A couple of riders were added this morning, such as Thomas Ramette and Josh Hill.

Also, Grant Harlan is out so there's a little medical icon next to him, that's an injured icon. Be aware of those.
 

I thought Josh was not racing?

Saw a post this morning that suggest he’s in last min.

I have 9 also…. Curious to see how that strategy plays out.  I also picked a few 250 long shots as I think it will be easier to find the diamond in the rough there.

9 riders with just 2 of them being 250 guys.  That may be backwards to what the split should be but I'm more uncertain how the 250 class is going to shake out.

So how are points earned?  The "how to play" section just says after the race the scores will be added up and highest score wins."  Well is it 20 pts for first, 19 for second, etc.?

Quick question do you use your entire budget each week?? Or have a little budget remaining after you pick your riders?

Crod117 has a legitimate question 

I picked one from 450 and one from 250

Is the 1 MILL for the whole season as in spent each week till the Mill is gone?

Or do you have a Mill every week to spend?

Read through the rules and didn't see this addressed.

Allotted budget from what is left from last round?

From the 1Mill season beginning?

Or from what is left in your Allotted account.?

You spend 700,000 on your A1 prospects, Does that mean you have 300,000 left rest of season?

Or does that mean the 300,000 is added to your account next event? (You win 1mill+ 300,000)

Is it a wash every weekend and you get the 1 Mill to spend again?

That simple

Anaheim 1 is open for picks. There will be some stragglers added on Friday morning when the final entry list comes out but the big players are all in there.

It's fairly simple, you have a budget, riders cost money, and the riders score your team the same points they do in real life. Restrictions are minor, stay within budget and you have to at least pick one rider from each class. Other than that, have at it!

A couple of things, yes, the game is free but there's a pay option. The free portion of the game makes you eligible for prizes (in all 50 states, and even internationally if you want to pay for the shipping and we can make it happen). The game is in its basic configuration then. If opt for the $10 add-on, you can create private leagues, see more data on the racers, and see live pick trends before the race starts. We'll also keep adding to the paid option as it goes on. Paying will not change what prizes you're eligible for etc, it's just to gain some cool features and support us. I'll have the full prize list tomorrow as I'm just wrapping it up, but we have goodies suchs as Troy Lee Designs gear and helmets, DeCal Works graphics kits, FMF exhausts and causal, Luxon triple clamps, Arai helmets, 100% goggles, Mika Metals bars and grips, EVS knee pads, GUTS Racing seat covers and complete seats, Eagle Grit cleaning supplies, DT-1 air filters, Engine Ice coolant, and more! 

Also a note about private leagues, it says to add a password but if you leave that area blank, it'll be an open league and won't require a password to have others join.

Lemme know if you have any questions.

I like it, very similar to one we once ran on Fullnoise for the Australian domestic series. Giving a money value to each rider and then letting people selecting as many riders as they can under that budget.

Have my 9 rider team locked in for round 1.

The budget resets every weekend, I can also change the budget any week I want.

The points earned are the same as the riders earn in the actual race.

I also picked 9 riders, but from playing with imaginary results, I THINK getting the top performers is the way to go.

 

It's also real tempting to go 250 heavy since the 450 is "the deepest field ever", one bad start could drop your +20 point guy to less than 10

GPT4 has chosen my team.. lets see how that goes: 

 

This selection totals $995,000, leaving $5,000 remaining from your budget. The team consists of a mix of high-scoring recent performers and some value picks based on their points-to-cost ratio. This diversified approach could maximize your chances of a high overall score.

I did the same thing. Picks look good to me. I will revise after what I see on Race Day Live.

That's the number one mistake to make in Fantasy....never change your team after qualifying. Woohoo

I am actually trying to get it to pick for 990,- and then pick best rated 10k rider so I get a 10 rider lineup... but she is struggeling with the recalculation.. 

It seems I've encountered a hiccup in the calculation. Adjusting a fantasy team while maintaining strict budget constraints and ensuring the highest potential for points can sometimes be a bit of a puzzle. Let's try again, methodically replacing the current selection with riders who will allow us to meet the $990,000 target, leaving room for your $10,000 wildcard. I'll refine the strategy and provide you with an updated lineup

Started a league and I can’t see who’s in my league… is there a way to see the players that have joined my league? Thanks

Laughing Isn't it kind of a numbers game ?   I changed my pics after watching the press day stuff.   10 riders now, remaining balance zero.

If you're on desktop, you can see your fantasy ranking under your profile stats. I'm 31st with 124 points.

4 of my 8 riders had 1 point combined. Thrasher, Friese, and Hunter screwed me, I figured Nagy was a longshot.
