Hi everyone, welcome to a new season of PCM.Daily Velogames.
George hasn't announced anything on Twitter yet, but as usual, I imagine the season will begin during the Strade Bianche weekend for the Classics game and then Paris-Nice the following day.
As we had some issues with the number of players a few years back and in some games last year, especially on some of the smaller games, I'm going to keep the rules the same this year and hope that it helps. So, here are the rules:
I will run 2 separate championships throughout the season, which will have 2 separate winners. If the number of participants is consistently high enough, there will be an overall leader. The championships are:
1) Men WT Races and Classics Games
2) Women Tour games and Classics Games
I am not going to include the non-WT races in the Men calendar, such as Volta a Portugal or the Tour of Britain due to the low number of players we had last year as well as the huge amount of games that happen in a very short period at that time of the year.
The PCM Daily Champions will be the players with the highest scores throughout the season, based on every Velogames game that are part of the Championships. So, I will record the results of the Men and Women races separately so that at the end of the year there will also be a Men Championship Winner and a Women Championship Winner. I will update the results throughout the year, as close as possible to the end of the race and will keep the Overall standings updated on this post as in previous years.
So good luck for the season. Let me know if you have any questions or have any ideas.
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 larger games of the year (Grand Tours & Classics games. Once again, I believe that this year there is an extended one day classics game, Superclasico 2021, starting with Strade Blanche going all the way to Paris-Tours. So depending on whether there is the normal Spring and Autumn classics game, this will be the major classics game. I will see what George announces). At the end of the year the member with the greatest number of points in each Championships will be crowned the PCMDaily Velogames Champion 2022.
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. 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 PCM.Daily 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 than 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 the past. 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

Thanks for picking this up again gargatouf 
Agree with limiting to WT races only, the time limits for getting entries in to some of the races is very tight due to start lists not being finalised. Not sure how George manages to get them all up to be honest.
I will be back for the main events in search for that elusive win and I supported Velogames as I get a load of fun out of it and hope it encourages George to keep it going.

Thanks for setting this up again! I don't think I've finished top 3 in a race since 2014 Dauphine, but I'll continue playing regardless. 
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

FYI Velogames Tour Down Under is back.
https://www.velogames.com/tour-down-u...nder/2023/
Not advocating this race is included in our championships, just wanted to let Daily members know in case they fancied entering.

Sorry if I've missed something, but do we have a league code for the Tour Down Under?

Also, for those who haven't seen, Georges has announced a "Warm Up Championship", with several early season races during January and February. Here are the races: https://www.velog...p_2023.php
But as mentioned in the rules, as they are not WT, they won't count for the final league table, but it can still be fun to play. |

Lets go mates and good luck to all.
8th year, but I don't see the overall winner for last year.
It surely must have been FreitasPCM. He is running away with the amount of wins racked up the last 2 years.
Lets give him a fight this year then
