Having a look at the league.

A few (/ sarc big rabbit ears) changes have taken place that leave v.little resemblance to what the standings were after the first weekend.

I am completely lost now, as nothing seems to make any sense.

Am I wrong?

I have no idea whether the points are correct now but at least I have some. They told me to use this weeks change option to sort out their failure to set my riders correctly from the kick off. Well, as I said to them, it is only a game after all.

You are now, welcome :) .

Agreed, I'm now 2nd in the league which bears no resemblance to reality. I swapped Alex Lowes for Van Der Mark after the first race and I think they're now counting it as if I had from the start of the season.

Can't get my head round the fact that the captain gets double points and you will have the option to change 2 of your team in the week preceding every race, talk about time consuming, the format has been changed and for me not for the better


For a challenging summer try the

You would have thought that they would limit the total number of changes.

Seen today, my account on MCN Fantasy League.

Pleasant surprise to see climbing position, but total confusion when looking at the figures.

At best, poorly executed user interface, worst, still completely bolloxed.  :dunno:

 

Oh, it appears that I still have two transfers available.

Strange that.

Because I re-shuffled my team a day ago and the changes still stand.

 

So it looks like you can game the 2x transfers limitation, if you can get your early shuffle in before the referees apply the weekends points to the previous team selections for that weekend.

Quality.

 

I will try and take advantage of this when it comes to maxing out my selection for BSB.

We will see.

I thought our teams would be accessible only to the manager. However, working 'back' from being 'logged in' to not being so, I have managed to get into the leaders of the competition teams! I wonder if I could have changed their riders!!! If anyone wants to know their teams just ask. They are playing the '2 changes' for all they are worth (as I thought I would, rather late). The site is not to be trusted at all (IMHO).

Looking on the MCN forums, it's obviopus everyone has major problems. It appears the providers of the Fantasy League website has changed this year to a new company who clearly are not competent :punishment: . Hopefully this will get sorted. Or abandoned.  :rant:

Seeeeeee,..................    :banana:  ......................feel the aspergers

I reckon the developers weren't around to hold the customers hand over the first few rounds and they enlisted a headless monkey to do the simple data entry then hit the return key.

The Savadori incident was a case that could not have been anticipated, but would have been, by a competant pro.

The operators carried on like headless chickens, because they had v. little idea of how the system was built

Looks like the competitor/team/league databases have been locked down now (big error that was) and it may not be possible to exploit the 2x + 2x transfer trick again.

Let me know if you have any luck , as it looks like I've missed the boat this week.

Well, got my Carpe league points into place. But no captain points added yet. Must be patient.....

Shhhh!

I just did the sneaky rider shuffle again last nite.  :P

 

EDIT

Checked 12hrs later and changes still stand. The transfer database records the transfers dates/times, but the actions bear no relation to the rules.

I no longer care. lol  :punishment:

 

It seems that the first round of changes I made over a week ago have been glossed over.

The deadline for Argentina/Spain is 01/02 April, so this second round of changes seems set to count toward this coming weekends action. (fingers crossed/counting chickens)

 

Currently £1.3m spare.

So Kiyonari will make Silverstone.  :ph34r:

I've received an email, as should all participants in the MCN Fantasy League from the website host company saying they've fixed the problems with points being incorrectly awarded and everything should be tickety-boo. I'm not sure how I'd go about checking that, but you might want to look at your scores and see if they've changed.

I just looked and found that not one of 'My Team' members has scored a single point this season! On the other hand, my Carpe league score seems unchanged. But then I have received no email yet. I think it is still a complete mess. Seeing that the icon is still a football, I wonder if Ozil from my wife's football team is scoring me more points than Rossi. Nonetheless, I am carrying on regardless and in good humour.... Something must be right though because QM has all but disappeared over the horizon again. Keep up the challenge, Chris.

I noticed a change, but wouldn't know where to start with back checking.

We're too far down the rabbit hole now, which is why I threw moi toys out of the pram on day one.

I understood that everything has to be nailed down from the start.

I have noticed though, that the front end website still has loads of "dead-zones" that are non functional.

Wonders how much they get paid to provide this service.

Carrying on.

Huh.

 

Just gained another 59 pts.

 

Trouble is, the last race meeting was Sunday week, eight days ago.

 

Must be my winning smile.

 

Oh yes. While we're here.

 

How comes I've not been awarded any transfer slots for next weekend?!?!

 

Or is this practice for fudging the Brexit vote.
