Welcome to the 2018 PCM Daily Velogames Championship
Following the relative success of last years competition, it will be returning again this year in pretty much the exact same format as last year.
The format is simple. Simply enter the PCMDaily leagues set up for each of the games throughout the year (https://www.velogames.com). At the end of each game the top 25 teams will be awarded points from 25 to 1. Double points will be awarded for the 4 larger games of the year (Spring Classics, Giro, Tour, Vuelta). Any minigames, such as the Tour de France's "King of the Mountains" competiotion, will also count towards the overall totals. At the end of the year the member with the greatest number of points will be crowned the PCMDaily Velogames Champion 2016.
Only a few rules to note:
-Please ensure you use the same user name for each game. If you use different usernames then points will be allocated to that name only. I don't have time to reconcile different usernames to the same individual. I will be more strict with this rule this year. Please ensure you use the same user name throughout the competition if you wish for all of your points to be allocated to the correct person. If you make a slight spelling mistake then I am happy to review this, however usernames which are completely different will not be amended and your points will be split between the different usernames. You are free to change the name of your team as much as you want.
-Please note I do not take responsibility for setting up PCMDaily leagues for the various races. We are usually quite good at setting up leagues and I will try to ensure that the leagues are advertised in this thread so you know which leagues to enter. Hopefully once people become aware of this competition/thread they will automatically start putting the details of the league into this thread.
-If I become aware of more then 1 league for a race I will advise which one will be used to score points in this thread.
-You don't need to enter every game throughout the year. Obviously you will simply not earn any points for races you do not enter.
-Multiple Teams - I noticed that some players entered multiple teams in competitions last year. You may enter as many teams as you wish providing you use a different username for each team. Points will be allocated to each of your teams based upon their user name as per the normal rules. If however you use the same username for multiple teams you will not score any points for any of your teams.
- Bonus points will be allocated to players finishing in the top 100 of the overall Velogames league as follows (Double bonus points for the big 4 games):
Overall Winner = 25
Top 5 = 20
Top 10 = 15
Top 50 = 10
Top 100 = 5
I will try to provide an updated league table after each game but this will be very much dependant on free time at my end.
I think that's about it. Let me know if you have any questions.
Good Luck

Hi all
With the TDU due to begin in a couple of weeks I thought now would be a good time to open up our 2018 PCM Velogames Championship thread to get any potential issues ironed out before the season starts.
Rules are the same as last year. Please have a quick read through the opening post and let me know if you have any questions. I'll be updating the opening post throughout the season as usual with updates on the scores. Last year's top 25 is currently being shown for reference.
I'll be trying to advertise the competition a bit more openly this year to try to get more players involved, mainly as an attempt to get someone to finally beat Ian Russell  .
Anyway, this thread will be the place to go for all discussions Velogames related throughout the coming year. Hopefully there will be some good chat as usual.
Anyway, good luck.

Don't think I've had a good velogames since 2014 Dauphine to be honest.

Still have never won a PCM Daily velogames league despite over 40 attempts, but am proud of that 9th place overall from 2017. I'll be trying again this year.

I have only done well in this game maybe two or three times, but nevertheless I'm participating just for the fun of it, and because every competition needs a last place. |

How nice this is back. Thanks mate for setting it up once more.
Lets see if anyone can topple the impossible Ian Russell from his throne.
I try hard not to mess up my Username and teamname which made it a bit troublesome for you last year Ringo.
Got a bit of honour to defend with 3 ind race victories over the last 2 years. Better not miss vital "extras" this time, like the KOM in TDF.
Every point will be needed to finish as high as last year I guess, and I better not get into a slump at the end of the season as then.
Do remind me not to questioning any addition of womens races. After all I did win one of them knowing next to nothing about them.
Luck Favors the Brave, or something similar
Best of luck to you all mates

Reminder as well to ensure you get your name and team name the right way round. I note Alexkr00 seems to have them the wrong way round at the moment.
As advised, if you use different names for each race your points will be scored against that particular name only. You can change the name of your team as much as you want, it's the players name that needs to be constant.
Cheers.
