people start posting screenshots of the latest update, I don't think I want to spend so much time posting updates.

It's not that I want the credit or anything like that, it's just that I think the purpose of me posting updates with a small describtion gets a bit undermined if most have already seen the latest rankings, and if that's the case I don't really want to spend a lot of time writing, posting updates and updating the cqmanager.net website.

I hope that's understandable.

So for this time, since the standings have already been posted, I'm not gonna write a whole lot, but the download is available at the website now.

Well i was eagerly awaiting your update, as Im sure were the 70 others of us not represented in the screen shot who have no clue where we stand

I don't quite understand what the damage has been done but point taken, your game - your rules. I'm sorry i won't do that again...

Oh no damage done. I don't mind people posting updates and after all it's the enthusiasm that keeps the game alive

It's just that I might not be posting as comprehensive updates that I previously have, but again Hitch has a valid point so meh, I probably will

 

[Kazistuta]

I see no new update on the cqmanager.net website??

IMO the game is much more likely to die without your updates, sometimes it's just too hard to wait

I definitely agree with you... I like your updates and for this reason I was not given any names before than you, I was only giving some "anticipations" based on numbers to increase the curiosity. But of course I can even stop to do that if you, or any other here, think that also what I'm doing reduce the enthusiasm.

Maybe I shouldn't post how to get the rank from yourself...sorry for that!

Its karma for creating the other game

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yaaay! I went from place 119 last week to place 82. I scored 422 points this week, and I now have 622 in total.

 

[CQmanager]

Thanks for the update Hugo. There must be something wrong with the update because I dropped 52 spots

 

[bicing]

Sitting pretty in 22nd place.

285 of my 907 points (31%) come from riders that are part of less than 20 other teams. They are performing higher than I would expect them at this stage of the year, so it's all good!

(I'm talking about Ciolek, De Gendt, Steegmans, Blythe, Masciarelli, Boeckmans)

No the update is perfectly fine because I went up 37 places.

 

[Panda Claws]

Wow I am actually in 24th place. I would never have expected that.

De Gendt got points?

If he did its a bonus cos i picked him thinking about way way later in the season

 

[Popchu]

Wow, 20th! That's pretty good.

 

[EvansIsTheBest]

I am sorry if someone already posted this information, but I thought it was interesting to see which teams were the most similar to one another. I might be missing someone, but it looks like the most similar teams are:

Kvinto - The Hitch 22 (riders in common)
Ruudz0r - The Hitch 22
Kvinto - MADRAZO 22
skidmark - FF'Wilco 21
Kvinto - Ruudz0r 20
Kvinto - skidmark 20
FF'Wilco - Ruudz0r 20
skidmark - Nyssinator 20
The Hitch - Froome19 20

 

[taiwan]

Next few engagements...

Oman: Boonen, Davis, Peter Velits, Farrar, Henderson, Willems, Blythe, Guardini.
Algarve: Plaza, Haussler, Kroon, Larsson, De Gendt, Lietaer.
Haut Var: Davis (but...how?), Degenkolb, Boivin, Vaugrenard.
Liagueglia: Battaglin, Bertagnolli

Greipel!

 

[Midnightfright]

Greipel!

I had a straight pick between Farrar and griepel and decided to go for the safe pick with "farrar". I'm already regretting it altough I'm still hoping him feasting on 2nd and 3rd places will pay off in the long run. Continuing my slow path to complete domination. Up to 109th now got a feeling I may make a big splash this week and break the top 105.

You saved a good 200 points by going for Farrar though. Thats a good Angel Madrazo right there.

Which is what drew me to tyler. Im sure it will seem smarter after he podiums 12 grand tour stages. Altough I didn't select Madrazo i tried to avoid riders I'm to big fans of as i knew my judgement would be clouded ie him and Ian bibby.

It's still pretty early to see how their seasons will pan out. Greipel is almost at 200 points, but still a long ways away from getting to his 2011 score. I wasn't even considering Farrar, but it I was, I would have chosen Greipel over Farrar.

That's interesting, thanks! It's good to know that even the most similar teams have a third of their team to cheer for that the other guy doesn't have. I said it before I saw the full ranking this week, but I'll say even more emphatically now that it's cool to have so many teams participating and competitive - seeing people gain and drop over 70 spots in one week was something that didn't happen last year, even in the early going.
