Hi all my fellow PCMDaily members.
I am the owner of a new danish PCM site, and our main focus is to start up something called PCM World Series.
PCM World Series is a battle of PCM sites. The members of PCMDaily will compete against PCMNorway, our site and hopefully several other PCM sites across nations.
PCM World Series includes a number of competition, so every member has a chance to join in. So competitions will be something like graphics, videoguides, stagecreation, dbs and this time a Micro version of the PCMDaily Man-Game.
We hope you will want to join the fun, and if you are also active on other PCM sites, ask them to join aswell. I can be contacted through PM inhere or through email:
So, for the actual question.
Which 20 members want to be the first 20 members to fight for PCMDailys glory in a Mini Man-Game competition? The game itself shouldn't take a very long time for the members, we do however also need a member - or crewmember, who wants to help with reporting the races.
It is 20 teams competing, 10 one day races, and a DB of 350 riders. One transferwindow. The best members (Those who end up as the best teams) will then compete against the best from the other sites.
In the end we will hopefully be able to give PCM14 to the winner - No promises yet though as it really depends on how interested you guys are.
It is ONLY possible to qualify through ONE site, so if you already play through our site, or PCMNorge then you cannot sign up here.
The 20 first members will get a spot. Sign up here.

THE FOLLOWING YET AGAIN APPLIES
 
Rules of activity:
The Mini Man-Game breaths for active members. For that reason, members that is not active to a reasonable degree will be removed in order to keep the game active, and make room for new members.
The game doesn't demand a huge effort from the members, but for that reason it is expected that members update their teams thread with some standard elements such as riders, and race efforts. It is not necessary to write a novel, but the more you buy into the game the better it will evolve for others aswell.
So be a good role model, and enjoy the game.
 
 
Game Database:
For all members of the Mini Man-Game here is the database in which you will find the riders eligeble for signing, during the off season.
The database is excel based, so that even members without PCM13 can play The database should also be easy to manouvre about, and it is possible to sort by different meassures, for whatever that's worth.
Download database
 
 
Mini Man-Game løbene:
Milano - San Remo:
Tour of Flandern:
Paris-Roubaix:
Amstel Gold Race:
Ponferrada TT:
La Fleche Wallone:

FAQ:
Will members that play season 1 be preferred for future seasons?
- Yes, if you prove yourself worthy of a place, you will have a ticked booked.
Will this game evolve?
- Probably. The first season is a beta edition that will work as the first PCM World Series competition. So the best members will qualify for the final round.
What is the final round?
- It is a reset of the competition. The same database, the same races, the same everything - Except for one thing. You will now compete against the other qualifiers from the PCM World Series. (Other PCM sites)
Is it allowed to be two members on one team?
- No, it is a single player game.
Is it allowed to have an assistant manager or sportif directeur?
- Same as above. It is not allowed.
 
