I am in.  Another thought would be something like this.  

1 from 1-10

2 from 11-30

2 from 31-60

 

If you really want to make it interesting, take JT Boe and Fourcade out of contention.

As I have thought about this again, since you are only giving points for the top 20 spots, something more like this

1 from 1-10

3 from 11-30

1 from 31-60

This will be great, and looking very much forward to new season.

 

Perhaps some reminder a month/two weeks/week or so before the start?

I will come with a reminder a month before the season starts. 

If you have any suggestions to the rules or points systems, feel free to come with them.

 

Also, If you, or anyone else, know some biathlon fans outside the forum, it would be great if they would participate in the manager game when we are getting closer to the season start. 

[Kirkpatrick 144]

Will invite people if I find someone, but this is my go-to forum for biathlon so not sure how successful will I be. I do read Real Biathlon forums as well, but just a lurker there.

I'll join, looks fun.

I think it should be called "Fantasy Game" instead of "Manager Game" but that's the least important thing I love such a kind of game but I have two problems with them - one is that I usually take to my team athletes I like personally than those who may give me more points, two is that I often forget about the contest in the middle of the season (like I did with ski jumping fantasy during the 4 Hills Tournament). But of course I am keen on this game next season.

1. Creating your biathlon team

Your biathlon team will consist of 5 female and 5 male biathletes. You are only allowed to select 2 biathletes from the same nation.

For the first World Cup round, managers will have 160 points to their disposal to buy 10 biathletes for their team.

Will someone keep track of the number of transfers someone has made?

Yes, I will. Every time a manager makes a transfer via PM to me, I will inform them how many transfer they have left.  

[heywoodu 15,174]

Well, I'm in.
