To join, you will need to post the following,
Team Name:
Title Sponsors:
Nationality:
The theory at the moment is that the first 18 will get WT status, and the rest CT status. You could specifically ask for CT status if you so chose

Taken as a way to include Welwyns National World Tour, which i think is a great idea. Its also like the Man-Game Div2. When posting you sponsors, their nationality, and the general Nationality of the team will dictate who many riders in your team must be from those areas. This will work in a percentage.
The Main Sponsor will mean x% of the team must be from that Nation/Region.
Second Sponsor y% of team, and Nationality z% of team. x>y>z. The numbers at the moment are x=25%, y=15%, z=10%. So x+y+z=50% of the team (12-15riders ish). This will be a minimum value that must be met. Every 5or10% over this earns bonuses. These bonuses are not decided yet, but could be more money, more chance of a successful wildcard, easier renewals etc.
There will be bigger bonuses for selecting regions over nations. So instead of Spain, you could choose Basque. The bonuses would be larger, but it would be harder. For nations without in-game regions, the bonuses will be midway between.

To get riders into teams there will be a Draft.
Each round managers send in a list of riders they would like.
The WT will get a 3-4 round head start, after which the CT teams join in. This is to make some separation in team quality between WT and CT, but not a vast gap.
The First Round order will be selected using a random number generator. After that it will follow a serpentine system, to keep things fair. When the CT teams join in, they will choose first in that round (in a randomly generated order), then the serpentine will resume from there.
In the Offseason, instead of transfers there will be another Draft. This will be like a draft in the NFL. All the out of contract riders will be available to draft. The lowest ranked team of the season will get first pick, and the highest ranked team last pick.

Of course all WT teams will do all WT races. This means there will be 4 spaces for wildcards at each WT race. CT teams will apply for WT wildcards. This will cost some money. The best 4 applicants will be selected by me, and allowed to race that event.
The determining factors will be Nationality, Rider Quality and previous results amongst a few others.

This is the PCMCL incorporation.
Anyone can create a Custom Rider, to add to the DB. Their age will dictate what stats they can have. The stat rules are as yet undecided.
Like the PCMCL, these riders will comment and short report in (hopefully) team HQ's. The better the quality of these the more "points" the rider will earn. These "points" will then be spent on stat increases.
A similar system will work for Managers. Their comments etc will also earn them "team points". These "team points" will be spent on non-custom riders.
As such, custom riders will earn more points-per-rider, and in theory will develop faster than real riders.
There will be a limit on growth, but that is as yet undecided

All WT teams must race all WT events.
As stated above there will be4 wildcards available for all WT events. CT teams apply for these. I select the 4 best candidates.
There will be a large selection of CT races. Each team gets sent a selection of races. They can then swap these races for any other races, as long as the total Race Day Value remains the same.
The WT teams will get a small selection of CT races. Again they can swap these to the same rules.
These calendars will be related to Sponsor and team nationalities, and team orientations.

Each race and stage earns points.
WT and CT have separate rankings. There maybe an Individuals rankings as well.
These rankings will have impacts on contract renewals, draft picks, money, division etc.

The Top15 ranked WT teams will automatically have a WT spot for next season.
Then theTop5 CT teams will be weighed against the Botom5 WT teams. This will include results, riders, quality of HQ's and other things.
So we could have 5 teams going up and down! There will be a minimum of 2 teams moving up and down each season.

Every team will start with a value, this will be greater for WT teams. Teams will earn more with results, rankings and nationalism.
Money will be used as part of renewals system. Wildcards also costs money.
In the Offesason money can be used to buy other teams draft picks (ie. you could pay to pick first). There maybe other uses, but not thought of as yet.

You can use custom jerseys, BUT dont spam the established makers.
Hopefully a couple of players will be willing to make the jerseys needed for the game. They will only have to be basic designs with very few sponsors.
If sponsor already has a jersey in the game, that will be used until all non-game sponsors have a jersey made.

Has been mentioned a lot and not explained.
During the first draft the order in which riders are drafted will decide their contract length.
Rounds 1,4,7,10,13 etc will have 1 year Contracts
Rounds 2,5,8,11,14 etc will have 2 year Contracts
Rounds 3,6,9,12,15 etc will have 3 year Contracts.
At the end of the season there will be the opportunity to renew some of the contracts. A new contract will depend on team and rider nationality, results, rankings, money. New Contracts will always be 3 years. You can opt out of renewing certain contracts, this will mean other contracts become easier to achieve.
