FSSB #4 Mid-Winter Super Team Challenge

[Mikey]

just to give you an idea of what it would look like (note – this is a draft and will be updated at midnight)

here is what it may look like, I’ll work out the bugs for file size.

I like that Super Team 2 goes out of order from the other teams. ELITE.

I’m thinking this means those poor Slackers–who joined with the expectation that they wouldn’t be expected to do much of anything–are suddenly going to be under pressure from the #1 team to up their game.

@ Dread – matchups were designed for competitiveness
@ cvcalhoun – No, I fully expect the Chris and Chris show to carry the 18 other riders

I get that. The matchups go in order, they’re just placed on Super Team numbers out of order in one spot.

Yep, 2+9 >> 5+6 , these matchups makes both first round matches more interesting. I don’t want to set up any cakewalks in the first round (espially not the team I would be on).

Great, way to add even more incentive for them to ride!

Slackers should be renamed the Ringers because they are chock full of ass-kicking winter riders. HUGE advantage to be paired with them.

GO GO GO SOOOOOOPERTEAM ONE!!!!

I love how everyone assumes that Sloppy Seconds will be #1 going forward. For the record, there has actually been only one week that Sloppy Seconds has been on top of the weekly rankings. What has happened is that a different team jettisons to the top each week, but then can’t keep it up the following week. We Sloppies aren’t at the top any one week, but are consistent enough to take top honors overall.

I’m only assuming that they are going to be #1 in 36 min, at the start of FSSB #4.

Ah, okay, I was misreading it to say that you’d set up the teams based on the first week after the start of FSSB #4. If we’re setting them up based on past performance, I would agree it’s unlikely we’ll drop out of first place in the next 32 minutes.

As a member of said team, I would vote that Slackers team not be included (though in realize that throws a wench in the math). Slackers team has no handicap and riders are participating for purely social side effects of the competition. Seems wrong to enter them into the team competition. Of course, it is a side bet, so it may not matter; I personally don’t monitor the leaderboards so I won’t be feeling any extra pressure to ride

[Arlingtonrider]

Ditto.

Great, now I’ll have to actually ride my handicap.
