Thanks!

1) But you can't be right about point 1, as that race is a series of time trials/team time trials so the points for that, of course, have to be different from other WT races.

Thanks for noticing, The Rider. Accidently skipped Rheden GP when adding the profiles.
Now added.

LLS is right, Virginia Chrono Tour gives the same points as any other WT stage race.

I'll upload this year's points file later, it will mostly be the same like last season.

Some NC's for UNHCR:

Thanks bwiggins! I didn't even ask for it.. Those are just great.

So, how is it looking? It's been a few days now since the routes were posted, I guess most people should be ready?

This totally slipped my mind

Will try to get mine in tomorrow at the latest, my apologies.

It's been two and a half days only. Others need weeks for season planning

Sorry. I need at least until tomorrow evening. Had little time this weekend so I couldn't finish season planning for my leaders yet.

Same as above, haven't done it yet because I forgot

Short info for everyone, that didn't send his selection in so far. This time do not put the I column in a table.
The table seems to delete all columns with no value out. Just copy the column and paste it. I only added the PM column this year because we had the problem the last years already with empty cells. Didn't think it would be the same with 0's.

Even if I answered you to send E-I instead if it doesn't work for you, I'd prefer you to send me only column I but without the table!

I would like to withdraw my team, this is too time consuming for me.

Will try to get it in today, tomorrow at the latest. I mentioned somewhere else I would have been busy the last week, should have enough time to do it asap though

I think there are just two bigger tasks left (race&riders selection), then it´s just enjoying for months. My experience of the last season says it´s worth it, although my team was shitty as hell. Every manager more in here is great, so give it a try. You won´t regret it :)

I agree with the above, in fact, I would say only 1 of them is still hard. Some people (like me) select the races really fast, and the rider selection coming after this will take a while. On the other hand people like knockout already plan everything this round, and will just have to copy some stuff the next round.

No problem, i can just randomly chose, if it is better than withdrawing my team

Do we have a deadline?

No none yet. Allthough I'd prefer you send this in quick, so there is more time for the next task, which should be more time consuming.

Here is this years Points file: https://www.mediafire.com/download/8eh...oints.xlsx

Grand Tours give some more points on the final classification results and U23 have a lot less points this time.


Also I've updated the ICL-Archive File to this season: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5za7rhq0503....xlsx?dl=0
I think at this link you'll always find the file, even after more updates.
If you forgot how it works, here you can reread it: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1119373

Yeah, the next one is the biggie! Like knockout I felt I needed to take some time with the race selections this season, I feel not planning carefully enough might have cost me some points last season.

Wonderful organising Bikex, once again.

I'll say now please get the selections in within 24 hours. If not it doesn't matter much, but then the first could already start with the race planning.
If you get it in after those 24 hours, you won't have a guaranteed entry if a race is already full. So before is definitely better.

Can't do sorry for the PureBlack ones which went missing.

Race Planning
Please download this sheet: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1g5y9lmnjuh....xlsm?dl=0

#1 Open the DB and copy/paste your entire team in the tab "Riders". Replace the example riders that are there.
#2 Go to tab "Teams". Look for the column with your team IDs in it. Copy that column. Go to "Selected Races" and paste it in G1, overwrite "Selected?". In "Races" you now see all your races listed and also race clashes, please remember them. Maybe not them in "Planning".
#3 Now onto the actual Planning: In "Planning", you'll see your riders listed aswell as the races. You can sort the riders by name, remaining race days and their stats that are shown there, simply by pressing the buttons on top. If you want a rider to take part in a race put a 1 in the according cell.
#4 Try to send full teams to all races you are taking part in. In row 3 you see how much riders are needed.

Rules:
#1 Every rider has to race at least 20 race days and not more than written in the DB.
#2 Riders are not allowed to take part in clashing races, please remember that.
#3 You have to send full teams to WT races and a minimum of 5 riders to CT races, if you can't manage to do that pm me and we'll find a solution.
#4 WT teams, make sure you only send riders with AVG no more than 76,0 to CT.2 races.

When done, please upload the file this time and send me a link.

If you haven't done the Race Selections yet, you of course can't fill this task out yet. Please do that first and I'll update the Planning file asap.

------------------------------------

Now onto the focus races: I know you guys had some critiques concerning how it was done last season.
I wouldn't change much, but I'm open to your suggestions. So post your ideas and we'll see if that would make a better system.
My idea now would be basically the same like last year: Every team picks 3 focus races, but different then last year: Within the three focus races has to be at least one stage race and one oneday race, also the focus races have to be designed for at least two different rider types. The last point would prevent teams choosing all their focus races just for one rider. Thoughts?
