Just here to remind you the transfer window is now open. It closes January 23th, 14:15 (CET)
 
It will probably be a busy transfer window, as Johannes Thingnes Boe will likely return and some nations will send some of their biathletes on training camps as preparation towards the WCHs. It would also be wise for managers to start consider which biathletes who may or may not be selected for the upcoming World Championships. Lastly, I would like to know if managers would prefer to have a transfer window after the first two races of each gender, sprint and pursuit, at the WCH, or if it would be okay to only have one before the first race of the WCHs?
 
Remember! Only 2 transfers per window and 12 in total are allowed. If a manager violates the rules, he or she will lose points according to 3f in the BMG rulebook. 
For more details on specific dates and times, see the calendar in the first post of this thread.

Apparently, 20-3 for blue course.
 
Even if it's boring, they should make it atleast more fair with two races from 1/8 finals.

Impressive race by Fialkova
 
And what a show by Eckhoff, nothing to be done against that  This is also why pursuit should be kicked out of the Olympic program (or sprint/pursuit should be one set of medals, but in any case it shouldn't be treated as two separate medal events)

That's because of the troubles with the lap and only the 2,5km lap being available.

maybe they shot someone. you never know with our shooting. 

Stina Nilsson might miss the rest of the season after her injury first day of TdS.

41 started, 41 finished, Lampič, points winner, as 41st. 
 
Last year there were only 28 finishers.

8th, there's a wild Jenssen in 2nd

He's been restored into the standings now.

i think they have prize money also for the skiiers winning most bonus points, so the bonus points race is a parallell competition 

Oestberg won the pursuit, because she crossed the line first. Oestberg also won the race in terms of FIS points (where only today's times count) because she made up some time to Johaug and beat her. Johaug had the 2nd fastest time, Nepryaeva (who finished 4th) had the 3rd fastest time.

I'm not a fan of Johaug winning, but if she does, at least let it be in this way: having to give absolutely everything she's got to win by less than a second  

Every stage is stage 5?  

This!
 
Whenever I try watching speed events, I always end up losing interest because of this. I don't even know who are the top seeds anymore, and it's just boring to see mid-tier skiers mixed up with favorites. I very much preferred the previous system, when there was a real build-up before the favorites got on the start.
 

The first two of the two first quarters, the first of the third quarter and the second best lucky-loser 

Tour de Ski was something great and fun to watch during the first editions, it was something new and fans loved it. I´ll never forget the Lukáš Bauer era, I was excited about this months before it started.
 
Now it´s just one crap. I definitely lost any interest 2 seasons back and this year with the newest idea of a mass start final climb I am not going to watch it as well (not interested anymore). Wish FIS will remove this farce from the calendar soon.
 
winter sports are going the very wrong way last years I am affraid

The drone was in Italy (Madonna di Campiglio). But the Dorfmeister incident was in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

"Come on, Holund!"
 
All the sweeter victory for Bolshunov after such ridiculous cheering by those two idiots on Eurosport. Ok, not fair, mostly one idiot was cheering.
 
Anyway, ambient sounds from now on.

A calender has now been added in the first post in the 2019/20 Biathlon Manager Game thread.
 
Calender for the 2019/20 season:
 
 
 

Stadium DJ starts to look for the theme from Jaws.
