Welcome to the 2019 PCM Daily Velogames Championship
Last year saw the most exiting finish to date with Ember overhauling defending champion Ian Russell at the Tour of Britain and then holding on through the Autumn Classics to take the overall championship by just 7 points (the winning margins in the previous 2 years had been 110 & 82 points). Prior to that Ian had looked unbeatable.
Hopefully 2019 will see the return of the Tour de France game, which was sorely missed last year, as well as the continuance of the Autumn Classics game which was a great addition to the end of last season.
As of today (7th January) there is nothing on the Velogames website about the new season. With the Tour Down Under due to start on the 15th I assume it will be updated fairly shortly.
A brief outline of how the PCM Velogames Championship works is outlined below. If you have any questions then please post them on this thread. Hopefully we can get another title chase going this year that will be talked about for years to come 
The format is simple. Simply enter the PCMDaily leagues set up for each of the games throughout the year (https://www.velog...). At the end of each game the top 25 teams will be awarded points from 25 to 1. Double points will be awarded for the 5 larger games of the year (Spring Classics, Giro, Tour, Vuelta & Autumn Classics). Any minigames, such as the Tour de France's "King of the Mountains" competiotion, will also count towards the overall totals. At the end of the year the member with the greatest number of points will be crowned the PCMDaily Velogames Champion 2016.
Only a few rules to note:
-Please ensure you use the same user name for each game. If you use different usernames then points will be allocated to that name only. I don't have time to reconcile different usernames to the same individual. I will be more strict with this rule this year. Please ensure you use the same user name throughout the competition if you wish for all of your points to be allocated to the correct person. If you make a slight spelling mistake then I am happy to review this, however usernames which are completely different will not be amended and your points will be split between the different usernames. You are free to change the name of your team as much as you want.
-Please note I do not take responsibility for setting up PCMDaily leagues for the various races. We are usually quite good at setting up leagues and I will try to ensure that the leagues are advertised in this thread so you know which leagues to enter. Hopefully once people become aware of this competition/thread they will automatically start putting the details of the league into this thread.
-If I become aware of more then 1 league for a race I will advise which one will be used to score points in this thread.
-You don't need to enter every game throughout the year. Obviously you will simply not earn any points for races you do not enter.
-Multiple Teams - I noticed that some players entered multiple teams in competitions last year. You may enter as many teams as you wish providing you use a different username for each team. Points will be allocated to each of your teams based upon their user name as per the normal rules. If however you use the same username for multiple teams you will not score any points for any of your teams.
- Bonus points will be allocated to players finishing in the top 100 of the overall Velogames league as follows (Double bonus points for the big 4 games):
Overall Winner = 25
Top 5 = 20
Top 10 = 15
Top 50 = 10
Top 100 = 5
I will try to provide an updated league table after each game but this will be very much dependant on free time at my end.
I think that's about it. Let me know if you have any questions.
Good Luck

In! Like always, will make some final changes during the weekend and considering the criterium stage raced before the official start, might help out find the correct sprinters to go with.  |

I probably typed this wrong so many times already...last year though on old desktop it was automatically filled in when clicking and corrected me...new laptop, no correction... 
And I actually considered to go easy with roturn - roturn this time at first.
Regarding the game itself. Thanks for setting this up again and may the best win.
For TdU I found it amazingly easy to fit a 100 point team without giving up on too much and while adding the ones I wanted before knowing the points values. Should be an interesting race. |

You can go to team options and change them the correct way back. |

Also his latest tweet:
Fantasy Tour Down Under is, like last year, a one-off event outside the season standings. I plan to release the new season schedule, along with quite a few updates to the website, before the start of the European season (and in particular, before Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

The funny thing is I think I've been in 90% of the leagues over the last few years and have not scored a single point towards the rankings once.
But I was 3rd in the world in Dauphine 2014, never forget!
