[PCT/CT] C1/C2 Race Selections 2022 + Wildcards
roturn
Here is the file that will be used to select C1/C2 races, as well as HC for CT teams.

PCT: https://pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2022/F...ionPCT.xls
CT: https://pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2022/F...tionCT.xls
PCT Wildcard Selection: https://pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2022/F...ection.xls

PCT teams have a total of 163 race days, including their and PTHC race days.
CT teams have a total of 140 race days.

So PCT teams first need to select the PTHC and HC bands as seen in the announcement threads and then start to use the remaining race days in C1 and C2.

Same for CT teams, which though can use the 140 race days in C1 and C2 but also in HC races (not bands).

PCT teams will be required to sign up to at least 10 C2 race days. The restrictions on riders they can enter into C2 races are as following: It will be a maximum OVL of 74.49, with stat restrictions on Cobbles and TT/PRL having a max of 76 in any of those categories in races that feature this terrain.

To select a race, put a '1' in the bordered box by each race. (Columns E, L, S, Z)
- PCT teams must put a 1 by all races in each of their six bands of the revealed HC bands.
- PCT teams must put a 1 in the box by the name of their three PTHC bands.

Priorities

There is a Priorities column for each race category, which becomes very important this year. (Columns F, M, T), which is necessary, because you will not be guaranteed entry into every race you want to ride - due to the limit of 24 teams per race.

PCT teams receive prioritised entry into C1 races by default.
CT teams receive prioritised entry into C2 races by default.


This effectively means you have guaranteed entry into those races.

PCT teams: You need to put a priority marker next to every C2 race you wish to enter. Put "P1" by your top priority race, "P2" by your next priority, and so on.

CT teams: You need to put a priority marker next to every C1 and HC race you wish to enter. Put "P1" by your top priority race, "P2" by your next priority, and so on.

All teams should then include at least five additional NX priority markers "N1", "N2", "N3", "N4", and "N5" next to races you have not signed up for in your initial selection. These represent your back-up races, in case you do not receive entry to your initial selections. They can be in any category, although for PCT teams, they should only be necessary for C2 races. This will help to quicken the race assignment process, although in each case, you will be asked to confirm you are happy with the proposed change - and have the opportunity to change your mind.

It may be that five extra races are not enough. In that case, we will follow up for additional choices. However, note that for any additional races, you will no longer receive prioritised entry into your main divisional races over teams from the other division. Feel free to send in a longer backup list to speed things up.

Without a C2HC division, the amount of races freely selected by CT teams is bigger. IF you fail to send a priority and backup list, you very likely will miss some of your aimed races, which makes this list very important!

Example of how this works:
Spoiler
CT team.

They choose their 140 RDs wherever, and by the C1 races they pick, they put P1 next to the one they want the most; then P2; then P3, etc for however many C1 races they went for.

Then they have 5 NX choices. These need to go by races they haven't selected.

So lets say e.g.:
N1 for Tour de Romandie
N2 for GP Lugano
N3 for Hanko Classic
N4 for Tour of Britain
N5 for Volta a Catalunya

If you fail to add priorities to your file, you are more likely to lose out on your aimed races!

---

Scenarios:

1) They wanted to be in Celtic Chrono, but it was full. Two CT teams wanted in, the other team gave it P1, this one only gave it P7 - so will lose out. We can't give them top choice Romandie as that is 6 RD, so we give them a space in GP Wallonie instead.
2) They are rejected from 6 C1 RD. We give them Romandie, which isn't full.
3) They are rejected from 6 C1 RD, but Romandie is also full. We give them GP Lugano and Hanko. Hanko was full, but we kick out a PCT team. The CT team still needs 2 more RD to fill, and no other options, so we need to ask them.
They say they want Roma Maxima. But this is also full, and as it wasn't in their 5 NX choices, we will no longer kick out a PCT team, they need to pick something else.



Keep in mind that while the Tour of America is C1 rated, it will be given HC point scale!

Submission is uploading the file to your Dropbox folder and PMing ManGame-Admin (https://pcmdaily.com/profile.php?lookup=51454) to say your C1/C2 choices are done.

Keep in mind the PT calendar has changed a bit. 2 less stage races, 2 additional classics!

This might make stage race wildcard oversubscribed with less options per team as before while classics are the other way around.

A quick reminder for all PCT/CT teams that the deadline for sending in race choices is this Friday!

Friday26th AugustEndDeadline for submitting C1/C2 choices [PCT/CT]


See the transfer time line for other deadlines as well.

Please don`t add anything to the PT and GTM category in hte race selection. Even if you plan to get a wildcard there.

Just leads to bugs when copying it over.

Both PCT managers, who did send the C1C2 Race Selection so far, had multiple PT races selected. Wink

Think about tomorrows deadline!

Everyone not having sent in the deadline might miss out on oversubscribed races!

This might also happen for PCT in C1 or CT in C2 races then, where normally due to priority the teams would be basically guaranteed to enter.

Within our priority lists for PCT C2 races and alternates, will admins try to match alternates in race day total to the initial subscription they replace in order to minimize C2 race days?

For instance, if I pick two races, one 8 stage race and one classic, that equals 10 race days. If I then Have a 9 stage race and a 3 stage race as my next alternates, can I assume that the admins will match the alternates to the race of corresponding length? So if I miss out on the classic, I get the 3 stage race and end up with 11 C2 race days?

I'm trying to avoid a scenario in the example above where I get the 8 stage race, but not the classic that was my initial choices, and then I'm given the 9 stage race next, which means 17 total C2 race days instead of 10, cutting significantly into C1 races. I suppose this could be remedied by only using shorter races as alternates, but that seems less ideal.

I will try my best to do so, yes.

Plus there will be communication between us once you miss out on a race as well.

Right now still difficult to tell completely as I have no idea how many races are oversubscribed, how many teams are impacted and how their backups look like to fix all this.

14 PCT still missing
8 CT still missing

This is something you really shouldn`t miss with todays deadline as not only it is very much extra work for me to do the selections wihtout all data and also the priority system here is very important but won`t work properly if having to wait for several files.

And it will just slow down the following steps, e.g. race planners.

Is today's deadline for C1/2 only or also for the wildcards?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
 
roturn
Race selection.

Wildcards will be enough at transfers end.
 
roturn
3 1/2 CT teams missing

10! PCT Teams missing.


Go go go
 
ManGame-Admin
7 PCT and 1 CT missing still.
 
ManGame-Admin
If you don`t plan to ask for PT wildcards as a PCT team, please PM mangame-admin with the title being "Short Team Name Wildcards NO"


This will help with preparing race planners.
 
roturn
PCT teams that plan to do wildcards.

Please note the wildcards selection file in the first post, upload it to your dropbox and PM mangame-admin that you have wildcard selections uploaded.

Only do this if your transfer sheet is also having the same wildcard selection paid!
 
roturn
I still need the following 3 transfer sheets and wildcard responses to decide about wildcards and sending out the remaining PCT planners:

Lierse SK
Trans Looney Tunes
(Kraftwerk confirmation, transfer sheet says no wildcards but no PM yet)
