We are in that strange fortnight that have National Championships and almost nothing else, and a few teams have named their teams, so it must be time to get my spreadsheet dusted off.
Your Team
8 riders, who must all be on the final start list for the Tour, with a maximum total cost of 4000 CQ points.
Rider cost
Their CQ points for the year to 30th June, as compiled in the download that was made available on the CQ site on Monday 1st. Their prices, and team selections updated as often as I can, are in a spreadsheet available on Dropbox.
Scoring
Points are won by the top ten on the stage each day (80, 50, 35 down to 1 point for 10th), holding the yellow jersey (20 points a day, but not on the last day) and for the GC (600 for the winner, then 450, 380, 320, 290, down to 160 for 10th, 72 for 20th, 21 for 50th, and 20 for every finisher) and also for the Points and KoM classifications (same scale as the stage points). I will apply the standings every day, so your projected points can change quite rapidly.
There is a subsidiary ranking, with points given to teams (on the same 80, 50, 35... scale) each day according to their points gained on the stage.
(For the team time trial, points are divided by 4 and rounded down, and only given to riders who finish in their team's main group, so 20, 12, 8, down to 1 for 7th, and only the top 7 teams)
Entering the game
By PM to me at Velorooms or Cycling News (you can't send a PM at Cycling News if you are a new member, and I'm not sure that I would trust CN on the day of its switchover to a new format on Wednesday) anytime up to the start of the race which is, I believe, noon in Brussels on Saturday 6th July.
Please give riders' names in CQ format (surname, then forename, particular care needed with Spanish, South American, Portuguese and Danish riders); if you use the dropbox spreadsheet with prices, the names are already in the right format.
Please do not add info like team and points in submitting your team: I'll only have to delete those bits, so it is a waste of time for both of us.
If there are any rules that I have forgotten to include here, then precedent applies.
