The Score ranking screen appears to show cumulative score of al the races a user entered.

Is it possible to view Score ranking by race (i.e. score for Criterium du Dauphine only)?

Thx

For each rider? The 'Overall' score is total points scored over a 12 month period. 'This Tour' is what they will score when the race starts. It's not possible to look at what was scored last year, and the line-up is different. I suggest looking here: https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/dauphine/2018/gc for how the race went last year, and then get involved in the race thread on the forum for what others think.

Hello,

I have a question about the scoring. Is there bonus points at the end of the grand tours for overall? So extra points for actually winning the yellow jersey for instance. Or is it just the same points for finishing a stage in the jersey? 

Thanks.

Just stage points for jerseys.  Nothing extra at the end.

Hello ... other than the Scoring info detailed in http://fantasy.road.cc/howto, is there a supplemental scoring rules?

Just the two below as an example, I can't account for the additional points

After stage 1 of 2019, Sagan earns 58 points.  He received 30 points for 2nd place, 6 points for intermediate sprint win.  where did 22 additional points come from? 

Wout van Aert earned 13 points; 5 points for 16th place plus 5 points for being on same team as stage winner.  Can't seem to account for the 3 additional points.

Thanks!

The top 15 riders score points in intermediate sprints in TdF game, an important thing to remember, sprinters can score on climbing stages if the int sprint is early.

Riders also score points for the GC, Points, Mountains, Young Rider clasifications at the ned of each stage.

Sagan scored 30(stage) + 15(int sprint) +9(GC) +4(points comp.) = 58

Van Aert scored 5(stage) + 5(winners team) + 3(young rider comp.) = 13

Without checking results, I think it might be for intermediate sprints?

Always check on each stage for exact scoring rules...

ie. http://fantasy.road.cc/stages?sid=10484

Thanks teckert and MinardiM189.  I was not aware that stage rules are noted under each stage ... am now.  Thanks again.

hello there, is there a way of seeing the points scored per rider or per team in each of the scoring categories rather than the overall total e.g. you can see only the points scored in the kom competition?

This is a question I also have!  Would there be a way to see the categorical breakdown of the stage points? (race totals would be nice as well)

Seems like that should/would be a very functional part to have here...and perhaps I'm just missing it? 

Thanks!

Hi. Help a newbie. Very confused on scoring. In rules says points for GC place from 1st to 15th. But Bernal for example scores 0 even though 7th? Doesnt seem to be any benefit having GC riders in team. More stage winners and jersey wearers only seem to score. Can anyone explain?

Looks like Bernal has 9 pts from the stage.  Well thats what I got in purist. It should be the same throughout.

Hi, im a newbie, how do you select a team for the vuelta? Its not showing as current yet? Cheers

Sometimes games arent opened til a few days beforehand as teams dont finalise their squads too quickly...

The game will be opened soon and you will see it available to join on the main dashboard. If you have enabled game emails you will also get a notification of it opening.

Not sure who to direct this to...so to whoever.

Not been able to post much for weeks and haven’t known why until last night. It would seem I have been defaulting to something called “Rich text editor” on the forum which my IPad really doesn’t seem to like...and makes posting hard work...if at all. Don’t known if it’s something I have got set wrong on my iPad that makes in incompatible or maybe if it can be removed at your end. Maybe some others have had the same problem. 

Any thoughts?

 

You are able to switch between plain text and rich text editor just underneath the comment box.

Rich text just allows you to have more features like bold and underline  or in italics or insert links and emojis , while the plain text editor is a basic editor. 

Not sure why your ipad would not let you use the rich text editor though. I've still got an old 4th gen and its fine. You'l just have to keep it as the plain text.

Apologies, I was not clear with my question.  I was referring to score per user in a specific league.

I do see the rider score under "This Tour" under Rider Rankings, but I wanted to see user score for CdD per leauge for comparison purposes.  After navigating the site further, I now see that user scores are all zeroes, suggesting that user score is reset to zero for a given race per leauge.

It’s very old....or at least the operating system is. I have a son with Down Syndrome who gets really upset if we update systems on his iPad or computer (he needs everything the same)...consequently the iPad (IOS)  I was using doesn’t even support the very old operating system anymore because it’s so out of date....so I actually have many issues. It’s fine now I know what was wrong...basically it struggled with whatever drives the rich txt editor. Oddly now that I know what it is and have changed it once or twice it actually works again when I change it back to rich text.

yes, in my league, some people are doing purist and standard, and their score shows cumulative total, against other people who are just doing standard. Is it possible to just show standard scores for any players in a league, so we can get real comparison?

The only thing I can think of for this is to alter the league options. Whoever set up the league can edit the league options to only include certain types of races and they can turn off purist if they want. Then it might be a good idea to have two leagues, one for standard and one for purist/total.

Rules say 1st to 10th score for GC riders, 1st to 5th for other jerseys. Bernal scored for GC and white jersey competition yesterday.
