Scoring

Points are scored in 12 categories, according to data pulled from the Tour’s official website. The scoring system has been modified from previous years to give every rider on your team a chance to score points for each stage, and for each category of points – it sounds complicated, but it rewards consistency and tactical picks).

Tie breaks

  • In the event of a tie, where two hubbers may have picked the same list of riders, the first person that submitted their list of riders first will be declared the winner.
  • In the event of a tie, where the list of riders are not the same, the highest points accumulated on a single stage will be used to determine the winner. If still a tie, then the number of stage victories, and if still deadlocked then the number of days in yellow. Finally, if still a tie, the person who submitted their entry first will be the winner.
  • The last confirmed list of riders will be used as the “first” submission.

Prizes

  • As always, I rely on the generosity of hubbers, admin, sponsors and anyone else to find prizes. If you want to offer prizes, or know of someone that wants to sponsor prizes, please contact me.

Prizes collected/offered so far include:

Thanks a ton for organising this and going into so much detail with it, Gerald! It's much appreciated.

 

Just a couple of questions to get an idea of how the scoring will work:

  • Will there be only one rider who scores points in each of the categories apart from the daily placings?
  • What will the actual points amounts be for each of the other categories? Is it be about 50 points for each of the daily jersey wearers and about 1000 points for each of the final jersey winners, or a lot less than that?

Will there be a booby prize for the hubber that has the worst picks.....

We would not deliberately choose muck riders like Cavendish etc for sprint points of course..... hubbers are not like that....

Only the 4 jersey wearers and aggressive rider categories is one rider scores.

 

Daily stage, overall (yellow), green, polka dot and white standings at the end of each day also have points for each rider listed. In other words, stages 1-3 are flat so the chances of points being scored in the polka dot category will be limited to one or two riders. As soon as the mountain stages start, more and more riders will score points.

 

I'll post examples closer to the weekend.
