IAAF LAUNCHES FANTASY TRACK N FIELD 2012

This makes sense because I have two Kenyan men, but can't choose any Kenyan women.

But ya, the programming on this site is definitely a little "mom and pop" for an organization like the IAAF. They lack a lot functionality and I've came across a couple small bugs/CSS issues.

Don't get me wrong, it's still great and I'm excited about it. The site just seems like something anyone with a couple semesters of web development classes could build.

I took Meseret Defar and Janeth Jepkosgei...Any thoughts, are they reliable or not??

I requested membership - up to 82 people. Rock and roll.

Anyone NOT choose Bekele as captain?

I didn't. If it were a 10k or a 5k, I say he's pretty much a lock with that field. But there are surer things in the meet than him in a 3k.

I agree... while I'm still pretty confident in Bekele (didn't he outkick Lagat the last time he raced 3k on the track?), I feel like Rudisha is as close to a lock as we're going to see this year.

Also, shout out to the guy who named his team "Anbessa" and doesn't have Bekele on it... made me smile.

Can I be a part of multiple leagues? I'm already in a league on my team; can I join the LRC one as well?

Yes, you can be in multiple leagues. Up to 108 entries now.

i requested, name is a a

I made Walter Dix my captain. First, I think he's going to have an awesome year, but also because the competition in this meet in the 200 doesn't include Bolt, Blake, Powell, Gay, etc. The only reason I didn't choose Rudisha is because it's so early. Has he opened outdoors already?

Bekele is on my team but he won't be my captain. 3k is just too hard to predict.

Transfers are now locked. We're at 154 members. Good luck to everyone.

I am excited see so many people responding to this thread....I'm betting everyone that James Lee will be in the top 3 by time the track meet is over.

LET'S GO TEAM JAMES LEE!

I signed up last night but not all the athletes were available for me for selection.

Is that how it is supposed to be or should I have tried to use a different browser? Most events I could select everyone but for example in the women's 3k Vivian Cheruiyot wasn't an option.

Were you all able to select from everyone?

You're only able to select two athletes from a single country regardless of gender. You probably selected two Kenyan men and so Vivian Cheruiyot wasn't available anymore. Unless she pulled out of the race, but I haven't checked yet.

As others have noted, they limit you to 2 per country. So I have 2 USA (both men), 2 Jamaicans (both women) so I wouldn't have been able to select any others from those countries. That's probably why. Do you already have 2 from Kenya, so you couldn't select Cheruiyot?

Oh 2 per country across both sexes?

That explains it.

I wanted to select Melaine Walker who just won the hurdles I might add. But I had VCB and Asafa Powell

Oh ya, Walter Dix scoring 1st for my team! 20.02

Same here. Just got 20 points since it was a MR.

Sweet, I forgot about that.

Powell lets me down. Dix and Rudisha win. Had Dix as my captain to start with but changed to LaShawn Merritt as I thought he might get the meeting record (given his 44.73 opener), hope I'm right given Dix got the MR as well. Should have gone with Jemilo she looked great
