I'm gobsmacked that there are so few paying players. But a YTS lad could do it for you. I think they call them modern apprentices these days.
I'd help out if it was paid. Just saying.
I would take on keeping the startlists and results up to date as a freelance contract for £10K per season with penalty clauses. Equivalent to the revenue from just 1000 subscriptions.
Charge an entry fee and rely on volunteers to keep the game up to date? Not premium value. Helpfully point out that premium members can always spend time going elsewhere on the internet to find out for themselves who's starting? Not premium value.
Use part of the game's revenue to pay a content manager to keep the game up to date so it's a one-stop shop for team management? That's premium value!
or looking at it more realistically, all of the game's revenue. plus some other revenue.
I'm doing men's and women's, but I don't have all the time in the world to cover things. I'm self employed, plus I have commitments to women's team outside of the internet, I go to races and do all the background work for them.
Take this coming week, I'm leaving the house on Friday, covering a race on Saturday, another on Sunday, travelling on Monday, no point in going home, that would add another 600 miles on my journey. So Friday first I'm off to another race, set up for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, then travel home on Tuesday. So that's me out for 9 days and unable to cover anything unless I can get wifi somewhere.
I will be dropping in past the Road.cc HQ at some point, so I might discuss the game with Dave, more likely just drink their coffee and eat their biscuits
The last few years that I have been doing the game, I was unemployed and had all the time in the world on my hands.
Time for some more volunteers.
Note, JC Peraud, AG2R has been missed from the scoring.
I'm in the same boat Steve. I've lost a couple of riders aswell.
Looking at the back end, there seems to be only 2/4 logging on often and doing anything, unless it's a race that the other 2 are running....
I and the other can only do so much.
Thanks for the reply Gkam..... Im not trying to point the finger at anyone mate, I just notice that things are not as efficient this year on a few things and I suppose this is my way of trying to get the powers that be to take note.... I am sure that others are thinking the same...
I research the startlists myself when time allows and I got lucky this time but it is getting annoying....as is the results service at times....
The apparent lack of enthusiasm to update the startlists is frustrating and appears to be becoming more and more the norm, as is the lack of enthusiasm from the organisers to get the results out in a acceptable timeframe...
I used to think that this game and indeed the site was the best thing since sliced bread...... This is my fourth year of playing and I am really disappointed with the service provided...... The service was better when it was free....
I picked him for my standard, too...
.
It seems to me that you're right. I think you've got a harsh way of stating it, but the fact is it used to be results were out within a few hours after the race was finished and there were various revisions of the start lists prior to the race starting... I got the impression that having a rider missing from the start list used to be an exception, rather than a rule... Whether it's lack of enthusiasm, disinterest or a lack of clearly assigned responsibilities, I don't know...
.
Sometimes I think it's just a manpower issue, dr doesn't seem to be around anymore, I don't think TER is as involved as he was last year, G is sometimes around for the men's races, but I have the impression his primary focus is on the Women's Races, dave is around, like today, but not as often as before, Ghed has been taking on some scoring, but I don't know if he's responsible for every race now or not... Sometimes I think it's just that too many races were added this year and they just don't have the manpower to be on top of start lists and results all the time...
You have a nice touch, though, after you calm down a little...
My purist would have been better had I not picked the expensive LL Sanchez, who I discovered too late isn't racing. Now I have him for four stages. This startlist thing is very frustrating.
1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 11 - happy with that
Purist ok I guess.
2,2,3,3,4,4,7,10
Epic fail by me including an MTQ, JJVR, who isn't racing.
2, 2, 3, 3, 8, 8, 16, 16 for me
Ahh. Now i get it. Thank you?
Actually not too bad!
1,2,2,3,3,4,7,10
Heh. I'd say that is actually VERY GOOD.
Better than me 1,2,2,3,3,8,8
1. Bora Argon
2. Team Sky
3. Astana
4. AG2R La Mondiale
5. Cja Rural
6. Southeast
7. MTN Qhubeka
8. Cannondale Garmin
9. Nippo Vini Fantini
10. Bardiani
11. Italy
12. RusVelo
13. Tiro
14. Colombia
16. Cult Energy
Ouch indeed. Bad move on my part.
Edit: Can someone help me understand the scoring for this stage? I find the description a bit confusing.

The @Ride_Argyle lost two riders in a high-speed crash in the @girodeltrentino TTT.
following it, says they're doing the TTT exclusively on twitter and the website will have live text tmrw.
something went wrong for Garmindale, 1st at the inter check, 4th at the finish. Bugger as I put 2 of them in today just for the TTT.
Surprise, surprise!
Bora - Argon 18 is leading Astana in the provisional standings and Cannondale-Garmin are sitting 4th after posting the fastest internediate time! 
Is there no live tv coverage of this race then? Just txt updates?
