Due to the restrictions that will be put on the draft the focus nation has to be a nation. The region containing that country will then be the first of three calendar-focuses.
I have put Lampre as Italy and IAM as Switzerland. If you disagree please say so.
DB updated once again with sackings and added EPIC riders.

He can already sack? Didn't know that 
As many riders we sack, more draft round we get right?

Yeah. You can sack from now.
You will get one extra round per sacking since your number of draft rounds depend on how many riders you lack to fill up your team.
Btw a Like from me on a post means that it has been registred and approved.

You may have based yourself on the wrong DB, I recommend using the Excel DB from post #1

In deed this is not the EPIC DB, so you're back with a WT-Lampre 
Also for the record I just want to point out that you don't have to sack riders- You're welcome to, I'm just a bit surprised how many want to get rid of riders looking at who's available in FA.
The DB is btw updated continually to feflect new FA's. Now it also has some overall rankings for the riders as well.

Sorry that I was unclear, but I'd like the same focus nations as Ian, so Belgium first, then rest of Benelux, then France
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Topsport Vlaanderen - Baloise sacks no-one. We believe in our riders, contrary to many of our collegues |

DEADLINE FOR SACKINGS & SIGN-UPS
Sign-ups and sackings will end at Sunday 19:00 GMT.
That also means that Sunday evening I will post the draft order, how many rounds each team has and the restrictions imposed on the different rounds as well as the draft will be opened for the first teams.
As of now that means Adria Mobil will get to pick five riders before anyone else is invited in. That can of course change if anymore CT teams are picked.
Speaking of CT-teams at least 3 PCT teams will relegate. For this I would like som input from you guys.
1. The easy and obvious would be to just relegate from the weakest end according to the calculated team ranking.
2. Another alternative would be to take into account which of the remaining teams has the most riders you would prefer to have available in the draft. The best handful of teams will be spared no matter what.
A quick glance would make the lists look along these lines when basing on either rankings or other teams' focus nations:
| Rankings | Focus Nation | | 1. | Team Novo Nordisk | Neri Sottoli | | 2. | Drapac Pro Cycling | Bretagne - Séché Environnement | | 3. | UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team | Caja Rural - Seguros RGA | | 4. | RusVelo | UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team | | 5. | CCC Polsat Polkowice | Team Novo Nordisk |
Obviously the final desicion as to which teams relegate won't be made until right after sign-up ends as all the potential relegating teams are still available for takeover.
