Must be time to start this one up.
For those who already know the games: 4000 points, 8 riders, prices as of 20th June, selection tool, submit by 12:30 pm French time on 26 June.
If that does not tell you all you need to know, here is the fuller explanation. This is the latest in a series of games for which the points scheme at cqranking.com provides both the cost of the riders and the reward scale for their performance.
You have to select 8 riders whose total cost is 4000 points (or less), the cost of each rider being his CQ score for the year to 20th June (these were released in a CQ download on 21st); the points he can score are those given for stage top tens, GC position, KoM and Sprints Classifications and Yellow jersey wearer. The prices, start-list (as it gradually moves towards confirmation), and the scoring tables are in a spreadsheet here.
That spreadsheet (or the team lists that will usually appear in this thread a few days before the race starts) will also give the version of names that I would ask you to use when you send in your team: it makes my task of entering the teams into the game's spreadsheet easier if you would follow that name format (Surname[space]Forename; but care with Danish, Portuguese, Spanish and some other names is needed).
I will provide a daily breakdown of scores and standings, based on projected positions as the race progresses, and there will be a secondary classification (the green jersey game), based on stage points only.
Send your team to me by PM on VeloRooms or Cycling News forum before the race starts at 12:30 (French time) on Saturday 26th. If you choose anyone who does not start, or your team is overbudget, I will replace the non-starter (or cheapest single rider who can be removed to bring you under budget) with the next cheapest rider (and first alphabetically if there is more than one of the same price). If you don't leave it until the last moment, I will be able to alert you if there are any problems with your selection.
(Tuesday update) A new player, @Alien Performance , was the first to send in a team, and so gets to be moral guardian of my team.
By all means start thinking about your team, but don't commit to it until the prices are clarified; in the meantime, you could always alert others to the game and help boost the numbers taking part. And now (editing this on Monday 21st) it is time to start making those choices.
