Halfords mini-league

scores up. I was crap.

No bad considering my scores dont seem to be moving at all

my lucky dip team isn't exactly upping the average

I reckon your road.cc team might be a lucky dip, but I could not find the option when I was picking my team. lol

I dont understand the scoring for it, as i had 3 of the top 6 in my team and it didnt seem to help my scoring, infact i just keep dropping down after being 2nd after the 1st satge (although that was my bonus stage)

Yeah i'm the same Sanderville, i've had 48 points since stage one and not moved for some reason, i think its a game where things are fixed and it will be a "no one" account that wins so they dont have to give away prizes, cause it is Halfords after all, i wouldn't go near them for anything bike related

Ok just checked it, my points have moved, there are 2 guys will full teams in the league still on 0 points

Dave, you might wanna go make a couple of transfers as you have 3 non riders

Okay i've *finally* made some changes to my team so i'll be swanning up the league now

How can my best league position be 551 and my current position 469 ???
Surely 469 is better than 551. . . .

At this rate they may need to give a bike to everyone !!

I find it takes a while for everything to get updated. Not as good as the roadcc game as well.

Re the Halfords game:
Anybody have any idea how to:
1.check your scores for a specific day
2.see how others did that day
3.see who won the daily prize

It's not good, is it?

even in the road.cc league i was 3rd yesterday and now having had 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th all in my team ive somehow managed to drop to 5th or something and my rank overall has dropped even further

im just confused by it

Finding transfers is a nightmare amongst other things. I think i'm maybe going to let it drop.

i guess so, but knowing me i will move up 2moro and have done rubbish

You're all enjoying *our* game though, right?

ye of course we are dave

it's not shocking, is more kind of low-rent awful.

Any chance the league admin can kick out the 0 scorer "Mostly Hopeless" cause that team is bringing the avg score in the league of leagues right down

It takes the avg score from 819 to 844, so its quite a jump and once the scores get higher, the jump will be higher again

I wish I'd known about this league before but presumably it's too late to start playing?

I like the game as a different easier alternative as you say (as I said before though the road cc game is good for the opposite reason of involving more tactics). The display and format is very good but the most annoying thing is that the league does not update at the same time as your score and nobody knows who was the best team of the day or week (who is winning the prizes) as these leagues don't update at all

You can only see the top twenty teams and if you picked riders who've gone out due to crashes it brings in a lot of luck with the final bonus points, (I've lost 3 which ruins my chances of anything). With transfers every day that can be dealt with in the road cc game. But I'm doing ok at it, about 130th last time I looked after my bonus stage on which I got 300 points! 3rd in the road cc league.

The road cc game though really makes you think about so many different aspects of cycling. It really does my head in!! Congrats to Dave for inventing it. Having to have 4 DSs is a masterstroke. My knowledge of cycling has probably gone up 10 times by playing it and it makes every aspect of the race interesting. I even care about intermediate sprint points, for God's sake!

It's crap, impersonal, has no discussion forum, is impossible to see how you did on a stage. Innacurate, stage 18 it said i had gotten no points, well I think A Schleck won for starters. Difficult to find riders, if I was garmin I would dissacociate myself. Position listed in mini league doesn't match the main league. The only good thing, the points per rider was obviously made up by a casual cycling observer, and there are bargains to be had. Who won all these prizes??? etc etc etc.
This here league is by far the best I have played and I have played several.

I ended up 6403rd. How did everyone else do?

i came 330th i believe so not too bad tbh
