The main racing of the current 2015 season has now ended, with only Worlds and Nationals remaining. Time then to open applications for the new season.
What is the Management Game? Well, take a look at the FAQ.
https://www.pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthr...d_id=32087
In short, during the off-season you will decide on a sponsor/nationality for your team, create team goals, select your race calendar - and most importantly, buy riders for your team in the frenzied fun that is the transfer season. Then it is a case of deciding the race schedule for each rider in your team, and then following the season as it unfolds - commenting in race discussion threads, keeping up to date a Team HQ thread, and maybe even helping with the Race Reporting itself! I can't stress enough how important it is to be active in the race discussion threads. Something a number of new managers failed to do this season.
We are looking for new members to join, starting in the Continental division, who can be an active part of the game throughout the season. There's no fixed number of new managers that we will take, but usually there is more interest than we do have space for, so there are a couple of questions for you to answer - in order to help us decide who to pick:
1. What can you contribute towards the Management Game, in terms of activity and other aspects?
2. If selected, how do you intend to manage your team?
Please have a good think about these questions before applying, and then PM your answers to me. After sending your PM, reply to this thread to say that you have applied.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Good luck!

Have been looking forward to this thread all season to say yes I am very interested to join for next season and I will have the time to properly commit to being active if I am lucky enough to be selected.

Both of those questions can be answered with more/better than last time
Seriously tho, applying again in search of second chance. Have been waiting a while for this with low expectations, best of luck my fellow applicants

PCM 15 will be used for this season. But you don't need to have it, unless you are reporting

Well I gave it a try, in the first place hoping to learn something for the PCMFocus MG (Where I have to do all the shit alone). In the second place trying to manage a nice team and enjoy this game. |

I'm guessing it will be open for about 2 weeks, just the time for the National Championships and Worlds to be raced.

It does change slightly from year to year but I guess it will at least be similar to last season when it opened on the 9th of march and ended on the 22nd of march.
Good luck to everyone applying, I look forward to racing against the special chosen few in CT next season.
