They definitely screwed Toast! Damn, I'll bet that hurt.
Bummer for the people who were allowed to go into round one with only 3 male riders, but then weren't given any points.

I made a couple changes based more on value added riders and not necessarily on who I really like watching. Getting mixed feelings about that.

Just applied and waiting for approval. Looking forward to taking bike nerdiness to another level.

Man I don't know who that idiot was earlier in the thread talkin all "specialized curse" this, "world champs curse" that. That dude's a dumbass.

How do they decide who's run they show on the stream? The last 10 were the only ones that seemed in order, & only the top 4 women. At least they had cameras in better spots than the last race in Cairns.

I've never paid close attention to how much they deviate from it, but generally the broadcasts show the top 5 women and the top 20 men.

Yea, I totally dropped Troy because I realized I could get Ratty and Stevie if I did it. Fuck all. Should have just left well enough alone.

the curse has been slaughtered

**toast2266** · 04-26-2016, 11:13 AM

So when do we get our "new" transfers? I gotta get this Gwin guy off my team. The YT curse is setting in.

**joetron** · 04-26-2016, 11:14 AM

Looks like they open up Transfers on May 25

**reynolds.trailrun** · 05-10-2016, 04:51 PM

Whoa! Crazy sad news today: http://www.pinkbike.com/news/stevie-...sses-away.html

**toast2266** · 05-10-2016, 04:53 PM

Head injury, 'enduro motocross' accident in Nanaimo.

**radam** · 06-01-2016, 06:09 AM

Fort William is just around the corner! Get your teams set before the transfer deadline. In addition to having to replace Stevie, which I didn't want to do for many reasons, I had Neko Mullaly on my team as well and he just broke his arm at Mtn Creek.

**jamesp** · 06-08-2016, 09:40 AM

How did you punks do at Fort Bill?? A day a bit left for any transfers prior to Leogang.

**toast2266** · 06-08-2016, 09:55 AM

Holding steady in 3rd, although the gap has narrowed.

It kinda seems like the dollar values should change over the course of the season. It'd make things more interesting, and it might mean that Rachel wasn't on 99% of the teams.

**jm2e** · 06-08-2016, 12:13 PM

I climbed one spot. Half my points are thanks to Rachel.
That 4th male rider is a hard spot to pick. Not much equity down there.

**jamesp** · 06-08-2016, 12:49 PM

Prices seem to be based on 'cool' factor rather than race results. And yeah the lowers spot are def hard to pick, my 4th place dude didn't even go to Cairns! The womens WC overall is pretty boring & predictable with Atherton dominating everything.

**toast2266** · 06-08-2016, 05:51 PM

Yeah, I've mostly been basing my 4th guy pick on who I think might actually show up for the race. That should be a bit easier now that they're in continental yurp for a couple rounds.

**joetron** · 06-10-2016, 11:18 PM

Other than the first get-off, Bren Dog is looking good.

I made my transfers way too early.

I'm keeping faith with Rat, though I think this might not be his season.

edit to add: Bren Dog qualifies in 6th!

**Angle Parking** · 06-24-2016, 12:15 PM

. Didn't have internet access for a while and forgot about this. My team still features the dearly departed Mr. Smith. Oh well, got some races to catch up on at least.
