yeah, it looks like transfers messed things up. I transferred minaar in before the deadline and ended up with zero pts for him. Doesn't bother me as it is all free but someone might like to know.

ugh, not a good start for me. currently ranked 1471. i didnt realize the juniors dont get as many points.
gonna have to move someone around to make my team better. i finished 71st last year and hoping to do better

The way i interpreted that was you can transfer one rider between each round. You need to set your roster in stone before the current race then and then any transfer after deadline will be applied to the next round.
Sounds like you already used your transfer for Ft. Bill....
Hell yeah, this is just like my racing, bottom 1/4 of the pack whoop whoop! Just above average, that's where I want to be........

haha i am right there in the middle of nowhere 950th place.
got the transfer thing wrong too, thought i could swap brendan before the race...
oh well...
at least tracey did an outstanding job

wow... so maybe my 111th position ain't so bad...
I still have my transfer... I'm wondering whether I should keep Polc or trade him for Adam Brayton... I'm not sure if Brayton is going to do the rest of the races though, that's the thing.
And then, I also find out my female pick, Emmeline Ragot, has broken her foot again. Will she race again in Fort Bill? and be competitive?
what to do, what to do...
this is my first time participating in one of these pools or fantasy leagues... I can see how they can become addictive!
94th.
not to bad considering mick crashed out.

Didnt realize Kovarik wasnt racing till it was too late, neither is micaylo gatto, made a transfer and didnt get points....so sitting at 4037th place. woot woot
105th! amazing how much better you do when 3 of your riders don't injure themselves before the first event like last year. Ended up going with Smith, Barel, Brosnan, Mullally, Moseley...don't think I'm going move anyone around yet.
I wasn't paying enough attention. Where's Ben Reid? DNF? Didnt qualify? Injured? 0 points. Ouch.
What rank is 0 pts?
Not total. For Reid.
He didnt even go to South Africa. I wanted to pick him but noticed he is not going and changed my mind.
sitting right around 1040, but I knew I was gonna take a hit on this race since I picked Hill and barel and the one thing barel stresses is that he can't pedal well since he broke his femur.
Hill, barel, riffle, walner (stupidly picked conner fearon and forgot to transfer him), and jonnier.
Would have been a solid team to just pick up the trek world racing team and extra, damn.

The few guys who joined after the deadline lower our avg. The top teams are all smaller. Our numbers are our enemy
which will make it even better when we win.The few guys who joined after the deadline lower our avg. The top teams are all smaller. Our numbers are our enemy
I only picked Raggot specifically for Pietz...wonder how she would have done without the broken foot. Planned on transfering her out for Ft. Bill...
My sob story: I switched Gwin out for Danny Hart right before the race.
Sorry guys...
Sorry guys...

I want in for the RM one.

Thanks dude! Joined. Me being ranked #8 should help the team out.
You are in.
Heckler its strange is your name hammer down? I think I just added it but dont yet see it. Probably some kind of a delay.
once again, robbed on the juniors. Why arent the juniors getting 100 points for 1st etc? ahhhh bummed. Im at 23hundred something.
That was the reason they are cheaper
Also if they did it would be a bit unfair of the other riders. Would the top unior be over Minnaar even if he is consistently 20-30th?
Yeah my bad, I didn't help the mini-league numbers w/ my Rach pick.
(In a different league I was so bummed when I didn't get Rach in the draft and then stoked to hear that she wasn't racing RSA, then completely blanked out when picking the Dirt FL team right before the deadline.)
RMonkey comeback next round predicted.

Ended up 14th with a near perfect round for qualis (1st, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 9th). Finals could have been a little better, but Hannah crashed out.

Not swapping Rachel for Tracey really messed me up. I should have made sure that everyone I selected was going to be racing. That change would have boosted me into 3rd place in the Ridemonkey standings. Well, Rachel not being there and Mick crashing out didn't help either, but at least he got the 50 points for the qualifiers.
Duncan Riffle was the real bargain that I missed out on though. I hope he keeps that up for the season.
My team for PMB, SA was Gwin, Hannah, Mulally, Brosnan and Rachel.

Thanks and yeah, it is Hammer Down. Its the name of a race team I am putting together for next season.
I know I am. Working for a new bike to sell off when I win it.
Rhys Willemse didn't get a ride this year, so is out for most of the world cups. He has been selected to ride for Australia at the world champs because he won the Oceania's, so expect to see him in Val Di Sole and the world champs in Switzerland.
Unfortunately Rhys's ride overseas couldn't get the funding, so Rhys was left without a team. Its a shame really because the kid was starting to win alot of races in Australia.
Results are up.
I got knocked down from 8th to 19th place. LAME.
