How's everyone placed this week? I've just been posting on the badges thread. The influx of new and restarting players means that we now have 25 divisions (up from 20); and those five new divisions are packed with ringers :-) So if it feels like you're surrounded by people who are way better than you - don't panic. It'll settle down as they all move up the table, and you'll get your chance.

I've added a link from the game back to this thread, just to see if anyone will say anything ;-)

Still reflecting on my poor "Reset" decision.

Who knows, if I had stayed where I was in Div 7, I might have earned a Div 6 badge. Now, I'm going to be in Div 21 for a couple of months while everyone steams past me and, when I do get going, I'd be surprised if I reach Div 10 after the new speedsters have taken up their places near the top. Win some, lose some!

Today would be the perfect day to say "Who’s the more foolish: the fool or the fool who follows him?" ;)

I think I probably triggered the rush with the last paragraph from my 'new badges' blog. But I did offer a warning too...

Keen badge collectors may have already worked out that if you leave and rejoin, you can enjoy a profitable few weeks as you rise through the ranks back to your existing division. But it's also a bit of a gamble, especially if quite a few people join up too, as we may get a bit of a logjam at the bottom

Revelation to me that this is based on training not racing! So if I do a 2 mile TT quickly I can get points. Or just blast a 5 mile training run. Excellent. I haven't been racing for such a long time, so thought that's why I was tumbling down! :-) G

I made the change during lockdown, to give folks the opportunity to compete whilst there were no races. As someone who doesn't race much, it's great for me :-)

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
Start in the bottom division, and compete over seven different distances against your rivals for weekly promotion!

How It Works
1) The game takes your best times from training and racing over the last 12 months.

2) If you've got the fastest 5k in your division, you get 20 points. If you're second fastest, you get 19 points, etc.

3) Your FIVE best scores are used to calculate your total. So if your scores at each distance are 20,20,20,20,20,10,5 the lowest two are discarded, and your total points would be 100.

4) Promotion and relegation happen every Monday at midday.
