The Great Grand-Tour-Game 2011

Count me in as well.

Actually can't see the point in having a max entrants limit for the giro, except if it's to lessen the work load (which I respect).

Exactly that´s the case. And we´ll have a sweet playoff format like in the big leagues. Going from 32 to 16 (which i´ll change to; i started with 12 for the 2nd round because i tought we won´t get 32, i was conservative guessing) to 8.

You are in.

If we don´t discuss the USD-Topic too much, i think it will be ok. I mean it´s a present by free will, so it should be legal.
Otherwise, how should i be able to send a bottle of champagne around the world? So as unfortunate as it is, the bottle can be only virtually.

BTW, you want to register? I am not sure about your post in that case...

You can already start calculating how much € you get for 50$.
But I would have prefered that nice bottle.


We also need some "YOU ARE OUT!" celebration ceremony after Giro.

 

[Sasquatch]

Sign me up please if there are spots left.

Hopefully I can scrape in.

 

[Ferminal]

Thanks for some hints.

All big favourites anyway. I had Di Luca for Montevergine, which he won last time I think.

The trick will be picking which days Cav will win (I don't think he will get more than two wins) and finding which MTFs suit which of the big climbers.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I suspect I might be too late: can you let me know

Yes, you are

In as lucky Number 32. Will the last be the first?

Haha... I think the last day will be a "masacre". 16 drop out and may 10 of them were sure to be in. That´s the time when the final ITT shuffles the Top-20 one last time.

That´s the difficult part and the 12-20 Finishers. Do i choose the likes of Sivtsov or Lövkvist...

we pick 1 to 20 right ?

I had a lot of trouble trying to work out whom to pick.
Movistar especially... I am certain a couple of their guys will be in there, but was pretty stuck

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Haha. That Movistar-Thing will be the Running-Gag troughout. Now i have to live with it.... Hope everybody enjoys it.

Yes 1 to 20 in the correct order (so Contador at No. 1 ) and then right down to No.20....

I think i´ll add more tiebreakers. Strange things happend before. I don´t wanna make a lottery when the going gets tough.

 

[Hartog]

Aww, too late. Guess I'll take a spot on the waiting list then. You never know.

 

[Tuarts]

When do we have to have our list in - by the Giro?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Aww, too late. Guess I'll take a spot on the waiting list then. You never know.

Yes, have you on the waiting list...

When do we have to have our list in - by the Giro?

48 hours (2 Days) before the start of the Giro...

I'll just be a spectator but good luck everyone.

That´s the Link for how the Prediction-Stats will look like.

(see also on Post #1)

I will not publish any predictions before all 32 have send their picks for reasons of equity.

The players can send their picks now, since the Giro-Rosters are published.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Do we play with the 3stages max rule or not ?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Yes 3 max. Stages wins per rider.

 

[lancaster]

for the TTT are we after a rider or a team?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

For the TTT we only pick the team.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

submitted my team, was a difficult process.

 

[Cobblestoned]

submitted my team, was a difficult process.

But please keep us updated how often you sent some changes to Foxxi till 5th.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Since no one wants to be on the Waiting-List , i have skipped it.
Everybody who registers and sends picks until Thursday evening is in the run for the 50 USD.

 

[Eric8-A]

I just submitted my team. Not so sure about it. I feel like I may be a bigger bust on this game than I am at the CQ one.

 

[AntonioRossi]

so could I still join? Not sure if this means any one can join now?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Yes, you can join. The Waiting-List just didn´t work out. Send the picks per PM until the deadline...
