How to play Fantasy Cyclocross

Playing Fantasy Cyclocross is straightforward and simple to do.

Getting started

To get playing fantasy cyclocross, you need to do two things:

1. Create an account
2. Build a team

Create an account

The first step is to create an account, with your name and email address. Please note, your email address is your username.

When creating an account, you need to give your team a name. This is your unique team name which will appear on public and private leaderboards – please choose it wisely!

Picking your team

Once you have created an account, the next step is to pick your team of riders. A complete list of all riders currently available can be found on the riders page.

Visit the My team page to build your team, within the allowed budget. You must pick 3 female and 3 male riders.

Leagues

Everyone automatically gets added to the global Fantasy Cyclocross league, when they sign-up on the site. There you can see how you match up against everyone.

For even more fun, you can create your own private leagues. To create a league, visit the leagues page and click ‘create league’. Give your league a name, and you will be shown a unique league joining code. Share this code with your friends, and they can join your league.

Changing your team

You can change your riders throughout the season, as long as you have enough budget!

Team changes (transfers) are locked 2hrs before the start of a race and until the race results are posted. This stops players from changing their team during, or after, the race. 

Points and results

Every rider that finishes is awarded points, and count towards your total. If a rider doesn't finish they are marked as a DNF, and score zero. Results are taken from the UCI official race results sheet (we use cyclocross24.com for this).

The points scoring works as follows:

1 - 100
2 - 85
3 - 75
4 - 65
5 - 60
