Calendar
The full 2017 calendar can now be revealed, with this Excel file listing all races and a month by month calendar list: https://www.dropb....xlsx?dl=0
You can find the race profiles in the 2017 profiles forum
Races should be listed in chronological order, and include details on race clashes and previous race winner. Thanks to the various people who helped to prepare this forum.
If you see mistakes somewhere, just mention them in the thread here.
Goals
Team Goals form a vital part of each team's season. In the short term, how hard goals you pick will determine your final budget - but in the longer term, how well you achieve those goals in the season will have a significant effect on your budget for the following season.
Going for harder goals could reward you greatly if you achieve them, but will punish you if you fail them. Easier goals will be less punishing if you dont achieve them, but they are in turn less rewarding aswell.
For new CT teams, it obviously isnt easy to pick goals without knowing what your team will be - so now is the time to decide which races you want to focus on, and you can then target riders in the transfers season appropriately.
Each type of goal has a cost, and every team must select 5 goals. The total goal cost must be between 14 and 23. There are also certain constraints on what type of goal you can select.
ProTour
All teams must have at least 1 Grand Tour goal
All teams must have at least 1 'Win' Goal - This means winning a classic or Stage Race outright (Including GTs and Monuments)
All teams must have a Team Standings Goal (This includes avoiding relegation)
No more than 1 PTHC goal
No more than 1 goal per race
No more than 1 Points/KoM Goal
ProContinental
Continental
ProContinental and Continental teams have the same goals rules to follow:
All teams must have at least 1 'Win' Goal - This means winning a classic or Stage Race outright
All teams must have at least 1 HC goal (HC/PTHC for PCT, C2HC for CT)
All teams have a Team Standings Goal
No more than 1 goal per race
No more than 1 Points/KoM Goal
And please note: The stage wins goals means stage wins. Overall race victories - be it a stage race or one day race - do not count. Stages wins during PT races for PCT teams do not count either.
PTHC Category
This category is new. The images aren`t. Hence PT teams get the same goal cost for PTHC as for PT stage races and classics. Competition at the top of PT and PCT is rather similar.
Same with PCT teams. They get same goal cost for PTHC as for HC races.
PT teams can have up to 1 PTHC race but don`t need one at all.
PCT teams need at least 1 goal in HC or PTHC category. Can have more.
Race Flexibility
For one of your goals, you can select 2 races (of the same goal cost) rather than 1. For example: "Top 10, Tour de Suisse or Tour of Qatar". At the end of the transfer season, you must then choose which of these two races you want to keep in your goal.
Submitting your Goals
To submit your goals, please use the table format as seen in the spoiler and send it via PM s as seen further below.
Spoiler | Race A | Win/Top X etc. | Cost | | Race B | Win/Top X etc. | Cost | | Race C | Win/Top X etc. | Cost | | Race D | Win/Top X etc. | Cost | | Team Standings | Option | Cost |
ProTour teams: PM them to Tamijo
ProContinental teams: PM them to knockout
Continental teams: PM them to knockout |

Cool, MG hits top gear! Great work by all those behind the scenes, much appreciated.
Small info conflict to raise: Tour of Almaty listed as C2 in race profiles, but C1 in race calendar listings.

Not anymore. 
Almaty is C1.
Normally all mistakes are mistakes of the race profile forum thread title. The calendar is correct I think. |

Thanks for this resource admin team, super helpful!
Quick question on this: do C2 and C1 count towards CT or PCT race days?

All CT teams only have CT race days for rider and team.
All PCT teams only have PCT race days for rider and team.
So it all depends on your division. |

And goals can start.
PT send to Tamijo
PCT/CT to knockout as posted above
Keep in mind that goals might clash with band selection. So better give it good priority or use the flexibility. |

One question, what happens if I select a C1 race as a goal and later I can't race it because the race is full of teams?

This is why CT teams can only pick C2HC and C2 races as goals.
C1 not showing in the CT goal picture. |

If I remember correctly, in previous years after transfers we were able to change one goal (with the same weight). Is that going to be available this year as well?
Edit: Nevermind

So how do I pick a PTHC race goal not knowing if I'll get to race it?

The same way PCT teams pick HC goals - making sure you pick one in a band that will top your priority list. |

Yes of course, but being what if I don't get it. Can I then pick another or is it just lost?

It is lost, if I remember correctly. However, you could put it down as an OR goal to safeguard against that. Pretty sure most people will get their first choice though, has always tended to be that way with HC in the past. |

Weren't the teams with lower rankings in the previous season favored when picking the HC races in previous seasons? Maybe that's why you never got your 1st pick.

He has an awful lot to complain about for winning this thing with a Ponzi-sized lead last season.
