TdF Pool Rules

Rules are the same as last year, and follow below. You can submit your picks via this form: https://goo.gl/forms/J9CukaZ95QEPlLLV2
Make sure you get your picks in before July 7th and enjoy the race!

THE RULES
ENTRIES
You must include the following:

10 riders
1 team
Your guess of the total number of finishers

Only one entry per individual please!

ENTRY DEADLINES
You may enter at any time before the final day of the Tour, but once the Tour has started you may not pick a rider who has earned any Pool points

POINTS
Participants will be awarded points based on the performance of their riders and team in each stage and in the final overall standings (see points scales below).

FINAL STANDINGS
The winner of the Pool is the participant who scores the most points.

In the event of a tie, best GC rider decides, followed by number of stage wins, number of second places etc.

In the event that two participants pick identical riders and team, the tie breaker will be the participant whose guesses closest to the total number of finishers.

Tour Pool results will be considered “official” one week to the hour after the finish of the final stage, and distribution of prizes and kudos will begin. Any subsequent disqualifications will not affect the Pool result
