Indeed. Some question marks are appropriate! IP, can you post just a small summary of the schedule on a prominent place in the forum? The announcement in the site isn't useful if it is down Has there been a training today? When will be the first training of the new season? When will be the first race (you wrote that in the announcement ... but I didn't memorize the date What about the test site? Some more races and testing there?

Season update completed (26 August 2012) The season update has been completed successfully. In order to guarantee that nothing went wrong, the website was shut down temporarily during this time. Division rewards have been distributed, although promotions are not yet completed. As previously announced, this will be done at a later time, because we will do this manually.
As promised, the website will undergo maintenance, starting tomorrow. During this time, access to the game will be suspended, and everything in the game will be pauzed. This means that there won't be any transfers and no update next Sunday evening. Premium accounts will also be extended with a week.
We think that if everything goes well, the update process should be completed next weekend. We will keep you informed should there be a problem with this deadline.

Season ending (22 August 2012)
With the last race this Sunday, the current season is coming to an end. This means that the weekly update will be slightly different than usual, and include the seasonal rewards, such as prize money for division standings and best cyclist.
As was the case in the previous seasons, promotions will be handled manually, later during the week. Once the top divisions have all been filled with players, we will revert to doing the promotions automatically, but this will still take a few seasons.
The week after the seasonal update, the website will undergo a period of maintenance. As you are aware, the new race engine will be implemented, but there are also other new and updated features throughout the website. Because many pages will give errors while the game is updated, we decided to close the website during this time.
While the game is inaccessible, everything will be halted. This means that no transfers will be completed and Premium accounts will be extended.
In order to give everyone enough time to prepare for the new season, the game will start 2 weeks after the maintainance period, on Monday the 10th of September.
The new race engine is of course the most important change to the game. But there are other additions as well.
- Starting next season, there will finally be an archive of all passed races and tours. Per division, you will be able to view the calendars of previous seasons and all results.
- Fanclubs have been reviewed completely, and are now available for everyone. Fanclubs will act as a 'mini-Facebook' and contain the highlights of your team (and teams you have befriended). This should make it a lot easier to keep track of what your friends are up to!
- Each division will have a small, ingame forum.
- All results (not only the victories) of cyclists are visible in the team and cyclist history (note: this feature is for Premium players only)

Yeah, sorry about the panic I might've caused I just closed the website for the update, just in case. There have been issues with database interruptions, and I think maybe related with the number of players online. The maintenance will start tomorrow.

A LOT of decimals, I like this, so I will not put this to "Bugs" :-))) : "Training effectiveness: 81.5510339371817%" . Nice feature, hope I will not get to "Pi" training efficiency

Perfect job done with the new trainingmethod and the maximum buy skill of the trainers. Many people will have some disadvantages with planning they had, but this is the best way to get those to a minimum.
