    Good afternoon Freezing Saddlers! FSSB 3 is almost done, and we are now mid-challenge, so it’s time for our next side bet – FSSB #4
    The format for this side bet is different than the last 3. For this one we are going to do a Super Team Tournament, With total points determining who will walk away proud, and who will walk away with tails between legs.

    As of right now there is some separation between teams, but fear not, even if your team hasn’t posted huge miles this challenge is up for grabs; anyone can win.

    Here is how it will work. Over the next week ride as you normally do, and post your miles to strava. Your team’s points during that round will be combined with another team’s for a super team score. Your super team will go head to head with another super team, with the winner moving on to round 2. So what are the teams.
    Teams will be decided by rank of teams as of MIDNIGHT tonight, and will go as follows
    Super Team 1 (first place + tenth place)
    Super Team 2 (fifth place + sixth place)
    Super Team 3 (second place + ninth place)
    Super Team 4 (third place + eighth place)
    Super Team 5 (fourth place + seventh place)
    I’ll post a bracket and update team names accordingly.

    Round 1 will be total points for Thursday through Sunday, Round 2 will be total points for Monday through Thursday with total winner announced next Friday.
    Here’s what it will look like, We go live at Midnight!

    Some of us still refuse to acknowledge the renaming of National Airport!

    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 :)

    Somehow I doubt the slackers gonna be more motivated. I motivated straight to the couch.

    This challenge sounds great. We’re forgetting the most important part though – what Pointless Prize will the winners get?

    Maybe copies of this:

    So, FSSB #4 was q bust. Sorry, my exuberence exceeded my ability to pull the data and my limited computer connectivity this week trumped my limited FS miles. That said, since we are all winners, I deem the nerd herders from outer space the winners, just because I like the name.
