However, for the newbies, the previous editions can be viewed as follows:2014 - https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/140025-thehubsa-tdf-fantasy-comp-2014/?hl=fantasy2013 - http://www.thehubsa....on#entry19589342012 - http://www.thehubsa....on#entry16880922011 - http://www.thehubsa....on#entry1419561last updated: 03-Jun
Frosty Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 How the competition works?

Basic Rules:Pick 9 riders from the list of riders taking part;Pick 4 teams from the list of teams taking part;Pick another 3 riders from the list of riders taking part – to be used as substitutes. Changes can only be made on the rest days, and once replaced cannot be used again.Based on the performance of each rider/team, you will score points in various categories.Entries close at the time the first stage is due to start – 12:00 (SA Time).Entries can only be submitted using the submission form that will be setup by Admin.Points are awarded as follows:Stage points (Daily stages)General Classification (Yellow jersey)Young Rider’s Classification (White jersey) Sprinter’s Classification (Green jersey) Climber’s Classification (Polka Dot jersey) Team ClassificationMost Aggressive rider Additional points not included above, will be awarded depending on individual rider performance:Rider in possession of one, or more, of the race jerseys (yellow, white, green, polka dot, best team);Most Aggressive Rider – bonus points awarded if the same rider is awarded this prize more than once;Breakaway - depending on number of riders in the break, as well as riders in the break that finish ahead of the peloton.A full list of the scoring can be downloaded (10 pager). Each stage is graded according to difficulty, with points available increasing according to the difficulty. The difficulty originates from the Tour’s official rule book.

Frosty Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 How does it work?All the information will be added in the first 5 posts of this thread, between now and the start of the Tour. Make sure you return to the first page, so you don't miss anything. For now, there's not much that can be done, as only two teams have submitted their provisional line up.
Sani Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 That time of the year already?! Awesome!Yes agree , Hope I do better this year .
kjind Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I'm in. don't wait to long with the rules. I need some time to wrap my head around the scoring system.
Frosty Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 I'm in. don't wait to long with the rules. I need some time to wrap my head around the scoring system.I've been wrapping my head around the scoring system since July last year and I'm sure I won't get the perfect score it's all in the hands of Christian Prudhomme and his team... the sooner they announce the details, the sooner the scoring will be updated.
