Tired of waiting for the official ManGame-season to begin? Interested in seeing your Aussies (or Kiwis, or Malaysians, or Brits, Japanese) racing the world's fastest criterium series? Then some of us managers now get the chance to participate at the Bay Classic Series in Australia!
The Idea/ Just like last year, we found some sponsors to provide the cycling fans in Australia (and around the world, too) an unofficial start to the 2014 season. No ranking points will be rewarded, no XPs will be gained, no racedays will be used.. it's just for fun! Interested? Then continue to read..
The Race/ The Bay Classic Series is a road cycling race held in and around Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, Australia. It consists of 4 criteriums (mostly flat, one hilly). The stages are approximately one hour criteriums (around 50km each). Points are awarded to the first 10 riders at the finish (12, 10, 8 to 1).
The Teams/ The Bay Classic Series is first and foremost an Australian event. 14 teams (maybe more) in total will participate, most of them Australian "amateur" teams [so "fake-teams" as for the ManGame]. For 2014, there may also be a Malaysian team and two teams from New Zealand (plus "National Teams" for Japan and/or Great Britain and maybe a mixed Asian) participating. There will be 5 riders per team and now it's your turn..
The Riders/ Each ManGame-manager with an appropiate rider* in his team is allowed to subscribe up to 3 riders** of his ManGame-team. I will then allocate your riders to one of the teams. I will update the 2nd post with the "nominees" and team-list, so that you can see if there's still a free slot within the teams.
*The riders have to be:
- from Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia (5) and Japan and/or Great Britain (      )
- (other rider's nationalities - Asia preferred - may be accepted at a later point, to fill missing spots: so feel free to nominate them for a waiting list)
- Sprint-stat <= 80
- Hill-stat <= 76
- AVG < 75.00
**Exception:
- Australian or New Zealand based teams may be accepted even with less than 5 eligible riders on their original roster
- If a team (like Oz Cycling) is able to send 5 Australian riders at once, the race organziation may consider inviting this "complete" team (replacing an "amateur" team)
The Deadline/ The deadline for subscribing your riders will be on next sunday, though it depends on when all Race Planners have been send in. Any questions? Just ask right away!
Your nominees can be posted in this thread!
Race 1/ Geelong Criterium
Race 2/ Queenscliff Criterium
Race 3/ Portarlington Criterium
Race 4/ Williamstown Criterium
Finish line Geelong/ Ritchie Boulevard
Start and Finish Queenscliff
Finish climb Portarlington/ Harding Street

So, would Drapac (80 Sp) be allowed to participate here, or would he have to be 79?

Points is all what matters for the final Rankings here, so he can lose as much time as he wants in the hilly race and still win the overall classification
@jph: Haussler's AVG could be an issue, i guess

Nice intiative, I nominate:
| Masatoshi | Oba | | Masakazu | Ito |
And for the reserve list:
 | Khayabkhyrvaa | Uugunbayar |
Also it would be nice to have an all Thailand team. Is that an option? If so I would pull back the nominees from above and nominate:
 | Phucong | Sai-Udomsin | | Sarawut | Sirironnachai | | Thanawut | Sanikwathi |
For that Liphongyu (Nordeus) and Boonratanathanakorn (Magna) would still be needed. |
