Fantasy Enduro League Contest: How-To

1. SIGN UP

You must a registered Pinkbike User to play Fantasy Enduro presented by Shimano. If you are not a registered Pinkbike user you can sign up for FREE.

2. CHOOSE YOUR TEAM:

Each player has a virtual $1,500,000 budget to build their Fantasy Team.

Your Fantasy Team contains 6 Team Athletes. Select 4 male athletes and 2 female athletes to complete your Fantasy Team. The riders you can choose in the Fantasy League system have been selected by the following criteria:
- We only considered performance in the EWS World Series.
- We have included Top 100 men and top 50 women, top 60 men and top 25 women will receive points.
- We have included select first year Pro riders (U21 in 2019)
- New Riders may be added round per round

Pick your rider by first clicking the Pick Racer button and select from the drop down menu. Repeat for all 6 Racers. You can see the value of each rider in the drop down menu.


Remember you do not have an unlimited budget, so pick wisely. TIP: check riders' social media, declared plans for 2020, and early season results to help make your decisions. You do not need to spend all your budget to build your team yet you can only spend up to the $1,500,000 limit.

Once you have all your team selected, click Save. Please note that this contest will follow the EWS points system and Fantasy points will be based on the EWS points table.


3. MANAGE YOUR TEAM:

Every round each participant can make as many changes as you like. Your changes will be restricted by your available budget. To make changes select EDIT TEAM button and then select the rider you wish to change. Then choose your new rider from the drop down list.


Team changes are permitted up until March 27, 2020 at 5am PST. After that, your selections are locked in for the first race, and you can make changes to your team per round after each race. There will be a countdown timer for team changes each round.
