These transfer sheets are very important - you need to use them to keep track of your transfer dealings. Not only will you need to send your completed files to me once the transfers end, but it should also be used to keep track of your transfers, to make sure that you are staying within both your budget and salary cap.
If at any time during the transfers I am concerned by your actions - I will ask for your transfer sheet - and there will be consequences if you don't then show me it, or if it is inaccurate.
A badly kept transfers file has in the past led to teams ending transfers having spent more than their salary cap - and of course, the penalty for that is losing your most expensive rider (in terms of wage) who you brought into your team during transfers.
Top Rows
These will show you what your balance is like throughout transfers. You will need to place your initial budget into cell K2, and any fine from renewals into K3.
This year I have colour coded parts of the tables to show where these top cells are drawing their information from.
The following teams have renewals fines: Becherovka - Petrof, Compal-Merida, Good Energy, Prio - Porto, Vesuvio - Accumalux
Team
Every rider who rides for your team in races in 2015 should go here. You can start by inserting all riders you currently own. Any free agents you buy only need to be placed in this section.
Important tip for new CT teams: Start by putting 50,000 into the wage column for the first 15 riders in the teams list. This will give you an indication of how much room you have to play with for the rest of the transfers.
A change from previous years:
If you are loaning in a rider he needs to be included in this list. But in the wage column put the word 'LOAN'.
Loaned out riders should not appear in this list.
Loans
This section will help you keep track of the new loan cap for all teams. All loans related to your team - both in and out - need to go in here.
For your salary cap it is vital that you fill in the 'Wage you are paying' column correctly for both loaned in and out riders. It is similarly vital that 'Wage you are not paying' is filled in correctly for the loan cap calculations.
Trades
This is where you make a note of any deals you participate in during this transfers. This could be buying a rider, selling a rider, a rider swap or a loan deal. This is also where you should fill in fees for sacking a rider.
All transfer fees are placed in this section, as well as details such as clauses associated with a loan.
The file gives space for 15 riders in the loans section, and 20 in the trades section. This should be enough for all teams, but is not a maximum limit - you can include more - but if you do include more then you will need to be careful to update the appropriate 'Top Row' cells to ensure all transactions are being counted in the calculations.
Training
The training system has already been announced, and you can plan out which training options you want to go for in this section.
Wildcards
For PCT teams, you can use the file to select your wildcard options. All PT races will have 2 PCT teams in them as wildcards.
Buying a wildcard category will allow you to apply for all races in that category. If you do not receive a wildcard to a race in that category when wildcards are decided, you will be refunded.
I will rather ask, but i hope keeping the transfer sheet in shared Dropbox folder and change it there is okay? That way it is also easy for you (SN) to look it up right?
These will show you what your balance is like throughout transfers. You will need to place your initial budget into cell K2, and any fine from renewals into K3.
Shouldn't both of these be respectively J2 and J3?
But well, thanks for the file, that's very useful. Guess that most of the managers have already figured it out themselves
