Cycling season 2022 OOC
« on: December 07, 2021, 10:28:07 PM »

After last year or so experience, I thought it could be more interesting to have cycling events with a more international dimension (also because my primary nation is not going to be that sport-oriented now). Basically, my idea is to have a (reasonable) number of one-day cycling events through the year, and maybe 1-2 stage races at some point (similar to "Tour of Jugland" and "Jugland's Ladies Tour" this year). So if you are interested to host a cycling event the coming year, you can apply filling the following form:

Quote
Name: (Name of the race)
Location: (Nation where the race would be held)
Type: One-day race / Stage race (Choose one)
Gender: Men's / Women's / Both (Choose one)
Season: Winter / Spring / Summer / Autumn / I don't mind (Choose one)
More info: (Any info about the race or the organizators you would like add)

A bit of explanation about the categories required, if needed:
  • Type of the race refers if your race is a one-day race (as road race cycling event at the Olympics), while stage races are road races consisting of several stages ridden consecutively with a general classification winner (such as the Tour de France in RL).
  • A bit self-explanatory, I guess, but Gender refers if your race is men's race, a women's race, or if you would be interested to have both races (it's not required to held both the same day, though, so you may indicate so if you wish).
  • Season simply refers which season of the year the race is usually held. You may consider RP considerations, of course (if your nation is too cold on Winter or too hot on Summer, for example, or any other circumstances)

Example:

Quote
Name: Albrektberg Classic
Location: Unitary State of Mktvartvelo
Type: One-day race
Gender: Women's
Season: Spring
More info: The Albrektberg Classic is a women's one-day cycling race held in the Free Autonomous Territory of Jugland, Mktvartvelo, since 2006. The race is organized by Jugland Sports Network (JSNN).

There are not issues with applying several cycling events for the same country, so you're free to do so. To keep things balanced, if they are accepted would depend on the number of people interested and other RP-based considerations. You may consider population and geographic limitations (or other RP situations going on in your nation).

Although I'm allowing application for stage race events, but their number is going to be much greatly limited and particuarly subject to both RP and OOC considerations, so you may keep in mind that.



Of course, if you have any suggestion or better ideas, those will be welcomed.  :)

The deadline for applications to host a cycling event will be January 10, 2022.




For those who would be interested to participate but find a bit tedious to apply a team before every event, I'm opening submission of teams for all the season (in order to have at least a team in every event, if you wish so).

In order to rely less in Amateur/NPC teams than I did this year, the maximum of teams per player/nation will be raised 3 teams per nation and 5 teams per player (this number may be provisional, of course, depending the number of people interested). Those interested may fill and post the following form in this thread.

Quote
Team name: (The name of the team)
Nation: (The team's nation)
Gender: (If it's a men's or women's team)
Riders: (Name of the riders, six riders per team - see above category)

In any case, in the previous week(s) before every event, as far as it is possible, I'll likely open specific application for those events, in case anyone would like to change the composition of the team (for whatever RP reason), or apply for first time if they did not do it before.

The deadline to apply for team(s) for all the season will be January 15, 2021.

Application for Tour of Abydos (men's cycling) and Cescedia Classic (women's cycling), held in Abydos and the Allied States of Ardia, respectively, are opened until February 25.

If you wish to participate, post the following application in this thread:

Quote
Team name: (The name of the team)
Nation: (The team's nation)
Event: (which event are you applying)
Riders: (Name of the riders, six riders per team - see above category)

Both events are one-day races. Anyone can apply, and usual rules apply (as the one listed in the first post of this thread), include a limit of 3 teams per nation and 5 teams per player.

Those who submitted a team for the whole season do not need to apply, unless they want to make a change in your team (such as replacing one or more riders for whatever reason).

You may want to change the last event on the Women's calendar as Novincia is no longer on the map.

Feedback on Tour of Ardia:

It was well done but for the next time you do a tour like that I would suggest asking for a little more information at the sign up stage, maybe identifying team leaders or something to retain some realistic sense in the results, because from an ic perspective the tour of Ardia results in large part didn't add up, riders didn't appear to act as they should, team performances looked off and from an ic perspective the rider who would have been the odds on pre race favourite for the pink jersey was absent from all except one top twenty on a stage.

Feedback on Tour of Ardia:

It was well done but for the next time you do a tour like that I would suggest asking for a little more information at the sign up stage, maybe identifying team leaders or something to retain some realistic sense in the results, because from an ic perspective the tour of Ardia results in large part didn't add up, riders didn't appear to act as they should, team performances looked off and from an ic perspective the rider who would have been the odds on pre race favourite for the pink jersey was absent from all except one top twenty on a stage.

It is a good point. However, while introducing as much realism as it is possible, I try that sign up remains as simple as possible, as not everyone may know or be really invested in cycling so I wouldn't like that become an obstacle for more people to join. Besides consideratings that in RL cycling teams may have more than one GC contender (or none), my feeling is that the system would require to be too complex or introduce some kind of artificial compensation to consistently work that way. There are already some important differences in ratings between riders, actually, but still luck seems to play an important part in the simulation, for good or bad.

Team classification is a bit different case, though, as it is not really decided by the best or leading riders, or consistency in GC, but by the performance of the average or lower riders of the teams, being a combined result. As consequence, luck plays a more important factor in the final result.

If there are ratings for riders then the results are even more questionable.
