Tour

I'm doing my first pre selection for one of the many fantasy teams I will have to play for this year's Tour de France. Only two more nights!

There will be 189 cyclists starting in the Tour on saturday. I organise a game in which everyone has to pick 25 of them who score points in every stage. In the end the one whose 25 names have gathered most points wins. Obviously with some big names, my team will be fairly similar to the one my father picks, something like 20 names perhaps. So the other five decide if I end above him. While watching this, this is a lot of extra fun.

What is the prize?

and i'm curious as to what you teach and at what level.

and when you say you need to do book reports is that something for work, or do you just write book reports for every book you read?

just curious :)

Everyone pays 4€ to enter, we give several prizes, the first 5, but also several at random, like 14, 37, 43 etc and the bad luck award, last place etc.

I teach several subjects on a tourism course. It is professional training. They enter at age 16/4 years secundary school, leave at 19/20 ready to go to college level or to start working in the tourism industry.

The book reports is something I started a couple of years back and I think it is a nice way of remembering books after quite a few years. It's just an obligation I gave myself.
