Message From The DB Team
Dear members of PCM.daily,
Behind the scenes we've been busy with the preparations for the 2016DB. First of all, we've been busy finding a good replacement for Jesleyh to do the stats of our databases and after a while, we've found our ideal member: Tafiolmo. Also MARSUPILAMI and Clamel have agreed to help us develop the database. MARS will be working on 2016 graphics, while clamel will be implementing his own XML files.
After recruiting was complete, we made our plans for the 2016DB. We chose to completely redo the .cdb, trying to eliminate as many bugs as possible. Before we will release the database, we will test it more than we did with previous versions and thus solving most bugs before release. We will contact a few ex DB team members and well-known PCM.daily members if they would like to test the beta version of the 2016DB.
As always, we won't announce an estimated release date, especially since we want to take more time testing it. Posts asking for release dates won't get any responses from the DB Team.

PCM.Daily Fantasy Cycling Season 2016
As you probably saw we are launching a new game here on PCM.Daily. You can find the news article here (or just below). But here's a quick summary and a reiteration of the link. Teams will be Drafted in a serpentine fashion. Almost any rider in the world will be eligible to take part. The rankings will be entirely based upon the CQ ranking, so any CQ counting race matters. The Admin team will be running the game.
For more information go to this thread which has a lot more detailed information about all the aspects of the game. If you want to take part then you will need to send a PM to roturn, and do it as soon as possible as we will be kicking off very very soon.
Man-Game Madness
It is the World Championships. We've crowned a number of winners already in the B Road Race, Team Time Trial, U23 Time Trial, Elite Time Trial and U23 Road Race. Just the big one still to be run down in South Africa. It's going to be a monsterous showdown of the games very elite climbers. Guaranteed action.
Alongside this is the continuing discussions about the 2016 season, links in last weeks news. Plus SN is still accepting applications to join the game. Very worth while sending in an application and submitting to the all consuming entity that is the Management Game.
Woody's Round-up
CX:AND is just about to start it's 3rd season, 2016-17. The calendar has been confirmed, including the World Championships course. The season was previewed in style by Ian Butler, whos commitment to the game is extraordinary. The racing is about to begin in the next few days and it will be incredible.
Tangofoxx took his second win of the season in the rFactor league. He took a commanding win in Melbourne whilst Paul23 keeps his champinoships lead very much intact. Next up, Montreal in 2 weeks time.
Finally the Daily Song Contest is back! The 4th edition is coming and sign-ups are still just about open for the moment. Antwerp hosts what promises to be the best competition yet. EwanWilson continues to do an excellent organising job. |
