3 Fantasy Tour De France Games
There are three fantasy TDF games I play every year and will be again - one isn't up yet until next week. All varying levels of commitment needed. But I've set up DS Mini-League's in them, if anybody fancies joining.
If your worry is having to devote time after every stage, then fear not - one of these games is ideal. The first has a high level of commitment, the second medium and the last, none at all once it starts. 1) http://fantasy.cyclingnews.com/default.aspx DS League - Password Digital. Pick 9 riders (plus a team and a stage). Six transfers per week, over 3 and a bit weeks, so needs a few minutes research and time after each stage. 2) http://nbcfantasy.stats.com/cycling/index.asp Not up yet, will set up league next week. Decent game, but American so don't think we can be eligible for the prizes but fine to enter. Medium level of commitment. Pick 15 riders, no changes at all once it starts. Pick 9 from those 15 each stage. 3) http://www.velogames.com/ League Name: DS League League Code: 19231110 Simple as you can get. Pick 9 riders, before the start. That's your lot. |

![]() Up to 7 now (would have been 8 but i dont think they are going to accept me in one of them )It's exactly the same game, same company just running it via the cycling news forum. Just done the Velogames teams in a couple of hours research tonight. If nobody drops out, I'll leave that team as it is - one less to worry about in the week. I play the main CQ game too on here - four is enough for me! Well add to that the team for the missus and my boy which I add my input on. Let's hope the laptop holds out for the next month. Some decent prizes on all of them. |

Ones pick and leave like Velogames and theres ones with transfers. My knowledge is still raw especially when it comes to stages(i rely on betting each day for clues)so ones where i have to do transfers where theres rounds(block of stages)i struggle. ![]() Forgot theres the Prediction Game too.Pick each day

That wipes out about 50%.of riders and most of Sky, BMC, Katusha, Saxo, Omega etc. In most teams youre really after their 1st or 2nd string GC guy or their lead sprinter apart from the odd stage hunter which is often a wild guess. |

Hi, the top game of these three (which is the best) has a Friday afternoon deadline, so really need to be sorting the first stage side out tomorrow.

Just accepted two more entries, then another was waiting - 8 of us into the main game now (No 1). Should be good fun, best of all the games and actually quite easy money-wise to get a decent team each stage, on paper at least.
I've got my bonus stage tomorrow. |
