Le Tour is almost upon us. For a bit of added excitement and inter-club competition we've set up a Fantasy Tour de France mini league for the club.
How does it work?
Each player takes the role of a Directeur Sportif of a professional cycling team. The aim of the contest is to select the best possible team of 9 riders, while operating within the conditions set on team selection. The better your racers perform during the 3 week event, the more points they will accumulate for your fantasy squad.
How do enter my team into the Swan Wheelers league?
Once you have created a team go to your team page by logging-in with your username and password, and clicking on the My Team link towards the top-right of the screen.
At the bottom of the team roster page is the Mini-League manager and click on "Join or Create New League" to go to the League Entry page.
You will then be required to enter the Swan Wheelers league code which is 776247622 and confirm you want to join the league.
How much does this cost?
Nothing. Nowt. Zero. It's completely free. The site is funded by advertising so the price is having to endure some adverts.
What do I win?
There are no prizes, it's just for fun and bragging rights over your fellow club members!
When do I need to enter by?
You must enter your team by 2pm (our time, BST) on Saturday 1st July. So be quick!
