Ducati Monster Forum

Hi all,

A couple of years ago I was playing motogpmanager to make the racing a bit more interesting, but that site has bitten the dust.

I have found a new site that is similar, http://www.fantasyriders.com/ (http://www.fantasyriders.com/) you get a set amount of cash to buy 2 riders in each of MotoGP, SBK and BSB.

Depending on the option's you select when setting up the team, and how well you do (to earn money) you can swap riders though the season.

As I said, it covers MotoGP, SBK and BSB. So it might not be everyones cup of tea, but is anyone interested in a Oz Monsters comp?  (we have obviously missed the first round of the SBK's)

BTW, it's free to enter.

 in  [thumbsup]

oh, and probably a good thing we've ,missed the 1st wsbk round - there is no way I would have picked some of those results..

OK, I've set it up. Go to http://www.fantasyriders.com/ (http://www.fantasyriders.com/) and register, you will have the option to join a Personal League and enter the League Number. Full details are:

League Type      : Public
League Name      : Oz Monsters
League Number    : 80108
League Password  : Not Applicable
Description      : Oz Monsters of the DMF


How to Play

There are 3 options when creating your Fantasy Riders team in 2010.

Strategy 1 - a starting budget of 60.0m, but no transfers permitted during the season.
Strategy 2 - a starting budget of 50.0m, and up to 10 transfers permitted during the season.
Strategy 3 - a starting budget of 45.0m, and up to 20 transfers permitted during the season.

When creating your team you will be presented with these 3 options. Once selected, you are unable to switch strategies so choose carefully!!!

Once you have decided which strategy to adopt, you will be able to spend up to 20.0 in any one series. Your choice of riders will be influenced by their fictitious 'price' which has been assigned to each of them for the purpose of this competition.

By definition, a transfer is required when removing a rider from your team that is still racing in that series. All players can add riders to their team without penalty, regardless of the number of transfers available. If your rider is released, replaced, or injured, all players will be able to remove that rider from their team without penalty, allowing you to transfer them out and spend the money on a new rider. You will not 'automatically' score points for their replacement rider - it is down to you to make that change. This applies to all strategies.

All selected riders will score points for your team based on their performance in each race, as set out on the 'How to Score' page.

At a point later in the racing calendar, all teams will receive a 'budget boost' allowing them to add further riders to their team. Full details will appear here shortly.

Please note that the 'cut-off' for any changes is typically 17:00 UK time on the Friday before each race weekend. Any changes (or new entries) will be prohibited until after the completion of the race.

Okay I'm in, not really sure what I'm doing but lets have some fun.

That's the spirit Matty.

Reg'd and ready, picked 3 riders one was by accident.
Got the first round of WSBK today, Thanks Goldie will watch before I pick rider No.2

World SBK is on this weekend. It's going to be the first race of the OZ DMF comp.

It's not too late to join in :D

excellent - me and the missus are in! cant wait for the racing...

OK, we have had our first round after the SBK race in Portimão last night, and there is already a big spread in the field. What hapened Matty, did Bull Racing forget to choose 2 SBK riders?

1st      HCG Racing             90   
2nd     Underwater Corsa     66   
3rd      Coral Corse             10   
4th      Bull Racing              1   

As you can see, you can still enter and you've got an easy chance of beating Matty ;)

yep exactly, didn't choose in time.

matty, gotta hate it when my missus is beatin you!

It's just Rd#2
I'll catch up..... maybe!

and after the 1st BSB round, things are already starting to get interesting...

1st   Underwater Corsa  107
2nd   HCG Racing          101
3rd   Coral Corse          51
4th   Bull Racing           20
5th   Team Terribad      0

Oh and by the way I joined Formula 1 also.
Really have no idea about BSB. Least I'm not last and only just behind 3rd place.

Thanks for the BSB update Goldfish, I have been away for Easter.

The BSB stuff is just a total guess for me too, no idea. But we have the first MotoGP tonight, so I hope everyone has their team setup.

After a big weekend of racing with MotoGP and SBK we have a pretty good comp going, well as best we can with 5 entries. Theres a couple of battles brewing for 1st and 3rd already (I should replace Rusty on 10).

The leaderboard:

1st   HCG Racing              200
2nd   Underwater Corsa     174
3rd   Bull Racing                 87
4th   Coral Corse                76
5th   Team Terribad             0

BSB is on this weekend, then another MotoGP / SBK double header Anzac Day Weekend.

I was down the country for the long weekend visiting my new neice so I missed it, :( , but it sounds like Assen was a hoot of a race.

