2008 Fantasy Team Rules

The rules are pretty simple. You pick a name for your team, 20-28 riders from any of the riders who scored Pro Tour points last year, and have a total number of points for your team not more than 1,200 (like a salary cap). You must pick at least 20 riders and no more than 28. Pro Tour points for each rider are based upon the end of season standings from 2007 and can be found here:

Michel van Musschenbroek has designed a spreadsheet with all the riders and their points to help you pick a team. It makes it very easy. 2008 Fantasy Worksheet

IMPORTANT – Each rider will cost you a minimum of 10 points, therefore riders having earned less than 10 points last year will still cost you 10 points in your calculations. You may pick riders who are not on the list because they didn't earn any Pro Tour points last year or were not on a ProTour team at the end of 2007, however they will cost you 75 points to pick them (go to bottom of spreadsheet).

The three Grand Tours, Pro Tour and 2.HC stage races used last year (including individual stages except in 2.HC races) and single day races down to the 1.1 category are included. Essentially the same races as last year plus the Tour of California and Tour of Georgia. Points will be given based upon the UCI system (www.uci.ch) and the system we used last year for non-Pro Tour races (see UCI Point Scale sheet in last year's Excel file).

The final day for submission of your team is February 17, 2008 but you can change your team as often as you like up until then.

Please send your name, email address, team name and rider list to mowens61[at]gmail.com. It is easiest to just save the Excel file as yourname.xls and send it to me.
