We have already reached the limit of 7 Development Teams slots available for 2026 season. The four managers who expressed interest but won't get in this time will receive preference for 2027 Development Teams, if they wish to sign up again.
Development Teams sign-ups are now closed.
More instructions will follow in this thread regarding the draft order and draft lists.
Please also read the Transfer Rules and Dev Teams section of the Transfer Sheets thread for further details.

Development teams are newly introduced for the 2026 ManGame season.
5. Each team (both managers deciding together) have to submit a draft list before the end of transfers which should be long enough to cover eight riders in the draft. If your draft list is not long enough, you will miss out on your picks in the respective rounds and will have to fill up the team at the end after all other teams have finished their picks.
6. The draft itself works in a serpentine way from A-Z, Z-A, for each of the eight rounds (so it is A-Z, Z-A, A-Z, Z-A, A-Z, Z-A, A-Z, Z-A).
And should just one big list be submitted, or can there be a list per round, as for the CT draft? It might not make sense for a team to get 5 sprinters, but you probably need to have more than 1 name on the list to make sure you get one...
You can send a single list or a different list per round.

Dev teams can also create HQs if desired. It is optional.

For managers who get dev teams, you can decide after the draft about your preferred rider (can be none of them).
Preferred rider details will need to be entered into the updated Transfer Sheet for this season. Having a team or a rider (or both) costs 25k in total in any of the scenarios below:
Cost of only having dev team without selecting a preferred rider = 25k
Cost of only having preferred rider, without dev team = 25k
Cost of having a dev team and selecting a preferred rider = 25k
Team Trululu is working on their lists - can we get some clarification about the preferred rider section of the transfer list for folks who have a team? Doesn't apply correct and we decided preferred riders post draft?
Are draft lists being sent to ManGame Admin?

Additional question - when will we know how many picks webactually get? If I understand correctly, this will only be clear after all managers have submitted their transfer sheets and reserved riders have been distributed?

You have to enter the preferred rider post the draft if you have a dev team. Each mamager of a team can enter a different rider in their sheet. It will not cost you anything extra on top of the 25k needed for the dev team.
Draft lists to be sent to Mangame Admin.
Managers without dev teams will be requested to send in their preferred rider choices on the day of transfers closing. Announcement pending. Rider allotments and free slots will be announced before the dev team draft starts.
