Congratulations. You will join the Continental division, which will consist of 24 teams. The 9 new teams, the 4 teams who relegated from PCT to CT, and 11 teams who competed in CT last season already.
Being accepted is only the first part. A strong activity in the game, both in the off-season and during the season are expected of all of you. Last year some teams lost their spot due to high inactivity or didn`t even made it into transfers/season start. So don't take anything for granted now that you are in!
The first step is to confirm your team name and sponsors, which you can do in this thread: https://pcmdaily.c...rowstart=0
Fill it in as all others have done, and just put "N/a" under the 2015 Name section.
A note on sponsors. You can't pick a sponsor that is already being used, or was used last season. You can see last year's sponsors from the 2016 List, but check the thread above too for any new sponsors being chosen by teams.
Your team will need a jersey, and once ready that needs to be uploaded to the 2017 ManGame section of the Shirts Database (Section PCM13).
https://pcmdaily.c...;year=2017
You can then post a Team HQ thread in https://pcmdaily.c...rum_id=96. But first, try to think about what you want to put in it. Don't start spamming the HQ forum out of excitement, its your first chance to prove youll be a good manager for the game!
Please do not suddenly post in a lot of Team HQ threads declaring interest in riders they might have. And certainly do not make any offers for riders. This is banned for all teams until the start of the transfer season, when there will be plenty of time for such moves. Transfers will require some careful planning - not wildly charging in trying to sign every single available rider.
Everything else in the off-season will follow in due course, and be announced in this MG Announcements forum or the General CT forum. A vague order will be: Reveal of racing calendar; selection of team goals; transfer season; selection of C1/C2 races; filling in rider race planner files; start of the season with the first race. However there is no timescale for when these will happen. Impatient posts asking about timings are not appreciated. |

Congratulations to everyone who made it in and good luck in your first season!
I'm looking forward to work with you in transfer seasons and hopefully race against you one day too (obviously not because we'll relegate...).

Welcome to the new managers. I always find it very interesting to see what kind of projects may emerge.
Will this year finally be the one where an Arabic oriented team will emerge, will we get more competition in Scandinavia or what will happen?

The yellow jersey and the white jersey accepted in the same year? Surely this has to go down in history as a big moment of the ManGame.
Good luck, guys!
