RULES AND REGULATIONS
- The value of your team must not exceed
the posted
budget. I have tried to ensure that members cannot select a team that
exceeds the budget, but the scripting used to verify team totals may not be compatible
with your browser. You are responsible for keeping your team under the
allowable budget. If your team exceeds the allowable budget, it will
be deleted.
- Team changes must be received before the
posted deadlines (typically 7:00 p.m. local time of the event for SX races). Deadlines may change for certain events due to time zones (i.e.
International rounds). Click the SCHEDULES link to the left for a complete listing.
- Participation is limited to Motonews.com
members.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Click on JOIN
NOW and follow the instructions to validate your motonews
account and sign up your team name on motoleague. If you are not a Motonews member, you
can follow the link to the Subscribe page.
- Click on LOGIN to validate
your session. You will not have to sign in again if your browser
accepts cookies. You are automatically logged in if you are joining
for the first time.
- On the top of the menu to the left, select the league you wish to
play (U.S. Supercross, U.S. Motocross).
- Once you are in the desired race
league, click on SELECT RIDERS to choose your team for an upcoming event.
- You must select a team for each
event in the series. If you do not select riders for an event your
team will score zero points.
- To ensure that you do not forget to
select a team for an upcoming round you may select riders weeks in advance
of the event. For example, you can select a team for round one, return
to the updates page and then select a team for round two (if you use the
Back button to return to the updates page it will speed up the process).
- Race results and team results will be posted
shortly after each event.
STRATEGIES
| Note to prior Motonews
fantasy league players: You do not have to choose a franchise
rider and you may select the same rider for consecutive rounds. The
large number of riders to select from and variable pricing ensures enough
variation in team manager choices. The 'no picking a rider two weeks
in a row' rule is not necessary. |
- To maximize your chances for points, you may
select up to ten riders for your team. Winning teams usually try to
select a few less expensive riders that they feel will make it into the top
twenty and score points.
- The U.S. 125 Supercross series is split into East and West rounds.
Rider's regular region (125 E, 125 W) is noted beside their name in the
rider selection list. Ensure that you select 125 East riders for East
events and vice versa. If the rider you choose does not compete, you
will score zero points for that rider. The U.S. Motocross
events are not split into East and West regions.
- Rider prices will be adjusted every few
rounds. Strong riders will have their prices raised and will be more
difficult to hire under your budget constraints. Struggling riders
will have their prices reduced and may be more attractive to team managers
due to their bargain prices.
POINTS AWARDED
- Points are awarded based on the
AMA's point system. Points are awarded for first through twentieth
place. If your rider wins a main event (125 or 250), you will receive
25 points. See the table below for a full listing of points awarded.
- Points are now awarded to a rider no
matter what class he competes in. Therefore, if a rider switches
between the 125 and 250 class or rides two different classes, teams will
receive as many points as the rider scores for the day.
