1. Mariner 2. Skippos 3. Weeman27bob 4. KATA 5. Samuel Vimes 6. Evilhoopler 7. Noble One This is starting again, Skippos has agreed to sim it if I take care of the draft. Soo... Rules - Draft a roster of 25 cyclists - Cuntador etc. are all ELIGIBLE. - The full UCI World Tour Roster will be simulated as a season. This is all 27 events. Selected 1 & 2.HC races will be included - This will include a mixture of grand tours, stage races and one day classics - Included in this will be stages with HC climbs, as well as stages with category 1,2,3,4 climbs and intermediate sprints. It is an absolute replica of all courses, essentially. Cobblestone races will be a part of it too. Skippos's top tips - Riders have morale. Each squad has a leader at each race. If you draft Nibali and Wiggins, and race them at the same race, one would have to play second fiddle. That rider's morale will fall drastically as he feels he should be a leader. He'll perform worse. Try and recruit a balanced squad such that people aren't battling for leadership. Gun sprinters don't like being domestiques and lead out men either. However, a gun rider who wants to be a leader with shit morale through being a domestique will still be better than a good moraled meh rider - Guys like Froome may play second fiddle in real life but they won't like playing second fiddle in this - Recruit a balance of sprinters, domestiques, climbers, punchers, fighters and northern classic specialists - it will maximise your team's success. Rankings are calculated using the official UCI rankings & superprestige rankings. This will determine your score/rank against others. The sim used is pro cycling manager 2012. Their ratings of players are pretty spot on, a few (about 15) alterations have been made(i.e. sagan would come 12th in every sprint even if it was a hill finish). They rate players on the following attributes - Sprint - Acceleration - Hills - Mountains - Flat - Downhill - Resistance - Recovery - Fighting Spirit - Time Trial - Prologue - Endurance - Cobblestones If that may help your selections. Skippos will be setting it so that player potentials are shifting (i.e. they're not the default ones with the database so I don't have an advantage - a players potential will be decided by their performance and morale etc. not a predetermined number like usual) Post in here if interested.

May as well start now then. Order is as follows: here were 6 items in your list. Here they are in random order: KATA Samuel Vimes Evilhoopler Skippos Weeman27bob Mariner Timestamp: 2013-04-20 08:14:04 UTC Anyone else is welcome to join, I'll tack you onto the end.
Should be fine seeing as there's only 6 of us. I'll vm people when they're up anyway. Remember to send lists if you're not going to be online, would like to get through this quickish.
Sure, you've got the double pick now. If you could send me a list of picks that'd be good so we can get back up to Hoopler and Vimes before this evening.
