You know the point is to change it before each contest based on results and whos actually competing, right? Might wanna double check your lists before the deadline for dewtour...

Also, only the prices of the people who do well will go up, so wouldn't you want them on your team in the first place?

TIP TO EVERYONE: take at least 3 women, there are less of them, and theyre more consistant in comps,

also i took chug just for jokes, ill probably drop him before this thing starts, but i still gotta have him on my team for a while

ALSO, anyone know whats up wich teej for this year? is he competing? cause hes by far my favorite skier but there is no point in having him on my team if hes still out with that blown knee

Wow.... if someone on your team goes up in value and you decide to drop/sell them to get another skier (aka im going to drop one or two eventually to put girls on my team) you can only sell it back for 20k... doesnt make any fucking sense, who the fuck this? big time fuck up here...

yeah the whole format is kind of wack

i wish you could have a legit league with your ski friends or have more of a real draft

actually go like 3 or 4 rounds and be able to pick up sleepers...

Agreed.

You used to also have way more people than 8...load up with cheap skiers you think would do well. I like that better too.

Freeskier can officially suck it.

I came in second in this years ago due to my superior algorithm. One of the friends of Freeskier who was also competing in the events ended up winning. Freeskier claimed they would send me some prizes. All I asked for was whiskey, which they also agreed to. Years later, I still have nothing.

Fuck you Freeskier. If your shit magazine wasn't such a fucking joke I would have taken it personally.

I still want my fucking whiskey.

Yea this doesn't make sense. If an athlete goes up to 30,000 then when you drop him you should retain 30.000 not 20,000. then the better you do in earlier rounds, the easier it becomes to build a boss team for later rounds. Also Eheath, why tell em that there is no chicks competing first round? if their not smart enough to figure it out themselves then let em fail.

Wish it could be like this imo.

Buy tom for 20,000. he goes up to 50,000 after dew tour and you can sell him and recieve 50,000 to buy torin for 45,000 and now you have 5,000 leftover for future trading. At the end you sell all athletes and whoever has the most money wins.

I like the point system but they shouldn't screw you on $.

Money based is similar to SSE which I never liked as much.
