I'm going to be honest, their are some things in this game which are just pointless bureaucracy and really tick me off, I get the whole problem with names, but if someone does it as a one off, Man up and just open the damn PM. Like seriously, it's a game, we're all here to have fun and some of your "being evil" is just stupid.

It's for "Being evil". I get a fair few PM's from various people, and about half of those are UCPCL things. In order to prioritize reading my PM's i need to specify a title for important things, such as these race planning sheets. The team name and planning sheet in the title and i instantly know what is in that PM, i can click it and have the file downloaded in 2 seconds. Because i put a serious deadline on these i need to check them asap in case of any errors, so that the person has the time to correct any mistakes. I do not read all my PMs straight away as i am usually focusing on other things, so i could overlook the PM containing the file, then the whole thing slows down. So by making a simple request that the PM includes your team name and "planning sheet" as words i can easily filter my inbox.
If you can't be bothered to title the PM as clearly instructed then why should i have to spend longer checking each and every PM as it comes in, when i might be working on something important.
And you think this is bad... the Man-Game and SN are much much more pedantic. But i bet you make the effort there...

Whilst I follow your point, If you have a PM called "Raceplanning UCPCL" from Baggieboys32 (AKA Me) then it's pretty obviously going to be a UCPCL RP sheet, from my team SGL.
Actually, I found they were far less pedantic, and on something like that it justs ticks me off. Don't get me wrong, overall I think you're doing a good job with this game, and i do hope that it will continue, however their is a truth that some things are irrelevantly OTT, and given that every other race list etc you've had from me has been correctly named, I see no reason why you can't excuse the fact i missed 30% of one title.
Especially as I was then away, and it's only because I happened to walk into a café with wifi that I was able to even rectify the bloody problem, where otherwise I'd have been stuffed and lost my team, despite being one of the main reporters, heavily involved with the initial drafting process, and with this game from about an hour after it's creation as a thread.

I feel your pain Miguel, I just lost part of my rankings due to computer issues. Backup only got me to halfway Catalunya and couldn't be bothered to bring them up to date again this week. Can't promise I'll find the enrgy for it in the future, but yeah, wasn't that important I guess.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

@TMM Did you get my planning sheet? Never used mediafire before, so not sure if I did it correctly |

Thanks for the effort people
BUL, CAT, ABC, BAR, CSC, DOM, ING, IOQ, ITV, NAC, SGL, TAP and TUG all got their lists in perfectly
TCW and LPU also got them in
Will try and get things out to the reporters this week, could be next week.

16/28. Expected more
TCS, AGT, FWB, SEP, HAI, PBG, PER, AXA, CCC, RBM, MAG and MCS did not sent their file in, I assume?

AGT, FWB and SEP are all unmanaged now. HAI, RBM, PBG and AXA have been hit and miss at best. Was expecting more from CCC, MAG, MCS and TCS...

You have until this time next week (19:25 BST, 24th June) to fill out the form correctly and return it correctly to me. If it is not done then your worst riders will go to every remaining race and your team will disband at the end of the season meaning you will leave the game (unless you can provide me with an excellent reason why you had not done as asked).
can I use that option? I really needed to make sure that I pass this year at school and I'd might be just me but I find that more important then this game.
if I get that pass I promise that I finish it this night

Have now got planning from PER and TCS as well. Will get them sent out in some form monday/tuesday/wednesday.
To confirm - FWB, AGT, SEB and CSC will be disbanding at season end.
HAI, PGR, AXA, RBM, MAG, MCS and CCC did not send in a planning sheet, nor a reason why they couldn't. Thus, unless there is some form of communication by Wednesday they will ride the rest of the season with weakest team and then disband. (i know Jakstar has been busy and not around a lot, so he may get some leniency). FWB, AGT and SEB will also ride the rest of the season with weakest teams.
CSC will different, and ride with their planned squads, but will not count for promotions/relegations.
No List or Excuse From:
HAI, PGR, AXA, RBM, MAG, MCS and CCC
They have UNTIL WEDNESDAY 3RD JULY to send planning AND/OR an excuse

TO ALL REPORTERS
https://www.mediafire.com/?yl9eafzk8t6...fzk8t6otch That is all remaining teams full season planning. I don't have time split it into specifics, but you can obviously figure out which bits you need
If a team is not there, send their worst riders to every race. No Exceptions!

The earlier promise that custom riders could stick to their schedule still stands, right?

@Ollfardh - Yes, but you must deal with separately then send it onwards/post here yourself for those.
@SSJ - everyone did a good job in the end
@fcancellara - make it quick!

Hmmmmmmm, just found out that Ljubljana-Zagreb hasn't been made for PCM11, so I can't report it. Is there someone who wants to take over/trade?
