I've just run a statistical analysis of how much of this season has already been cancelled. You can see it in the Results page of the 2019 sheet, where the first two rows indicate what percentage of all points were scored in a given race, which then by marking the cancelled ones in red indicated that a staggering 37-38% is already officially out of the window. This doesn't even take into account that we were supposed to score in Tokyo 2020 or that many races to come will be shortened or cancelled altogether. Plus each rider can only ride so much during the next 3 months.
Based on the above as well as on your feedback, I'd propose the following for our 14 games:
Main game, Rainbow Cup, Country Roads, Nations Cup, and Cyclopaths work untouched.
For the Cannibals, I'll apply a 50% discount on each price tag.
The same for Man in the Mirror: 3 paydays instead of the planned 6.
I don't think the crazy calendar allows for the Quick Fix series, H2H, or the Octagon.
Till now, no-brainers.
The part below depends on whether the majority of the core group (Luis, Davy, Joris, Tom, Martin, plus Neil and Ace in some games) wants to participate. However, if interest is low (either because the season is too weird, or because you're away for the summer, or because the last 5 months killed your interest in puny fantasy games) we'll just skip those. Please reply below, guys!
IMO Classics Series could easily continue, as the auctions are mostly done and just a couple of clicks from each participant will suffice.
Similarly, Once and for all could continue without any modifications.
Vino Casino is a bit trickier, but simply halving your budget should work in principle.
Fold Landa could restart at a later date, as Davy is enjoying a family getaway right now.
Alright, let's hear some feedback till Thursday, and then potentially spend Friday preparing for Strade Bianche.
