Renewals season starts today! The deadline is July 6th.
If this is your first time, find some information below.
Some very important rules to keep in mind:
1) If you want to start renewals, first of all make it clear in this thread that you're ready.
2) You must post in the continuation thread before starting renewals.
3) If you want to wait with renewals, until you have received your team budget from deciding goals, then this is fine. Also, if you want to see the full calendar, then waiting is fine. As mentioned above, there will still be a strict deadline of July 6th.
4) Renewals MUSTN`Tbe discussed anywhere, until after all teams has finished. We will let you know when it is okay to post.
5) You can do transfers via the dropbox system as usual, or via Discord for a quicker response. kandesbunzler26 and Nemolito will be doing the renewals this season. The latter will not be available from June 3rd-14th. When saying you're ready in this thread, please specify how you want to do your renewals (Dropbox/Discord).
6) For PCT teams, keep in mind that as of next season, 12 C2 race days will continue to be mandatory!
Included:
- 2026 Teams (still 2025 Names)
- Stat Gains

- New OVL value (after stat gains)

- Known disbands
Still missing:
- 2025 Team Update (Names and Divisions)

If you think there is a mistake with one of your riders or someone else's regarding age, stat increase/decrease, OVL please let us know. Obviously this also goes in case a rider got too much increase or no decrease, please be fair and mention it as it might be noticed at some point anyway.
General Renewals Information
For each of your riders you will receive a wage request, and you have three opportunities to offer them a wage which they are happy with. Riders can usually be negotiated with on their requested wage, although the difference between their minimum acceptable wage and their request does vary quite a lot from rider to rider.
As soon as you offer a rider an amount they are happy with, they will accept - this is committed to being their wage for the 2026 season. You cannot attempt to offer them a lower wage once they have accepted. There are 3 Rounds for renewals, and if a rider has not accepted your offers after 3 rounds then he will became a free agent.
If you want to release a rider, give them an offer of 0 in the first round.
The minimum wage is 50,000. If you are initially unsure whether you want to release or renew a rider, you should offer them a value above 0 and less than 50,000 in the first round to keep your options open for the following round.
If a rider feels your initial offer is far too low, they will be insulted by your offer and will no longer be willing to negotiate. There are two options at this stage: either pay them exactly what they have requested, or release them to the free agency.
It is possible to go over your salary cap at the end of Renewals, but doing so will lead to a fine of double that amount. For example, if you go over your salary cap by 100k then you will receive a fine of 200k.
There is no limit on the amount of riders you renew - it does not have to meet the same minimum/maximum requirements that are needed for the end of the Transfer season itself.
Whenever you have finished a round of renewals, upload the file to Dropbox/Discord again, only changing the R1 to R2 or R2 to R3 or R3 to DONE and send a PM to Nemolito or kandesbunzler26. Please don`t change the name of the file different to this as it makes it harder for us.Edited by AbhishekLFC on 25-05-2026 10:06