 
Transferperiod
How should my offer look like?
You must write [Free Agent] The riders full name - This goes into the title.
You must write your offer at the top, and your team name below - This goes into the text field.
This is what a proper offer looks like:
If the riders name is miss spelled, shortened or parts are left out the thread is locked, and not eligeble. In case you forget the inclamation (These [Free Agent]) the same will happen.
In case the rider is already created, use that thread. If you believe a thread is wrong contact the Mini Man-Crew, do not post it into the thread, as we will not look.
Offers:
You must end on exactly 10 riders, so you are not allowed to put yourself in a position where this is not possible.
You can never lead more than 10 offers at a time (This includes any riders you may lead on due to mistakes from others!)
- If you lead more than 10 bids you will be removed from the latest offers. Multiple times and you will be removed from the game.
- Incase you end up with more than 10 riders on your team your best rider is removed (Highest AVR according to the excel sheet).
Deadlines:
Once a leading bid reaches 24 hours, the thread is locked (Once the crew gets to it) and the rider is sealed. It is not allowed to write in the thread once the 24 hours mark have passed. Not even to notify the Mini Man-Game crew, that the time has passed!
The transferperiod is open for a week, if necessary. The exact open- and close dates/times are announced in a seperat thread in the transferzone.
The final 12 hours of the transferwindow there will be awarded a "Silent auction" mark to those actively bidding on a specific rider, meaning that if you have made an offer for a rider within the final 12 hours you now have an option to make a final offer through PM after the window has closed. The PM must be received by the Mini Man-Game crew member at latest 10 minutes after the transferperiod is over. The member with the highest offer wins the bidding war.
In case a member has not reached 10 riders (In cases with silent auction), the team is getting the rider available with the lowest AVR for 1 Token.
When is a bid illegal?
- Editing: If you have edited a post, the bid is illegal. Even if it is merely a miss spell correction. Instead you should write a new offer with the correct info. Editing is also fined 50 Tokens
- Too low increas: If you haven't offered a bid that is significant according to the rules, then your offer is invalid.
- Forgotten teamname: If you have forgotten to write your teamname under your offer the bid is invalid. Do not edit your post, simply post a new, valid offer.
What happens to illegal/invalid offers?
Illegal/Invalid offers doesn't count at all, meaning the second highest offer is still the one that counts.
- You must therefore ALWAYS keep track on your bids, even those you do not actively lead anymore. Your opponent could have made a mistake.
Minimum bid increases:
Make sure to to always stay within the rules of minimum bid increases. This helps the Mini Man-Game crew, and the game itself to proceed faster.
0-25 Tokens - Min. offer 1 Token
25-50 Tokens - Min. offer 2 Tokens
50-100 Tokens - Min. offer 5 Tokens
100-300 Tokens - Min. offer 10 Tokens
300-500 Tokens - Min. offer 25 Tokens
500-991 Tokens - Min. offer 50 Tokens
*It is not allowed to offer more than 991 Tokens for one rider, as it will make it impossible to reach you destination of 10 riders.
Fair play:
- The game is made for fun, hence it is expected that the contestants show fairness in their actions. It is not allowed to run hetz or provoke other contestants, by offering on all his riders just to provoke, or exclusively offering in the last part of the 24 hours to destroy other teams plans. It is also not OK the point out a specific rider to another manager, to push the prize up, as this is considered foul play.
- You should only ever make an offer for a rider if you want him to join your team.
- The crew are allowed to add new rules during the proces, if a gap appears or rules are unfairly taken advantage of.
In cases where the crew evaluates that you do not stay within these rules you will be immidiately removed from the game without any prior warnings.
 
 
Qualification to the PCM World Series:
Atleast the top 3 will qualify to the next round. It depends on the amount of PCM sites that wish to compete, so as many as 10 could in theory qualify, but most likely is somewhere in the region of 3-6.
Extra tokens may be awarded according to the teams ranking points, so make sure these are always correct. It is a good idea for the managers to always count their own points aswell, and point out if any mistakes has happened.
 
 
Database:
We play with PCM daily 2014 DB
Graphics:
Each team should chose a Fantasy Jersey, or create one themselves.

It won't be very hard for members. Only 10 riders each, and 10 races. We don't need heavy excel sheets or so like the real Man-Game.
The transferperiod will take 1 week and then the season itself is just like the Man-Game, where one or two people race and the others just watch

I think i can understand why some people would be hesitant as it's certainly something very new and quite different, because it's not like a simple racing competition.
Still if we (Daily) can not f*ck up that should help out

I would be very surprised if PCMDaily wouldn't top the rankings in most competitions. Obviously something like this is also down to good/bad luck, but members inhere knows a lot more on the Man-Game concept than the other sites.
Personally I'm very interested in how PCMNorge will do - If they are half as nationalistic here as in real life cyclingfanbase, then I will kick them out

Bidding on riders, and selecting which races they should race
It's a really really simple version of Man-Game.
20 Teams
10 riders on each team
10 one day races
8 riders pr. race
No rider can ride all 10 races
That's it
