Game rules
BACK TO GAMEBefore you can participate to this game, you need to be registered with Zweeler Ltd. Once registered for one of the games, you can play them all!!
After registration you can start creating your team(s). The teams can be submitted and changed until the start of the game on Thursday 11 February 2021 11:40.
You need to select 35 riders from 8 groups. For example, you may choose 3 riders from group A which exists from Wout van Aert, Julian Alaphilippe, Egan Bernal, Remco Evenepoel, Tadej Pogacar and Primoz Roglic. The total of riders per group can be found under the rules header of this page.
The riders which you select can score points for your team throughout the whole year. In total there are 55 races which count for this Fantasy Cycling Year Game. These races are divided between Tour and Classics. With both the Tour and Classics there are 3 categories. The Giro, Tour de France and Vuelta are category 1. Races like Tirreno-Adriatico, Critérium du Dauphiné and the BinckBank Tour are in category 2 and the Deutschland Tour and the Tour of Britain are category 3. With the Classics we also have 3 categories.
The total of points which you can earn in every category can be found below the header "Points". We will give you 2 examples: You selected Alejandro Valverde and Chris Froome for your team. When Valverde finishes 5th in the general classification of the Tour de France (Tour cat. 1) and Froome wins the Tour de France, you will receive 90 points for Valverde and 180 points for Froome.
Suppose you created a second team with Peter Sagan and Daniel Martin. In La Flèche Wallonne (Classics Cat. 2) Martin becomes 2nd and Sagan 23rd, in this case you will get 60 points for Martin and 0 points for Sagan. In the Classics Cat. 2 only the top 20 scores points for your team.
Moreover, you fill in the following predictions:
- Winner Giro d'Italia
- Winner Tour de France
- Winner Vuelta a España
The points for the extra predictions only count for the general classification and not for the Tour classification.