The top 3 also managed to get an identical 48 points each for the round, so nows probably the time to be looking at reviewing some of your riders. Knowing me if I do that i'll go backwards.

As you can see Team Terribad is off to a slow start.......

The leaderboard:

1st   HCG Racing              293
2nd   Underwater Corsa     222
3rd   Bull Racing               155
4th   Coral Corse                83
5th   Team Terribad             0

Next race is MotoGP May 2nd at Jerez, then the BSB at Oulton Park on the 3rd.

Hey guys this looks intresting! Anychance of joining late???

In the world of Motorcycle racing...i get round ;)

I'm sure you can join late, moving past Team Terribad wouldn't be a difficult job.  [cheeky] [cheeky]

Ok Matty im in,Im the 6th team

Team....NipplesMcGee
 [thumbsup]

Hopefully i exceed all my expectations!

Cant wait what a cool idea :)

Welcome aboard HCiJL, I see you're already off to a good start and moved ahead of Team Terribad already, good effort ;)

A couple of teams are suffering due to lack of BSB riders (who is James Ellison?). I'll have to do a countback at the end of the season to find the top 3 in each dicipline.

The leaderboard:

1st   HCG Racing              341
2nd   Underwater Corsa     238
3rd   Bull Racing               191
4th   Coral Corse              108
5th   Nipples McGee            43
6th   Team Terribad             0

Who knows who rides in BSB, I now none of the names ???

BSB is a fanatsic pathway to bigger and better things in terms of racing.

You just got to look at the wss wsbk paddock and the like of Crutchlow,Rea,Haslam,Bryne,Davies,Camier,Andrews,Sykes,
Toesland and then theres the others like Guintoli,haga,Kagayama,Muggeridge,Bayliss and Kyionari!

In BSB the aussies are well represented with all round awesome guy Josh Brookes,Who has won a few wss races when we dominated wss with the likes of Pitty(champion) Parkes, and Muggers!

I like my chances with the bsb ;)

What I should have said is that I have no way of watching them so picking riders is a bit difficult.

Eurosport matty do you have foxtel???.
Also on the bsb forum they have video thread for most rounds. [thumbsup]

nup no foxtel, refuse to pay for tv when I get enough on free to air.
I've read up on BSB in AMCN so I'll try to pick again for next round.

You cant go wrong with Tommy Hill matty!
Or if your feeling patriotic Josh Brookes

yep but it's a $$$ situation, running out

matty, send 'em back and recoup your $$$ for the next rider...

OK I'm playing this week. You are all in *big* trouble now  [moto]

:-)

Im planing on smashing my rivals on the back wheel  ;D

After the SBC at Kyalami Craigo's now got some points on the board  [beer]

Showing Kyalami's score and the total:

1st     HCG Racing            70   498 
2nd    Underwater Corsa    72   350 
3rd     Bull Racing             51   282 
4th     Coral Corse            33   150 
5th     NipplesMcGee         31     74 
6th     Team Terribad        54     54

Im not doing too bad considering i started a bit late!

Im getting there oh and well done craigo! [thumbsup]

I've fallen behind again. Went to my now brother-in-laws bucks party a month ago, just getting my vision back now ;) alcohol is evil  [evil]

OK, so we had 3 more races since I was last on, updates below. Good luck for tonight, I hope no one has Rossi in their team - can you still change?


                  Le Mans (Moto GP)     Cadwell Park (BSB)    Salt Lake City (SBK)     TOTAL
1st HCG Racing            31                     36                       70                          635 
2nd Underwater Corsa   30                     24                       70                          474 
3rd Bull Racing               6                     53                       53                          394 
4th Coral Corse            24                     68                       70                          312 
5th NipplesMcGee         25                     60                       10                          169 
6th Team Terribad         9                     57                        42                          162 

About time for an update. Nipples McGee hasn't lived up to his own hype and has fallen back to last possie, but we'll give him a break as he was a late entrant. HCG (me) is under pressure from Underwater Corsa, so I had better pull my finger out, it could be a tight contest for first. Bull racing has slipped to 4th due to some good results from Coral Corse.

1st HCG Racing                 1054
2nd Underwater Corsa         918
3rd Coral Corse                  749
4th Bull Racing                   704          
5th Team Terribad              648
6th Nipples McGee              529
                  

1st HCG Racing           1104
2nd Underwater Corsa   968
3rd Coral Corse            799
4th Bull Racing             759
5th Team Terribad        698
6th NipplesMcGee         569

Updated today!

Okay, I have made some mid year changes.
Refreshed the line-up to make a run at the top 3.
