Yup Johnny, Im sure Dave will read this, and take it on board, he does try and send out emails when things like that do happen

My change that I would have made wouldn't have made much difference in the grand scheme either, an extra 13 points but no change in my position overall.

Thank You Tera.
As not all of us live in Northern Hemi. I might check close time and see I have 30mins to do it when I get home from work, as norm close about 6/7pm here. If I think that and it gets moved an Hour and not told...
It surely can't be that hard to make a mailing list group?
Thank you again.

I pointed out last night in the Chongming thread that the California deadline appeared to be an hour after the race started. Did you change it without saying anything?

People seem to have lost the opportunity to make transfers. If this is what happened, will the results be nullified? If that's the fair course in the women's race, and I don't think it is, it should be the fair course here. Maybe I'm just confused, though.

All I can say is I didn't change anything, whether Dave did I can't comment. I was very tired this morning before work so the deadline may have been 5pm then. Either way the deadline closed before the stage started, and if it was changed it was different to that of the womens, race as moving it by 1 hour this morning, is a bit different than a womens race being 12 hours out. Like i say im not even sure it was moved if im honest. If you pointed it out last night and Dave changed it then, thats fair course, moving a deadline by an hour well in advance of the stage is fair course, again very different from the womens scenario.

If that affected you then I do apologise

It didn't affect me; thank you for your response. (I'd still like to have the Chongming results restored, though.)

Fair enough. One point, IF a change of deadline occurs with plenty of time to spare, is it possible to have an email sent round to all stating the change? The email generated to tell you when a rider you've picked is no longer in the roster has been a great addition, and if it could be extended to changed deadlines that would be great

In any event, my unchanged line-up went up two places! Go figure.

I even thought it was 6 too!

When I did some transfers earlier at 8.26ish, there was 9 hours 34 left, so im very confused.

Just got home from work and was about to bring in DVP for Dennis. Buggar! That could cost me big time!

You too? I don't normally get my maths wrong tbh. Was the deadline changed?

Not as far as i know, not by me, been at work all day, glad I made the 1 change earlier. Having said that I think the cut off time was correct.

Still not a good team for me, just 2 sprinters

Sagan
Degenkolb
Dennis
Yates
Craddock
Routley
Chaves
Machado
Stetina

Nice play, TER You beat Wig Billy! Did you have the space and transfers to have brought in a few more sprinters? You were so close to taking the whole thing!

I'm still lost on this, so the deadline wasn't (?) changed, or was it (?)?... I still don't get it this either, can you or can't you change deadlines? Can Gkam? Or is the only one who can change deadlines dave?

My team for today...

Joel, the way played this and the way you're playing the Giro I think you'll be up for 'Newbie of the Year' ! I wonder if Dave can come up with a ranking of people in the whole competition who have only joined in the last year? I'm pretty sure you'd be winning! Twy's new, too, right?

I entered a team in the Vuelta last year but didn't play it and got an average score of about 50 per stage accordingly, so really this is my first year. It would be good to get a prize, maybe an S-Works or something...
