All PCT teams got their race planner. Check your first folder in dropbox. Not necessarily in the 2024 subfolder.
CT will follow asap when oversubscriptions and replacements are finalized.
Please check first if your race selection is correct and for PCT teams the wildcards are included correctly.
So coming to this point. In case you have asked for a wildcard, start doing your planner but check for race clashes yourself potentially as wildcards are yet to be decided!
The Race Planner now includes your race selection and gives you the opportunity to fill your rider squads for those. As it`s individual planners, please only add to those races shown and don`t start to add numbers to hidden race coloumns, as you don`t take part there and would make it just more difficult for us.
Instructions
1. From the DB take the ID, rider names, and race day allowances (of your division!), and add them to the planner file. (Take care you copy paste the number and not any formula for the rd)
2. If you're planning on training, add it to the DB, run the macro (CTRL+SHIFT+O) and take the updated race day allowance!
Then your race planner is ready to go.

Spoiler
This will look something like this:
To fill in a rider's schedule, put a 1 in the column for each race you want them to ride. It should look something like this:
Note: This planner is simply an example, nothing 2024 season related
Column DY and Cells A/D3 will warn you if you have sent a rider to more races than they have race days for. This updates automatically.
Column EA and Cells A/D2 will warn you if a rider is being sent to more than one race at the same time.
This year there is a direct red colouring once you have send a rider to clashing races. You can`t miss this as the rider`s full line becomes red as also the A/D2 box.
Rows 36 and 37 show how many riders you have sent to a race. The team size is 8 for every race except some of the TT classics, which are 3 maximum. Remember that you must send at least 6 riders to each races to participate in those.
PCT teams should remember the limits on rider strength for lineups they send to C2 races.
The planner should give you all needed information if you made a mistake such as too many or too few riders in a race, if spending too many race days or if using a rider in a clashing race.
Submitting
When completed, upload to dropbox and rename it to "PCT_TeamName" or "CT_TeamName" and PM ManGame-Admin to say it is there.
Deadline
The deadline to finish the race planners is Wednesday, 11/09, 24:00 BST!
But the earlier they are in, the better really making it easier and faster for me to handle it.
I must apologize for my delay. Due to a working project that takes away most of my time and energy my race planner is only half done. I'll get it finalized by Sunday, the latest.
I am really sorry for this situation and delaying the game.
Just added all teams with a planner PM to my file, including feedback regarding xp etc.
I see around 20-22 teams that have not send a PM! Seeing around 5 teams have posted in the threads that it might be difficult to get it done in time, that`s still 15+ teams not having said anything.
So not an ideal scenario now. And I really ask anyone to check if a planner PM was sent out and if you haven`t, re-do this asap.
Handful of teams did delete some empty rows after their riders were added. This basically made the startlist creation crash each time and needed a fix.
In future please only use the "hide row" instead. Luckily it was rather easy to identify, which files were corrupt but still ideally not happening.
