Where does it state from which country/region other teams prefer to sign new riders?

Hi!
I am in my first season in first career in PCM11, and I find that some teams make quite strange transfers. One example is that the two Norwegian teams (Joker and Østerhus) so far only have got new riders from Australia(!!). I remember something similar from PCM09 where Lampre only signed Polish riders and Liquigas only riders from Ukraine. In PCM09 I found the field that determined this in DYN_team and corrected it, but I cannot find this anywhere in the PCM11 database. Any clues? I'm of course using the PCM Daily Expansion DB |

Check out the last two paragraphs in luigi's post in this thread.

EDIT: However, if there are no riders available from the preferred region, the team will sign foreign riders anyway. That can't be stopped.

Thanks a lot!
It seems like nearly all sponsors are linked to undefined regions (probably old country values from previous versions (two digits in stead of three or four)), so I guess there will be a lot of strange transfers for many teams. |

Or maybe it uses country or region? At least Merida has region 20 as second option, and country 20 is Australia... |

The biggest cycling nations are divided into regions, while the smaller ones are one big region in itself.

Thanks again but I am of course aware of that
My point is that for example Norway is country 35 but region 3501 so I wondered if I needed to put the region number into DYN_sponsor_region and not the country number. But if I read lluuiiggii's post correctly it seems that you can use either country or region, which means that the file isn't as bad as I first thought

They can be guided but all teams will sign from anywhere to some extent.
Examples of wired tranfers ive seen;
Bennati to Euskatel
Henderson to Bretagne
Possoni to Endura
Menchov to Europcar
(anyone who isnt Basque to Euskatel is just wired)
Ferrari-BA > Psuedo Man Game

That's what Cyanide did, although it seems weird to me.
I guess it's made that way, because there's a lot of sponsors who only care (for example) about German riders, not necessarily German riders from a specific region. |
