SCORING SYSTEM

The Velogames Fantasy Vuelta a Espana runs a detailed scoring system, designed to fairly rate each rider's achievments over the 3-week event.

Points are scored at the end of each day and also for the final overall positions in the main rider classification at the end of the 3 weeks.

Each day, Velogames will award 0, 1 or 2 riders with the Primary Assist.
