International Cycling League
After I failed to finalise the XXX Database I have thought for some time about making my own little community game with all the riders added. If you want to take part, go ahead this won't require much work of you. I think the timing to start this is perfect, as TMM's simulation game came to a hold and this will require a similar amount of work.
I hope I can get some of you interested. This won't start right away and only if some would want to take part. So this post is for the moment just to see if there is interest.
The Database
The database used for this is the one orignially made for the XXX DB, so the Daily DB and more than 700 riders that were added last year. Also some stats have been changed.
The Racing
I will 3D race all the races but won't post a report, just a picture of the winner and the results. I think the results of 3D racing are better that's why I won't simulate. I hope to get like this the seasons done very fast in contrast to more detailed community games.
Your Teams
You will found your own teams and in a short and simple transfer season you will contract riders and fill your squad. The teams will be divided into World Tour and Continental Tour teams. It is preferred that your team will have a jersey for the winning pictures. You can look up for one in the shirt database or in graphic threads of shirt makers. In the database there are 127 represented. You can only pick from them for your team nationality, so if you have a too exotic team planned ask first if the nation is available. At least three riders of the picked nation will have to be in the team.
Development Teams
WT squads and possibly some CT teams will have the chance to make development teams that will take part in the continental races and in some races just for development teams, they will get there own ranking there. Not any rider will be eligible to Development Teams, more to come. The nationality of the Development team doesn't have to be the one of your main team, but at least two riders of that nationality will have to be in your main team and at least three in the development team.
The Calendar
The calendar will be mainly choosed by you. There will be a WT, a CT and a U25 (for development teams) calendar. Only the monuments and the grand tours are fixed for the WT calendar. When the time comes you can suggest any races out of the stage database, stage makers threads or out of the real calendar. In a voting the final calendar will be decided. Like that I hope to get your teams nation focuses also in the racing schedules.
The Rankings
There will be three different rankings: WorldTour, ContinentalTour, U25Tour. Also a ranking out of all rankings combined will be made, the Prestige Ranking (PR Ranking). The WT ranking will decide on which team will relegate to CT. The best CT teams in the PR Ranking will move up. In the unlikely case that a development squad is among them, the spot will go to the next CT squad. How much points a rider will get for a certain positioning will be published before the season starts.
Riders Development
At the end of the season each rider will be have a certain number of points assigned. How much depends on their age, their current average, their number of race days and their PR ranking points. The manager of the rider can then assign a training plan out of a list deciding in which ratio the points will be added to the different stats.
Race Planning
You will have to choose in which races you want to take part. WT teams will naturally have to take part in any WT race, but also can apply for a certain number of CT races. CT teams can also apply for WT wildcards. Once each team is completed, I will make race planners available, in which you fill the season of your rider. Race clashes will be considered, but you will see in the file which races clash. Like in the mangame riders will have depending on their stats a different number of max race days and one day races will cost you two race days.
Transfers
The transfer season will contain of three rounds of Free Agents buying. For that I will post a Excel spreadsheet containing a list of available Free Agents and their stats. You just put a number next to them, depending on what you are ready to pay for them. The highest bider will get the rider and will have to pay the wage offered. Transfers between teams will be made like an auction, I'll open a thread for that in the story games section.
Talents
Somewhere when coming to the end of the season I will post an excel file with regens, but their stats and potential will be displayed very imprecise. You then can spend money to scout a certain rider, making the information more precise.
Research
If you have some money over you can spend it in research. You can make research on training methods for three different stats. The success of the research will be random. Depending on how successful it is you will be able to improve the stats for some of your riders.
Budget
For the first season every WT team will have the same budget and every CT team will have the same budget. WT teams with development squads will have an united budget. Every manager can then decide how to spend the budget. You can decide how big the portion is you will spend for scouting and what part you will use for transfers and research.
National Teams
In some CT races that wouldn't have a big number of teams taking part, some national teams consisting of free agents can be put on the start list.
NCs/WCs
I will 3D simulate the NCs for the most important countries. For all the other countries I will use an algorithm to determine the national champions.
Even though this could all sound a little bit complicated and time consuming, it really isn't. Almost everything will be done via prepared excel sheets I'll give you and if you are occasionally too busy, I will happily help you.
If you are interested and want to take part, fill this form out:

So, this basically is not time-consuming at all, for us? Just bidding and planning? (And some minor things like research ofc)
Mmm, sounds interesting then, though I assume the XXX DB is a bit outdated now? Anyway, at least it gets used for something now

Not time consuming!
I felt it was a shame to have all the work done for the xxx db, also by you, to be pointless. I will try to update the most important stats and for the minor riders they are not too much out of date.

Of course not, you can take any sponsors you'd like!

No that's not how I meant it. I am sorry if it sounded that way, for me I just wasn't sure if that would go on. But it's of course great to keep the MFS going although I am not part of it.
Edit: I'll upload a db tomorrow so you can see how the stats look atm
