The freezingsaddles.com website is updated with the names I could track down. Where are the slackers (not literally, the “slackers” already have a team) for Team 6 and 15? Maybe I missed a thread.
If you haven’t joined a team yet, then you’ll have been dropped from the FS website. To fix the problem join your Strava club. It may take an hour before you reappear.
I posted on a few of the threads, but I think a more general note is in order. I’d like to propose a basic set of guidelines for team naming, but obviously open to improvements.
– Start with “Team N” where N is the number of your team. Putting this first is important because in some cases the charts/visualizations may clip team names, so it would be helpful to put the most salient info first.
– Next probably whatever crazy name y’all decide by darts or arm wrestling.
– Finally, probably some indication that this is for freezing saddles and the year. Historically this has been of the form BAFS2016, though I’d propose FS2016 to be a bit shorter — and less Arlington-specific? In any event, remember that there’s a Team N every year (at least where N <= 10), so indicating which year can be helpful if you'd like to keep the team around for years to come.
– If you want to put emoji or kanji characters in your name, go for it, but beware that they may not render correctly everywhere. (Be advised that use of right-to-left languages will almost certainly render incorrectly in charts.)So putting it together would yield something like “Team 21 – Drinking Age! FS2016”.
Anyway, good luck out there!2

It does! Yeah, I edited it as I think I was wrong about the historical conventions. But mainly, I didn’t want to start a debate on whether “Arlington” should be part of the name
I know we all appreciate the involvement of BikeArlington in this competition. Even those of us not playing!
