    in setting up my team, I noticed that they zeroed out all of the leagues. I recreated the VFR_Riders league, make sure you join.

    Also, make sure you select TEAM CAPTAINS for WSBK week 1

    dammit, I ran out of cash and had to pick people I never heard of... I have no idea how I will do on this thing now. They don't even show what color helmets these guys are wearing... How am I supposed to know how fast they are without seeing their helmet...

    Well I am not Mr Expert Fantasy League Guy either Reggie, so dont feel too bad.

    You can look up their helmet colors, just not at that site heeheeee.

    Looks like you can drop one rider and replace him once a month, unfortunately you still have to stay on budget, but I suppose that will help if your guy is out injured, etc.

    Obviously, picking anyone outside the Fab Four in Motogp with the exception of maybe Spies isnt goint to score you much there, but Moto2 should be very interesting and more wide open. Scoring well in 125 most likely will take someone with geek level knowledge of up and coming Euro kid riders. My bet is the guy that gets Moto2 right will rack up the points.

    WSBK may be a chance for someone to score well, what with some new riders mixed in with the old warhorses.

    Biggest problem I have with Supersport is I am a fan of Kennan Sofoglu and Chaz Davies and theyre both expensive and you can only pick one heeheheheh

    The Brits may be a chance for people to clean up, and some of the folks on the forums have decided to spend their money there. Neil Hodgons racing there and has a big fanbase but is a bit long in the tooth.

    There has been lots of moving around among riders this year from class to class at all levels, so I imagine everone will have a bit of hard time picking, but your helmet color method will most likely do as well as my carefully thought out think I may know something but I dont method. Plus, your method has the advantage of full deniability at seasons end, whereas mine will just make me look like a dumbass. The consolation is no one can beat me at that.

    let me clairify.
    I got the riders and picking them for each race, what I don't get is the building the team thing. What effect does picking guys for your team do and the transfers????
    Do you get extra points if they finish well? as you do better thru out the season does your buget go up? that kind of stuff.
    Bueller Bueller, anyone? anyone?

    the picks you made were for the season (you can still change). Every month you can change out -1- rider (usually reserved for injuries) on your team providing you have the budget. Every week you pick captains (which may or may not be on your team) for a race to determine pole position, first-third for BONUS points. the site does all the math and tracking.

    Well, I used a little tongue and got a little handsy... We were in the car so there wasn't a whole lot of space but we made out pretty well I'd say.

    My man Jonny Rea decided he would rather go check out the landscaping for a minute in Race 2, he did come back and finish very well, but not as well as Race 1. Too bad the site counts Race 2 heehehehe

    I really went back and forth on rather I liked Haslam, Nori or Rea better for the money. Looks like this time I backed it wrong....its still early though. Im sticking with Jonny.

    37pts

    Wish I could get the captain thing right, thats where you rack up some big points.

    Wow, I am turning into a geek.
