We have already reached the limit of 7 Development Teams slots available for 2026 season. The four managers who expressed interest but won't get in this time will receive preference for 2027 Development Teams, if they wish to sign up again.
Development Teams sign-ups are now closed.
More instructions will follow in this thread regarding the draft order and draft lists.
Please also read the Transfer Rules and Dev Teams section of the Transfer Sheets thread for further details.

Development Teams
Development teams are newly introduced for the 2026 ManGame season.
5. Each team (both managers deciding together) have to submit a draft list before the end of transfers which should be long enough to cover eight riders in the draft. If your draft list is not long enough, you will miss out on your picks in the respective rounds and will have to fill up the team at the end after all other teams have finished their picks.
6. The draft itself works in a serpentine way from A-Z, Z-A, for each of the eight rounds (so it is A-Z, Z-A, A-Z, Z-A, A-Z, Z-A, A-Z, Z-A).
And should just one big list be submitted, or can there be a list per round, as for the CT draft? It might not make sense for a team to get 5 sprinters, but you probably need to have more than 1 name on the list to make sure you get one...
You can send a single list or a different list per round.

Dev teams can also create HQs if desired. It is optional.

For managers who get dev teams, you can decide after the draft about your preferred rider (can be none of them).
Preferred rider details will need to be entered into the updated Transfer Sheet for this season. Having a team or a rider (or both) costs 25k in total in any of the scenarios below:
Cost of only having dev team without selecting a preferred rider = 25k
Cost of only having preferred rider, without dev team = 25k
Cost of having a dev team and selecting a preferred rider = 25k
Team Trululu is working on their lists - can we get some clarification about the preferred rider section of the transfer list for folks who have a team? Doesn't apply correct and we decided preferred riders post draft?
Are draft lists being sent to ManGame Admin?

Additional question - when will we know how many picks webactually get? If I understand correctly, this will only be clear after all managers have submitted their transfer sheets and reserved riders have been distributed?

You have to enter the preferred rider post the draft if you have a dev team. Each mamager of a team can enter a different rider in their sheet. It will not cost you anything extra on top of the 25k needed for the dev team.
Draft lists to be sent to Mangame Admin.
Managers without dev teams will be requested to send in their preferred rider choices on the day of transfers closing. Announcement pending. Rider allotments and free slots will be announced before the dev team draft starts.

Important Information for Development Teams and Preferred Riders
Managers who do not have Development teams but wish to sign a Preferred Rider:
- Either submit transfer sheets with a prioritsed list of three Preferred Rider options in the space provided by Thursday EOD in the new location shared in the Transfer Sheets thread or send a PM to ManGame-Admin with your three choices for the Preferred Rider, in order of priority. If we don't receive your choices by Thursday EOD, we will consider that you do not want a Preferred Rider.
- Remember to also enter the rider details and 25k cost in the transfer sheet!
- In case you have agreed with a Development Team to take your Preferred Rider for the season, please also let us know in the PM.
Managers who have a Development Team:
- Send a priority list of riders for the Development Team draft before the deadline. You can send one long list or separate lists per round. Conditional lists are not allowed.
- Enter 25k cost in transfer sheet along with Preferred Rider list of priorities. The latter can be entered after the draft.
Managers who do have a Development Team and do not wish to sign a Preferred Rider:
- Chill! (for this part)

So to be clear: I have no dev team, but can pay 25k to have 3 level 1 riders of my wish to be signed to a dev team in order to get them developed?
So I can assign AUT riders to dev teams so that I can sign them later on as level 2 or level 3 riders for my main team once I have the roster space and money?

you pay 25k to have *one* rider to be signed to a dev team to get them developed. You can send in a list of three riders of which the highest available one gets assigned to you when it is your time (after the draft etc)

Just a note, you can send a longer list for the preferred riders as it will be after the CT draft.
