The problem is with the file, that I haven't changed it at all since the first season. Will fix the bugs next season if I don't forget.
Everyone that still wants to send in development can still do that.

Would be great if someone could do a Velo d'Or vote, like we had the last seasons.

We got some decent packages there, eh. Didn't we knockout?

30 is good number to have Bikex: looking good so far.

I wonder why you use irony here? It's exactly what I needed to get Geyer to 75HI which was the reason why i invested in stat packages in the first place

Nothing else mattered for me here

^ Ah, of course! But, I thought there was a rule where you could you only give a max of two packages to someone? Guess I imagined it!

I have updated the statpack use file with the developments sent in since yesterday: https://www.mediafire.com/download/gki...s_Use.xlsx
For teams that had them sent in already earlier it is no difference.

Pretty sure there was no such rule. Only maximum amount of money that can be spent on stat packs depending on average and training focus / specialisation iirc

Bikex said>
I forgot to mention: Only a max of three stat packs from research can be spent on one rider, of which only two can be the same kind.

So, theoretically only 2 hill packs can be used on Geyer....

Sorry again but was it updated with mine as well? Because riders like Zilioli and Wackermann don't have the stats they're supposed to have.

The db on the first page itself is not updated but the numbers behind the stats are, so just asign your packages and for the specific rider the stats should get updated in the file.

So that change came after I submitted my research
@Bikex: Can we make an exception in this one case due to the small amount of points involved or do I have to change my whole research sheet ?

I feel like a spectator in the Colosseum, judging matt's and knockout's pleas for mercy and waiting for our emperor to decide

@knockout

Just see this.

It was submitted in a response for you .....

Hey! It really wasn't entirely my fault about the development sheet :/

It occurs if you decide to sort your riders in the DB sheet

That's why i gave you the thumb up

I looked for that quote after your first reply and it was after i submitted my research so i did not bother to look at further "explaining posts" so my question to Bikex was if i have to redo my research file now because that hill upgrade was the only reason why i even spent something on stat packs (and i was more confident if i splitted it in 3 parts to get it) and that rule was not there when i spend that money

Sorry for trying to explain....It looked that you havent know that rule, i tried to help....

Hi everyone! Bikex sent me a message not too long ago that the signups for ICL 17 were coming up. Seems like I've missed basically a whole season's worth of action in the game

I'd also like to apologise for my absence in the game (and on the site as a whole) because I'd always intended to be an active manager and obviously haven't been active at all for a few months now.

Anyway, I'm going to try and catch up as quickly as possible with the year's results and if there are no objections, I'd quite like to keep my team (TVM) in the running and sign up for another year. Looking forward to seeing how things have/haven't changed since last season and hope to talk to you all soon!

Nice that you're back OZrocker. Now hoping that some more will return from their hibernation.

@knockout: Check your PMs
You can combine your tow 10 packages and I'll recalculate. The result will still most likely be enough to get Geyer to 75 HI.

The thing I like about IPL is the chance for PT teams to mix it up in non WT races often with leaders. It adds extra dimension to ICL that is missing in MG - understand the reasons in MG but ICL has a different feel also with U23 division too.

As long as PCT managers have expectation that C2 is their category and C1 is there chance to roll the dice for jackpot.

I am not too bothered about different rankings really, though it does seem like an interesting direction to create 'sprinters World cup, cobblers world cup, Chrono world cup' etc. Ian Butlers Cyclo cross has this multi rankings and it is small and I thin it works quite nicely.

I wouldn't want to seperate the different classics tho. Sprinters, Chrono.. it's just micro rankings that have little value imo. What would be very interesting tho, is a classic series in general like the old UCI World Cup. We have plenty of classics in the game on WT level now, there could easily be a World Cup ranking too for the best classic specialist.

Certainlyi it'd mean mostly auto-win for Sagan for now but maybe we'll get some proper all-around classic specialist this way.

EDIT World Cup can not only be limited to WT classics but also to CT1 classics imo!
