Nations DB v1.0
AaB-ern
I decided to make a DB where riders are split up into teams by their nationality.

The biggest cycling nations will have teams with only domestic riders, but smaller nations will be put into teams consisting of riders from several nations.
Nations with more than 25 riders have more teams. For example, Italy has 9 teams. The best italian riders (based on stats average) will be put into Italy 1 and the worst riders into Italy 9.

These are the teams I've come up with:
Italy 1Spain 1France 1Belgium 1Germany 1
Italy 2Spain 2France 2Belgium 2Germany 2
Italy 3Spain 3France 3Belgium 3Germany 3
Italy 4Spain 4France 4Belgium 4Germany 4
Italy 5Spain 5France 5Belgium 5USA 1
Italy 6Spain 6France 6Netherlands 1USA 2
Italy 7Spain 7France 7Netherlands 2USA 3
Italy 8Spain 8Australia 1Netherlands 3USA 4
New ZealandDenmark 1Australia 2Switzerland 1Poland 1
Russia 1Denmark 2Australia 3Switzerland 2Poland 2
Russia 2PortugalSloveniaAustriaUkrain
Czech RepublicColombiaGreat BritainNorwayCanada
KazakhstanSwedenLuxembourgBaltic CoastEastern Europe
Latin AmericaRest of EuropeRest of Europe 2Rest of World

If you would like to see a summary of how all riders are split into teams, click this link.

The first release will be based on PPDB's DB v1f.

I have no current idea about the release date of this DB.

Good idea.

Will you make new stages or mostly just stats, new jerseys and so on?

I won't touch stats nor stages. Smile
 
Eddy Merckx
yes, maybe not needed since the stats from PPDB is the best and most realistic.

Sounds like a great idea! Might have to give Australia 1 a go when you release this considering there have been rumours here for a while about starting an all Aussie team
 
rathdred
Wow, there are some really small teams there, like NZ.

How are you going to decide which teams are PT teams and which are continental?

Sounds good, looking forward to playing it - but wouldnt the Bermudan rider be better in the Rest of World team?

By the ingame team ranking. Best teams in the ProTour. Wink

Well, just picked GBR, as I saw Bermuda has some relationships with GBR Pfft
Is that any stupid?

Well, it would make a lot more sense for Bermuda to go with the rest of the world - there is no instance in any sport where a Bermudan would represent Britain (as far as Im aware).

Okay, Bermuda transfered to "Rest of World".

Found a mismatch at the number of riders from Latin America. I had set it to contain 25 riders, but there are only 16.
However, I forgot to add the extra Portuguese and Slovenian riders to the Rest of Europe number of riders.
Now all matches the total number of riders (1514) again.

The summary sheet in first post is now updated.

Have you set all teams nationality value to 25, so that they will only sign riders from their own country in the future? Could be hard to do for multiple country teams. Also it could be wise to edit their scouting zones to correspond to the proper country(ies).

That's what I have been doing all night and continuing today. Wink

Decided to merge the Japan team into "Rest of World" as it only had 10 riders, and there are no scouting zones with Japanese riders.
That'd mean the team would have problems after 2 retirements.

How come there is no Napolitano or Petacchi in the Italy 1?
 
Wiggo
Because they're not in the top 27 average italian riders?
Edited by Wiggo on 31-08-2009 14:58
 
CrueTrue
Petacchi is in Italy 1.

I actually forgot that Italy 1 has 27 riders. Fixed the list now. Petacchi just made the cut into the team.

Napolitano is only the 36th best italian rider.

Ok thanks. I just realised that you are basing this on a different db to one im using which is why the list of best averages is different
