Sorry sometimes it's difficult to get myself motivated. I'll try to set up everything for transfers, so that we can start with them in mid April. Would that work for everyone?

This making me check to see if Siskevicius' was changed was a gutpunching way to remind me I let my man go in renewals... Sad

Signups are still open btw. Smile

Transfer sheet is ready so we'll start very soon.

Awesome Smile

Thanks for the new db and the fixed regen ages. Sprinters still have the same RDs as other riders, though.

As Bikex said, signups are still open. And I have an especially tempting offer, Pedal Africa lost its manager and has become the second unmanaged team. And it's a really good team, I'd love to see a new manager take over.

Download Transfer Sheet: https://www.mediafire.com/file/qwq565....xlsx/file

The transfer sheet will help you to keep track of transfers in general and your actions on the market.

Transfer Mechanics

Unlike in earlier seasons the transfer market is now continously open, you are able to perform any transfer actions at any time. At the end of each round (exact time still to be announced) an update is posted with information on negotiations with free agents and trades between teams.

1. Free Agents
You can send in bids on still available Free Agents at any time of the transfer season. Bids include a minimum value that you want to offer the rider but also a maximum that determines the most you'd like to offer him.

Once having received bids a Free Agent will publicly announce what the leading offer is and after which round he is going to accept the leading offer.
The leading offer is the one by the team that made the highest maximum bid. The value of it is the second highest maximum bid +5. If two teams bid the same max amount, it will be randomly decided where the riders signs. Then at the moment of the transfer update, you do not know whether you are in the lead, as the updates are anonymous.
The round the rider will accept a bid is determined by a decreasing minimum the rider will accept on each round (also given in the transfer sheet), but will be at least one round after the update. So e.g. if the rider states his leading bid after initial round 0, he'll sign the earliest sign after round 1 is completed. Until then other teams are free to offer larger(!) bids to the rider.
If the leading team changes, the rider will not sign and make a new update at the end of the round stating the new leading bid. If the team with the leading bid does not change (even if the bid is increased), the rider will sign for that team at the end of the round. If a rider was stating that he would sign a contract at the end of the current round for the third round in a row, he will sign for the highest bid at the end of the round regardless.

There are two ways to make bids on free agents:
1. Bid on a single free agent
2. Send in a ranked list of free agents (a.k. signing directives) of which the first possible option will be bid on. These lists are limited to a size of 5 to prevent them being abused.
Bids can always include a maximum regardless of whether option 1 or 2 was used.

2. Trades
Trade Deals between different teams will be posted in a seperate thread. Trades will be made possible as soon as this thread is opened.
There a two ways to do a transfer deal:
2.1 Deals
Deals can be negotiated between managers in private, one manager posts the deal the other confirms.
2.2 Auctions
A manager can put a rider up for auction with a minimum fee he'd accept. Other managers can post bids on that rider (pure money bids, but also bids including other riders are allowed). The manager having put up the rider can then decide to accept one of the offers.

Transfer Sheet Guide

Start by entering your team ID into C2 in "Start". In case you have forgotten it, you can find it in tab "Teams". You'll get an overview of all important transfer information you need. In case you want to keep something back for Research and Scouting enter it in C6 & C7 (Information: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread...st_1188170 -> #6 & #7)

After the end of a round, an update will be posted including tables which can be copied into your transfer sheet to keep it up to date. The DB in the "DB" tab will be kept up to date according to the tables pasted into "Paste". You have the option to mark riders using the "Note" column.

1. Free Agents Bids
To place bids on Free Agents go to the "FABids" tab. Next to each rider there are some information about them. Column D is automatically updated. You can bid on riders that have an "-" here. In L there is the min wage and in M the minimum the rider would accept on the current round. What value will be here, if it's not the min wage, can be checked in columns R-Z. Information about a possible leading bid and when the rider is going to accept it are stated in columns N and O.
If you want to place a bid on a rider place it into column P (It has to be at least the min wage but can be lower than the value in column M "Today" ). If you want to add a maximum put that into column Q, if not you can leave that empty. When done send in columns C-F of the "FA PM" tab.

2. Signing Directives
The second option to sign free agents is via lists. To compile such a list go to the tab "Signing Directives". Before entering riders start by giving a list a name. This is only needed for the reference in the "FA Overview" tab. Add riders to the list by entering their IDs into the respective column. Bid and potential maximum (can be left empty again) will go into those columns. In the "St" column it will be shown for which rider in the list you are currently making an offer for ("O" ). Also if a rider is already signed by another team or your bid was not enough ("X" ). For lower riders on the list it is also shown if another team has a leading bid on them currently ("-" ).
When done send me columns I-M of the "FA PM" tab. Always send in all of your active signing directives.
I recommend adding maximums for riders in the list, as if there is a tie you might miss out and don't know.

In case of all submissions of tables from the "FA PM" tab I recommend always sending the entire table also including potential older bids. They will be recognized by me and disregarded. You are also allowed to change any offers at any time, except if you are leading non a rider you are not allowed to withdraw an offer.

3. FA Overview
This tab should give you an overview on your actions on the Free Agency market. On the left there is a table with all your Free Agent bids and on the right of the Signing directives and their current status. You can also see here if you lead on a rider with a tie. The displayed budget already includes all the bids that you are leading in. The Min value gives the worst case scenario in case you need to pay the maximum of all bids you made.
Don't change anything in this table.

Also generally never offer a rider the amount that is already the leading bid on him. Your bid will miss out but the transfer sheet doesn't know that.

4. Transfers
To enter transfers in your transfers sheet go to the "TransferDeals" tab. There is already a Riders Out and Riders In table prepared. You only need to add the riders ID and fee received. In case of a transfer including several riders, add the riders to the specific column and in case a fee is paid you only need to add it to the corresponding side.

To keep your transfer sheet updated follow these instructions:
The transfer update will contain two tables, one for the signed free agents, one for trades.
Go to the paste tab in your Transfer Sheet, post the FA table into B1 and the transfer table into H1. This will update the tabs of your transfer sheet. Bids you placed on riders won't be used in the actual calculations. New updates will also go into these cells, they should overwrite the older ones.

Important Rules

1. After transfers are done you'll need to have signed your minimum amount of riders. Team with an U23 teams will have to have at least 8 eligible riders under contract (AVG <= 72.0 (+ 1 <= 73.0 + 1 <= 73.5); Age <= 23). Be within your budget when transfers have ended.
2. You are not allowed to sell riders you have signed previously in this transfer season. You only are allowed to use them in riders swap, in which you are not gaining any money. Both sides have to provide the reason in a written statement via PM, why they have signed a rider you do not plan on keeping and reserve ourselves the right to also invalidate these kind of deals.
3. Only bid a multiple of five. If you don't your bid will be changed to the next smaller multiple of five.
4. In case you want to sack any riders, you are allowed to fire up to 5 riders. For the first 3 you'll have to pay a fine of 50% of the riders wage, for the next two 75%.

Transfer Schedule

A specific schedule will still be decided. The first rounds will get more time than latter ones. Especially for the first one, I want everyone to have a chance to send something in, so it should be at least a week. Transfers between teams will be possible from round 1 onwards, you are allowed to discuss them already though.

Forever the Best
Huge respect to those who continue with this game. Unfortunately, my interest in cycling massively dwindled in the past year or so ( I barely check this place ), along with my studies it's the best if I follow this from distance when I can/want. Sorry for stopping following the game again last season.

Gracias Alberto.
