Deep fantasy league (WT+HC)

I'd like to invite you to participate in a rather original project. It is an independent fantasy competition in which you control one WorldTour team, sign riders to long-term contracts via auctions, then designate 8/9 riders for every race and score points based on the real-life outcome. Pretty much makes you feel like a real team owner.
This started in January 2012. As we enter year 2, we're 16 people from all around the world, but we'd like to find more cycling fans to join the fun. Next week we'll hold an expansion draft for any new managers. This is officially the last opportunity to join before the 2013 season.
If you'd like to try it out, sign up here:

It's relatively light and low maintenance, but we're having a lot of fun!
Wanna join for year 3? Free agent auctions and a neo-pro draft begin November 1.

Is it more detailed than our road.cc league as I find that complicated enough.

I don't know yet Jimmy, not had any details through. I'll keep you posted.
An auction starts on 14th November where you bid on total contract value against each other so no two teams can have the same rider. There is also an auction of neo-pros to supplement your team for cheapos at the end.
Points are based on Cycling Quotient scores.
It looks really interesting actually and something to do in the offseason.
Then once you have your squad you pick per race as you do in the real world.
Every team has a 5m budget for salaries.
Looks like really good fun to be honest, the auction starts on 14th November so it provides something good to do in the offseason.
Roll up roll up. 2 teams left.
So in case you only follow le Tour de France, or if you're some perverted sadist only watching people hit the ground on wet cobblestones - we're not judging, so do join!
At least five completely separate mini leagues will take place in 2016: cobbles (E3, GW, RvV, PR), Ardennes (BP, AGR, FW, LBL), Giro, Tour, and Vuelta. Each will be preceded by a quick draft, with a salary cap in place, and individual salaries fixed depending on past CQ scores of each rider. Again, feel free to join just one, or some more.
The cobbled season starts soon, please sign up here if interested: http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=255651.0
We're coming back stronger than ever. A community of 20 fantastic personalities, and always looking for more cycling die-hards to join us on the dark side, participating in one or more of our fantasy leagues
On the menu in 2017:
- UCI WorldTour aka the main league: big teams, long contracts, neo-pro draft, 500 auctions every November.
- Rainbow Cup: straight up snake draft of all cyclists, but their price is fixed based on past results.
- Country Roads: not one, but nine drafts, as all riders get divided into separate pools: sprinters, puncheurs, GC men etc.
- Quick Fix: a series of 5 mini-leagues (cobbles, Ardennes, 3x GT) where you have to guess the next dominant force some weeks before the proceedings.
- Fine Young Cannibals: new league, focusing on finding fresh talent, a combination of auctions and extensions.
- Wall Street Cycling: another new idea, and the only league where you can make big changes overnight. You auction riders very shortly before every big race, and get rewarded/penalized instantly based on the investment/result ratio.
Please note I'm not around here very often, so in order to join you MUST sign up to ProFSL and contact me there using the links you'll find in my opening post. (Everything's free, btw.)
If interested, please make the leap of faith: create a free ProFSL account and PM me there. Cheers!
1. In Wall Street Cycling we hold a bunch of intense auctions on the evening before each WT race, and once you secured a rider by betting the highest, you'll score positive if his CQ score exceeds your bet, or negative if it's below: http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?board=3473
2. Life Behind Bars is a winner guessing game for anything you please, from TdF polka-dot jersey to a La Tropicale Amissa Bongo stage. Again, a wrong bet is worse off than not placing any, so cycling knowledge is more important than sheer activity: http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?board=3608
We have a couple of openings!
The other exciting news is that we conveniently upgraded to the ever-popular ProBoards, and thus you'll find the sign-up sheet here: http://fantasycycling.freeforums.net/th ... t-rule-all

When a pandemic keeps you indoors, why not join an original fantasy project?
We're starting the new season in 2 weeks.
