i created a buddy league if you guys want to join:
league:elitetrack
password:elitetrackOK, I'm in… but I didn't finish my team yet 🙂

Participant
if your using hotmail, mine went into junk e-mail folder.
thx, I ended up discovering that by mistake
So you can just pick everyone and anyone no holds barred? Why not just go IAAF top list and pick the top person in each event…
lol, i'm still doing something similar to that as well
*!* whats happening – I finally get my email and try to login but my password dosen't work, then I go to the 'forgot password button' and type in my email and it says:
"loginMsgErrorEmailNotActive"

What is with captain? Why do you need captain? Bonus point meybe or what? … Thanks…
And one more question – if I choose an athlete, who competes in two disciplines – then I get double points, for each discipline, or I get points only for better discipline?

Participantgreat game…i got a killer team…should be fun.

You guys know about the shirts that can be won with the most points for a single day. Well, I was wondering what if it's the first day of a decathlon, would a person who finishes in the top 8 overnight be awarded points or would it not be till the entire decathlon is completed? I'm sadly guessing that it may be option b, but i'd like your guys imput. Thx

I think the rule is you only get the athletes highest points if he competes in more than 1 event…excluding relays.exactly, so wariner is a much better choice then gay for anyone who made that mistake
[/quote]Unless Gay gets a legal wind and breaks the World Record. Then you get bonus points for that.

yeh, Gay certainly could get gold and WR, but I just think Wariner has more chance of getting gold at least, maybe a WR, and dosen't have crelative competition as good as Powell

How long did it take to get the confirmation email. I've been waiting about 20 minutes and haven't received it. It's not in my junk mail folder either.

I finished my team. That was kinda difficult putting together a mens and womens team when you can only take one athlete from each country.

I finally finished my team… it was hard :bigsmile: … captains and relays were the hardest 🙂

I had an easy time with Captains. Relays were pretty tough…especially considering 2-3 countries have a chance of winning 2-3 of the relays.

I think we should show our teams right after competition begins. What does everyone think???
I'd be ok. We can change it though (albeit only one per day).

Crap. Can you transfer relay teams? I made a large mental error and picked basically 4 4x100m teams (aka: I have UK for the men 4×4 :thumbdown:)
I don't think you can and even if you could I wouldn't tell you….I'm out to win.
I've had a good 2 days with qualifying so far. I have Ostapchuk on my team and she barely made it through qualifying. Hopefully, she can turn things around in the final.

You'll think you've won until I put in the secret cheat code to retroactively get Randy Barnes and FloJo. -
Keymaster
I've already used the code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A if you must know) so it can't be used again. I've got Sergey Bubka, Carl Lewis, Al Oerter, and Michael Johnson….as you can see that code by-passes the 1-athlete per country restriction.

does anyone else have a heptathlete and not recieved points for them???
That's part of my secret code also. You don't get points for the heptathlon. 😀

Me! No points for Klüft. Don't know why.
So I have only 75 points for Ostapchuk.

HA. I'm winning. Asafa hurt me though. Luckily I had Gay as my team captain but I was counting on him to win the 200m and Safa to win the 100m. So far, I've had 2 event winners and a bronze medalist. I switched out Ostapchuk for Villi…a semi-risky move that paid off. I'm looking good so far.

I don't have any male 100m spriner in my team :bigsmile: … so most of my athletes didn't compete yet – only Klűft and Ostapchuk.

I had Kluft too. I haven't received points for her yet but that makes 3 event winners and a bronze.
ELITETRACK Founder

Keymaster
oi, do we get points for multi-eventers, we should have them by now???…
I got my points for Kluft this morning. There seems to be about an 8-12 hour delay between the conclusion of the events and the awarding of points.
On a bright note, another one of my team all-stars just won (Bekele). Right now, the weak link on my team is that slacker 100m world record holder who only brought in 50 points.

Great…you join our league and are immediately in first place!
I've got quite a few points coming up too but I've already used up one captain.
Anyone care to make their teams public? I'll do it if others do. It's not like we can do much about our picks at this point.

My team is now public. Damn Nigerian beating Naimova out of the 100m finals. Are we allowed to mail our athletes drugs so they score more points?
Now that the event is over the only good that would do is getting her popped for a post-event test. I didn't read anything in the rules though stating that we can't do that.

No need for post-event tests. My little Bulgarian bunny still has a chance to steamroll people in the 2. Feast your eyes on your worst nightmare. -

my team is now open-view.
lol, I was fully aware of the rules of one transfer per day but I momentarily forgot last night so swapped Powell who had 50pts for Gregorio – who ended up winning me 75 – so as to choose Veronica Campbell who was also from Jamaica. Obviously I forgot about the one transfer limit and so I missed out on Campbell's win in the hundy lol
I still swapped Hourtis-Harrie?? for Campbell today because Campbell is looking a treat at the moment – please, please win the 2… -
Participant
Does anyone else who watched the 200 and 400m heats tonight think we are in for some ridiculous times in those races?
The ease at which these guys were running fast times was incredible. I'm thinking we might see Wariner break the 400 record and Tyson smash the championship record in the 200, maybe even run in the 19.4s. This track is special. -

It seems like if you swap out immediately after the event (before points have been awarded) you might get points. If you swap out AFTER points have been awarded you won't get the points.

So that's how people have 238,475 points? You should have to finish transfers before the day starts.
Leroy Dixon bout it.
