CC Fantasy Tour de France 2008

[rich p]

So I have to think of a name for my team?

Yup! But that's the easy part!

 

[Speicher]

Well, how complicated is registering your team then?
Is it a question of ticking boxes for your choice of player. It might help me if I have some idea of the stages of the process involved so that I can have all the info ready that I need. Adding or amending players could get complicated.

When I chose my list and then added up their costs in VeloEuros, the total came to exactly 100 at the first attempt. I have taken this as a "sign" that I should stick with that choice.

 

[Speicher]

I have now chosen a name. Can I log in and set up my team and then add it to the Cycle Chat mini league later, when I get the code word?

Or do I need to wait for the Code word that someone is very kindly going to give us. I know that if I leave it til the last evening to enter, then I will get all confuddled.

Your helpful is advice is appreciated. thank you

Yes and yes.

 

[Speicher]

Thank you

I will set aside tomorrow afternoon or evening to set my team up. Just hope it is not too complicated for a non-technicalised person like me.

 

[Noodley]

It is very easy. I had forgotten how easy until I set my team up this afternoon. Very very easy - drop down menu with lists of the riders in each category, numbered 1-9, with points for each rider shown as well.

 

[Speicher]

So my Team Leader/Captain will be No 1 and the wild card no 9. OK
I will let you know how I get on.

Are there no other Cycle Chat ladies brave enough for this challenge?

Welcome to the fray Speicher! There's nothing like a fantasy game to detract from the overall enjoyment of a sporting event!

Euro 2008 I "needed" Germany to win that, even though they played some of the worst fussball in the tournament! Ha ha, all part of the fun!

I take it Rasmussen doesn't have a pro ride at present?

I think they are allowing you to be the one blamed for bringing bad luck to all the teams

 

[CotterPin]

Well - I thought I would join in. My selection technique was very close to that well known party game, sticking the tail on the donkey, although I think I gravitated to the riders I had actually heard of!

 

[Noodley]

...I think I gravitated to the riders I had actually heard of!

Me too.

Seems to be a favoured technique....

 

[4F]

Yeah i'm in again. Gone for the tried and trusted method of
eny meany miny mo

 

[Will1985]

JtM have you made a mini-league yet?

 

[John the Monkey]

Done - our code is 04080409

I've also cleverly called it Cyclechat.co.uk, so when we storm to the top of the rankings, we'll be flooded with new folk anxious to learn from us.

 

[Tetedelacourse]

Damnit, I'm bottom already!
