Thank you Fabianski for such prompt rankings alongside the final races. It has been a pleasure to experience them throughout the year and for your hard work with them.
The SEE Turtles 2024 campaign ended remarkably similar to the 2023 season - with a points difference of only 9 (if we remember correctly). Vastly different season planning and structuring, but still proud to have found some success given the risks we took this year. Hamza should be very proud of his final point tally as well, leading the team for his second season.
Lots more to be found in a season review later this month, but congratulations to Newton most be said now and to all those finding success this year.

Thanks for the rankings Fab - couldn't bear having to work out the standings myself given how close they are.
Congrats to Newton for an absolute shark season, I think all the remaining (and new) CT managers will sleep a bit easier knowing Jorgensen won't be hoarding all the C2 stage races next season.
Congrats also to the other promoted teams, there's been some real good battles throughout the season and I think you have some strong foundations to build on. I'll be particularly interested to see how our fellow newcomers in Duvel and our African friends at Simba do.
From our perspective, we managed to recover from a terrible September to achieve the goal of a top 10 finish by the skin of our teeth. A few flaps of the butterfly's wings and we could've finished 14th and left wondering where it all went wrong, but at the end of the day, the final rankings are what count and achieving our goal gives us a good platform to build on.
Excited to see what the new season holds and I'm sure I'll be in touch with a lot of you come transfer period

Congrats to Newton on the title and to our friends at Trans Looney Tunes for a bounce back season. Congrats also to the other automatic promoted teams and anyone else that finds their way into PCT

First thanks to Fabi for this very quick Ranking!
COngrats to Newton to winning CT and a fabulous year. Also to everyone who will promote and if we are not completely wrong this will include our Team also. When we look back ath our first half abnd all the points we wanted to grab there, and the harsh reality, i didnt think it was possible anymore. But we had a decent run at the end of the year to secure us one of the spots to promote because of Disbands. Even almost caught the “real promotion spots”. Great effort of my team at the end, I am proud.

First of all, I'd like to congratulate Newton Foundation p/b Zwift for the CT title - they were in a league on their own this season and TBF there was no one who could've opposed them. Hopefully they can climb back up to PT too. And the CT managers will have a sigh of relief that Jorgenson will no longer maul the competition.
I would like to also congratulate the remaining teams for their Top 5 finish, which has guaranteed them a PCT promotion, no questions asked. Congrats especially to Booker for his promotion on his return to the MGUCI family - it's great to see returning managers giving it another go.
Congrats to Ezeefreak for chosing to continue after he almost scared us with his 'announcement' few months ago. And IMO his decision to stay was the right call as his team finished 6th overall and a potential disband promotion is on the horizon.
Commiserations to Spark - it was devastating for them to see Beltran falter when they needed him the most. And with Manada finishing 20th (and confirmed just recently to be disbanded), that was not the season end the New Zealand team was hoping for. Next year hopefully Jakstar22 can rebound from this setback and try again to go for promotion.
As for me - it was a decent season and will most likely be promoted (though it's not confirmed until the MGUCI say so), but I'd have preferred to be promoted via Top 5 finish and leave all the uncertainties behind, but such is life. I hope this time will learn from my mistakes suring my last two botched attempts in PCT.
Thanks Fabianski for the final ranking updates for the 2024 season.

Ouch, harsh end of the season for us, and a change of strategy will have to come for next seasons. Still, it was fun to follow. Thanks a lot to all of those who made it possible, and congrats to everyone to coming through. No Jorgenson, but we said the same with no Chiarello last season 
Thanks to Fabianski for the ranking updates. It's been a joy to read every month.

Poor month, but who cares. We're going up baby (and met a sponsor objective)
10+ PpRD over the entire season is as good as we could have hoped for. It's also fun to see how the entire team has performed - no high-scorer like Jorgensen (or Korosec - what a season by him too). In fact, not even a guy in the top 10 in the individual standings from our team, but lots of decent performances throughout the season.
We ended up closer to Gjensidige (122 points) in 2nd than Duvel-Tsingtao (231 points) in 6th, which is way better than expected.
Thanks for a great season, everyone. CT is a fun division, and I won't be sad if we go down again next season.
Rapid update was lovely for the final rankings, thanks for that Fab! And big thank you for all the other comprehensive updates as well
Lastly, a big thank you to all the reporters. Without you guys we wouldn't have this wonderful game.

We're going to miss our African brothers as well! See you in PCT (or CT  ) again soon

Some very active managers promoting, nice to see them get a reward. For others it wasn't meant to be yet, hope they can get that deserved promotion next season.
Happy that stuff worked out for Würth after a very disastrous Zepuntke year in general, should have scored so much more. And congratulations to Duvel on the instant promotion! There's only one correct way to celebrate tonight!

Well done and congrats to all the promotees! a good mix of old and new faces going up
For Glanbia, kind of as expected. I targeted 1,200 points as realistic and it would have put us right in the mix but unfortunately we fell short for a number of reasons. The biggest mistake, my "original sin", was a screw up by me at the start of the season where I miscalculated my budget, This meant extra training for O'Loughlin couldn't be done. That in turn had a big knock on effect in terms of points and goals!
Some riders like Kennett and Boswell did their job but Main and O'Loughlin didn't contribute enough.
Anyway well done again! and thanks to Fabianski fir the brilliant updates

Just kind of disappointed and not really sure what to say right now  might have to take a minute to think and come back later and comment.
I’ll just say congrats to all the promoters and cheers fabianski for the excellent update as usual!

Lovely to see the final confirmation, congrats to MRE, hillis, Tinxia, Caspi and (presumably) Ivan and Ezee for promotion. And commiserations to all those missing out, I'm sure many of you will have some quality ideas on how to build again.
Duvel-Tsingtao started out very hot, and tailed off throughout the season, hanging on by a slender margin of only 15pts to get the top 5 team goal and pay back some of the faith shown in the predictions/previews. I have to say it was really manager error in some cases that led to suboptimal planning, notably Herald Sun Tour where we didn't send a single TTish of note, but many other examples of poor use of race days.
To be honest, we also went with some roleplaying in the free agent draft post-transfers, which could have used some proper depth riders instead, but thankfully we held on after securing some great CT leaders and solid depth riders in the transfer window.
Overall, lots to learn but thankful that we managed to promote to PCT, looking forward to my second attempt building a roster that can stay up. Last time we managed to stay in PCT for 2 seasons, before I dropped off the face of the earth. I'm sure as managers have gotten even wiser, I will have a more difficult time finding such a prolific point scorer as we had in the first attempt, with Jerome Baugnies blitzing almost every cobble race.
Cheers for the congrats, from all of you and in other threads, and thanks so much to all the reporters, previewers, admins and other managers (especially Fab for the updates). Onwards to next season!
