Fantasy Enduro League: Prizes Announced for Round 9 - Trophy of Nations 2019
We're heading into the final round of the Fantasy Enduro Presented by Shimano. So far over 20,000 Pinkbike readers have picked their dream Enduro World Series team to be in the running to walk home with a Pivot Firebird 29er carbon frame kitted out with Shimano XTR and other prizes!
Read on to see all the prizes up for grabs during the final round, learn more about how the league works and increase your chances of taking home a prize. See who is racing by checking the live updating and searchable form on the Enduro World Series website. Just scroll down and click on ‘Participating Riders' to see who is entered into the race.
There are prizes for each round, so if you haven't already, make sure to build your team today! If you've already got a team in the mix you're in the running to win the Grand Prize, so visit the Fantasy homepage to make sure you have the fastest team possible for Round 9.
With the change in format for the Trophy of Nations, we'll be changing up our Fantasy League scoring accordingly too. Every rider on a team will get points equal to their team's finishing place. All three riders on the winning team will get the maximum points (500 each), all three riders on the second team get second-most points (450 each), and so on. So if you have Florian Nicolai, Kevin Miquel and Dimitri Tordo on your team and they win for team France, you would get 1500 points. But you could also have one rider from Team France, one from Team GB, one from Team Australia to try and spread your chances. If you want to make some changes to your team, you can do so here.

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
You're allowed unlimited trades after each round. You can 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 Pivot, Muc-Off 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!

An individual not in a competitive team (Maes) or not in their national team (Dailly) can still win the overall event. I think it's incorrect that there would be no points for that rider. Should still get 500 points for individual winner, then a bonus 100 or something for being in the best team.
Also a good team strategy would be to let the slower riders go first, because Maes can catch them near the bottom minimizing total team time...which sort of nullifies individual results.
It's a cool idea, but feel like it's a missed opportunity. If the individual event is meaningless, what's the point in top riders in lesser nations even bothering?
enduro doesn't have a world champs, so this event could work as a hybrid crowning a one off champion as well as Trophy of Nations team competition
still waiting..... ????
