Just an important issue.
It looks inevitable that some or even all 3 riders will miss the next race for sure, so a few of us are going to be affected in the league by this.
Ben some of us will need to carry out a damage limitation exercise, I know I will with Gibbers being one of my riders, is there a way of changing those riders without paying the 10% penalty, or simply will the substitute riders carry on scoring for us until their return?

Good point Dazza.
I can elimate the 10% fee no problem, but is this fair to everyone? I'd like more opinions please!
I really should have defined more rules at the start (it was too rushed!) - like if a rider doesnt race then 10% is off.
Personally I've no problem.
I'll be updating the league tonight, looks like there may be some shuffling going on!

I too have no problems with the 10% off, since I too have a rider that may not race the next couple of races. but on the other hand it is a part of the game and a part of the risk that comes with it that your rider can crash and won't be able to race a couple of GP's.
so what ever you choose ben, it's fine by me!

I say go for it, if your rider is out because of injury then you should be allowed to sub riders for those races without the 10% fee. However, once the rider comes back you must go back to him or else pay his 10% release. My two cents.

no it's not fair. sorry but those of us who did'nt lose out will lose out if u do this without some kind of penalty. thats racing! maybe a partial fee at least 5%, small point's deduction or something along those lines.

eeek...
Based on those reactions.
Ben,
Im sure everyone will agree that the points scored by the stand in riders for the injured, can be added to their total as per normal as Im sure Ive seen that done in the F1 Fantasy leagues. I also agree that the 10% still applies for anyone wishing to trade in for another rider. But thats the team managers choice.

Why though? It's part of racing and it brightens this league up, so why not just change your rider/s and team if needs be.

I don't think allowing changes without the 10% is fair, because the choice of rider is now easier than before the game started due to the results seen so far.
IMO letting the subs get the points of the injured riders isn't too fair either because subs will probably score less points than starters.
My pick would be to calculate the average points per race these riders have so far and add those points to each rider for each race missed.
So for example Loris has 99pts in 7 races (is it 7??) so that = 14 pts per race, I would add 14 pts to Capirossi's tally if he misses Assen.

This is from yesterday and to let you guys know
Despite being hospitalised following Sunday's horrific first turn accident at Catalunya, Loris Capirossi intends to race in this Saturday's Dutch TT at Assen - but Ducati Marlboro team-mate Sete Gibernau is already ruled out.
The pair triggered the six rider pile-up after tangling on the approach to the first corner, after which Capirossi was airlifted to Catalunya General Hospital for checks to his chest and abdomen.
The Italian has now been given the all clear and returned home to Monte Carlo today (Monday) to prepare for round eight of the world championship - where he will try and retrieve at least some of the 20 points he has now lost to title leader Nicky Hayden.
Meanwhile, Gibernau - who was thrown over the handlebars at 120mph - faces a longer recovery. The Spanish rider underwent a further brain scan today to rule out any possible complications ahead of Tuesday morning's operation to fix the minor fracture to his left collarbone he sustained during the accident.
Surgeons will replace a plate inserted following an earlier accident with a larger plate. Only after the operation will it be possible to confirm when Gibernau can race again, but he will certainly miss the next round in the Netherlands.
It is not yet known if Marco Melandri, the third rider hospitalised after the accident, will try to ride at Assen - free practice for which starts on Thursday.
