Mmm yes get people who don't use dividers i.e. ryant kicked out of transfers sounds good

Maybe saying this as an Aussie who has lived in Europe and seen all styles, are the different dividers really that confusing? 50000, 50.000 and 50,000 all are pretty similar, especially because it’s obvious that there’s no decimal point.

Nearest hundred would be okay to me. I think it would be another pointless rule but 50,001 and 50,100 dont make much difference. But please don't make it nearest thousand as LLS suggests. Also a rest of ,500 is sth which can happen very naturally if you've done done a 50/50 wage split of e.g. a 55k wage loan rider so that should definitely be possible.

Exactly. Rounding to the thousand would not work.
But then, probably are cases of ,250 in loan split scenarios. So may end up just not worth doing anything at all!

I don't see the point really. Yes it is annoying, but it's tactics guys. I don't think it's a good one, as pissing off people is usually a very bad tactic, but if you win a rider or 2 from others making mistakes, then it worked.
Or if you keep people from bidding because you "confuse" them or make them bid higher, it has worked.
IMO if you bid 99.520 on a rider there is every reason for the next bidder to NOT bid 110.000 but instead bid 125.000. That would show intent instead of the opposite, and would pay back on the tatics...
Anyway, it should be open for different play types imo. No need to make rules just because people dislikes a certain way of doing things.
Also I don't think punctuation is needed per se, but I would recommend it, as it reduces the risk of making a mistake that counts against yourself. Whether it is , or . doesn't interest me. I know what value the manager offer is.

People should talk more here.
So far I mainly followed my own interested riders. Having to get a look for other riders, e.g. only realized now Boasson Hagen is in PT again for CrueTrue. Well done. |

Good to have Boasson Hagen back where he really belongs! If we get to see the 2017 version of him, CrueTrue should be able to challenge for way more than the usual fight to avoid relegation for promoted teams. Will be very exciting to see what he can do in the PT again, after a rather disappointing showing back in 2016, which kind of hurt |

Getting Wirtgen was always going to be the main target, and so quite a relief to have that sorted.
And with Afewerki as well, I've brought in my favourite Eritel rider. Would be nice if I could make it more than one Eritel, and there's still some out there - but it's also interesting to see them spread out, with Hadi off to Puma, Kudus again in a bidding war, Hamza to Reddit.

Eritel indeed had lots of interesting riders. Some with nice combinations as well.
Some could have suited my team a lot but didn`t want to go off from Benelux+Neighbours too much.
Should be fun riders though now they are spread throughout all divisions I guess. |
