No sign of any other team up, so go for it.
Anybody else wants to team up with Jaxika, and I'll crunch the numbers on space for a 13th team.

Dont worry. Ill withdraw my signup, as i see there are managers who wants to work as lone wolf and there are already accomplished duos. I dont want to cause too much headache. Anyway, thanks for the chance and i wish good work for the amateur team managers  |

I'm OK by teaming up with jaxika. I wouldn't feel good about a manager missing out from this, as it's purely for "fun".
So if you want we can make a team jaxika. I have sent races though...
EDIT:
I do however prefer if the manager I'm potentially teaming up with is active on Skype, as I'm not all that much online during tomorrow, so I need to react when I am

Why can't amateur teams enter TT races or Tour of America? |

My guess is that TT and TTT races will be too much of an interference, as it would be pretty easy to sign 8 riders with 73+TT and be rather competitive.
Tour of America I don't know, but I guess it's also a matter of competitiveness, as amateur teams don't have any risk and can then just put a team of suitable riders for that race, while CT teams really have to consider it as 21 racedays could mean a lot to their leaders.

I think it's due to the fact that even though it's C1 race, it counts as if it's HC race.

Well, knockout told me he isn't really available, but could team up if there's space.
As it stands, there are other PCT managers who are available, that would be better team ups for you, given the amount of solo PT managers.
Would have been cool to have a team and believe it would have worked out well with a team up but if your decision to rather give it to someone whose availability fits better thats totally fine to me as well.
Well the idea was to prioritise those who expressed interest straight away, and who hadn't already told me "wouldnt mind missing out much anyway", but if you've changed your mind fair enough
And if no team-up materialises between anyone else on the original list, then absolutely.
"Would be cool to have a team" and "wouldn't mind missing out much" are not two different positions

Makes sense thanks.
We were hoping to ride Tour of America. |

Brought to you by the man who sold his sponsors on the idea that Yannick Stoltz was a lock for the Tour de France GC victory!  
More seriously (only slightly):
I'm hoping Jandal will manage to convince you that your Amateur team should focus on the African region - lots of handy guys who deserve a professional career still swimming in that pond. Let's all work together on tidying up those annoying hanging XP guys in the DB! .

Alright let me rephrase it: id prefer to have a team but not getting one wouldnt be a big deal either.

And for TT races, there's no benefit to having more teams in a race with the AI.

In PCM18 smaller bunches are handled pretty well anyway, especially due to the positioning being less decisive... |
