Welcome, one and all, to the 2018 Vital MX Supercross Fantasy League! This league will be run in more of a traditional format, although it will be a bit different from most of the other fantasy sites. Keep reading to find out all of the info you need to know.

Quick Hits
- It's free
- Easy to play, no upkeep
- Traditional roster style format
- Adds a bit more spice to your Vital Bench Racing experience

Format
This league will not run on the "pick new riders every week" format that a lot of SX/MX leagues use. You will choose a roster based on the guidelines we've laid out below, and that will be your team for the entire season. Not only does this make it more interesting, but you won't have to worry about getting all of your picks in each week. You just have to check back and see how you did, and then maybe discuss each week's results with others.

Scores will be calculated and standings will be updated every week. It should be noted that, while I'm pleased to be running this, I am a full-time college student in addition to working for Vital, so standings may be updated on Sunday or they may be updated on Thursday; the point is it may not always be the same day, but the standings will be updated before the next round.

Scoring
Each rider on your team earns the exact same amount of points for this league as they do in real life. So, for example, if you have Eli Tomac on your team, and he wins a main event, you get 26 points just like he does. If he gets 22nd and earns one point, so do you.



There will also be opportunities for bonus points, though, and you can check 'em out below:

- Fastest Qualifier (250 & 450) = 1 Bonus Point
- Heat Race Win (250 & 450) = 1 Bonus Point
- Holeshot (250 & 450) = 1 Bonus Point
- 450 Tier B rider gets on the podium = 2 Bonus Points
- 450 Tier C rider gets inside the top five = 3 Bonus Points
- 250 Tier B rider gets on the podium = 2 Bonus Points

Roster Selection
An easy way to look at how you will select your roster is that you are the manager of a 450/250 factory team, and you need to fill up your roster according to your budget. Your budget allows for a certain amount of riders from each "tier", so you have to pick who you think will do the best from the riders that are available.

It should be noted that while you can split up your 250 riders based on the coasts they are predicted to race on, you do not have to. You can pick all of your 250 riders from the same coast if you want to. You can also pick one rider who is predicted to race West and three riders who are predicted to race East. It's up to you.

You also have the opportunity to pick a fill-in rider for each class. This rider will hop into one of your spots if a rider gets hurt. If multiple of your riders get injured, you're going to be stuck with at least one vacancy.

The roster selection breakdown is as follows:

- 1 rider from 450 Tier A
- 1 rider from 450 Tier B
- 1 rider from 450 Tier C
- 1 fill-in rider from 450 Tier C
- 2 riders from 250 Tier A
- 2 riders from 250 Tier B
- 1 fill-in rider from 250 Tier B

You must have your roster selection posted in this thread by 9 PM PST on January 5th. No exceptions, because that is the day I will build the final spreadsheets that I will use for scoring. See a sample roster selection post here:

Standings
There will be three lists of standings: 250, 450, and combined 250 and 450. Both 250 coasts will be combined into one list, so making sure that you have evenly split up your 250 riders is not required.

If there is a tie at the end of the year, I'll go down the list of how many rounds each person won, podiumed, and then move on from there. If it is a dead tie, because they had virtually the same roster or some other weird situation, it will probably go to who posted their roster first.

Prizes
I plan on giving the champion of each class a virtual number one plate to display on their virtual shelf. It's not much, but hey, this is a free league. You also get a whole year to brag if you win; sounds pretty good to us!

If you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them. Otherwise, good luck!

You should give someone a free Premium VitalMX Membership... I know I enjoy it much more than the regular membership, the price is a bit steep though.PinchAngry

EDIT: I Have to renew my subscription, do I still send the money to the Cayman Islands account Gibby?
