Ysterbeertjie Posted July 26, 2016 Share I know the rules and prizes are set out from the beginning... however, it is a bit silly and sad that "Sanmarie's Team" and "Ketotte" who ended up in the top three, walks away with nothing. jbp1 and Frosty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubehunter Posted July 26, 2016 Share Hi Gerald. Quick suggestion for future. Perhaps keep the prizes the same with the grand prize for the last stage but make the criteria different. Instead of a third green jersey comp on stage 20, make it the yellow jersey for that stage as it almost never changes on the final stage and then consider making overall points the winner of the 21st stage. That way the actual winner of the fantasy league gets the big prize! It does seem crazy that winning the fantasy league can get you nothing after the 3 weeks when the prizes are so attractive on all the stages over the 3 weeks! Good job on this! It's cool to see what it has grown into!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how big of a turnout we'll have if we asked an entry fee. I mean, even at R10 an entry with the entries we received that's well over R6K. And then you split that between positions 2-10 or something. Ysterbeertjie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, you still get the entries of the members who would choose not to keeping the advertisers and their marketing efforts well supported!

It's cool to see what it has grown into! For the record, the overall winner of the Fantasy Tour did (or will) receive the big prize.  The daily prizes (stage 21 included) are smaller prizes to keep it interesting throughout the Tour. Keep your suggestions coming, although I personally have nothing to do with the prizes. That was organised by Admin and his team - while the scoring and competition format is what I contribute.

Spoke101 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Below is the dream team, one that would have scored you maximum possible points (4983).Bearing in mind that it can only be made up of 12 riders, with substitutions timed right. DreamTeam-2016.PNG Week 1 - Alaphilippe OUT, Yates INWeek 2 - CAvendish, Kittel & Coquard OUT, Alaphillppe, Greipel, Costa IN Costa was the surprise, as many felt he wasn't supporting Louis - here's the proof. DreamTeam2016.PNGHi Gerald, not sure if it's just me but if Greipel only scored 77 points (was only used for the last week) surly Romain Bardet would have been a better pick scouring 144 points in the last week?

Gnarly Posted July 26, 2016 Share Great Competition, if you win a prize bonus and well done, if you don't tough ****. Question did people only enter because there were prizes? I know I don't, its just an added bonus. (I didn't win anything) Once again, Thanks Gerald and Admin. Gavmeister and Gen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
