3-Day Blackout Period
In order to avoid players copying each other's teams, all rider selections will be hidden for 72 hours before each race. Start playing mind games with your friends that you know are shoulder-hopping your choices.
Unlimited Trades
To make evolving your strategy between rounds easier, we've allowed unlimited trades after each round. Instead of only 2 changes allowed per round, you can now stick with what's working, or change your whole team out after every race.
Injury Icon
We've added an injury icon to show high profile athletes who are injured. This is not foolproof or exhaustive, so you'll still need to do your own research into your picks. If you know of riders who are injured, mention them in the comments and we’ll keep this updated.
Office Leagues
Employees at Race Face, Norco, SRAM, Trek, Chromag, Jenson, Specialized, and more are battling it out behind closed doors in their Office Leagues.
Offices can set up private leagues in addition to playing the main public league. Let the trash talk begin and show Dave in accounting who's boss (sorry Dave).
The Fantasy Downhill League is Presented by Trek.

I would love this... Don't yet have a dropper, and my bars are narrow and my stem is comparatively long. Don't care much about my stem length but still... *crossed fingers*

@endlessblockades: Lol ruthless is a pretty good description. I'm not trying to be needy and whiny, and stem length wasn't a sexual reference... Can't think of another reason. Just trying to balance @YouHadMeAtDrugs's snark, and express some appreciation for free stuff. Yes that was genuine, and I could actually use the prize. Lol, ho hum, gotta love the PB comments.

Isn't this a DH contest? Why is the prizing geared towards to xc/Enduro nerd herd?

Fair point, but... I've never ridden a bike over 130mm travel and have spent the last 5 years riding a 120mm hardtail yet DH is my absolute favorite bike racing and possibly favorite sport overall to watch. I'm probably not the only one
