This one works by picking a Team of 8. You have a specific budget to stay within, riders are grouped into categories of leader, sprinter, climber, and polyvalent. You team cannot exceed 5 all-rounders, 3 climbers, 3 sprinters and 3 leaders.
Daily you have to choose a team captain who points are doubled on that day. For Example if it's the Time Trail Stage I'll choose Filippo Ganna (who is already on my team) as my captain, and any points he scores are doubled. The next day is a climbing stage so I choose Sepp Kuss as my climber, so his points are doubled.
Points are awarded for Stage wins/classifications, Stage Intermediate Sprits, Stage Mountain KOM/Classifications, Stage Combative Rider, KMs Covered In Breakaway in Lead Group (new this year!).
Jersey points are given out daily for Yellow, Green, Polka, White (and overall combative at the end).
You get the option for 8 rider changes throughout the 3 weeks, in case a rider crashes out or pulls a Tejay van Garderen after the second rest day and falls out of contention in one bad day.
Thats the quick and dirty explanation of this Fantasy League.
