As already mentioned in the main game thread, and building on last year's WWT game, the time has come for a proper season-long, all races (well, those that give points) version of the game focussed on women riders.
Your team A maximum of 16 riders, with a maximum total CQ score in 2023 of 4000 points. The spreadsheet dated 11th Dec downloadable from here is almost certainly the final reckoning as to their costs, although if there is a download on 1st Jan (or 31 Dec) that will supersede it. I do not believe that there are any riders that require a doping limitation on scores to be applied, but if so (perhaps someone will tell me if I have overlooked anyone likely to be selected to whom it does apply) her cost will be the last score unaffected by suspension or a ban, or any higher score since then.
Entries A simple list of 16 names, no need for team names or cost details, and preferably in the CQ format (surname before forename; Spanish, Danish and Portuguese names not necessarily as you would guess, former surnames in brackets: if you can find the correct version your host will be eternally grateful) Send by PM to me before the start of the Santos Women's Tour Down Under on 12th January (Stage 1 starts at 11:10 local time of Friday morning. That is 01:10 CET, or 00:10 GMT/UTC). I will try to get back to you if there are problems with your team, but if time runs out then I will remove the minimum number of riders necessary to bring you back within budget (if two riders are at same cost, I will remove the first one alphabetically), and your team will have 15 (or fewer) members.
Points Your score is the total CQ points won by your 16 selected riders throughout 2024: I believe that the the last is Vuelta Internacional Femenina a Costa Rica ending on 20th October. Any points earned before your team is submitted (eg from Australian national championships) will not be credited to your team. If your team reaches me before any pre-Santos event, then you will get points from that event, so if you want to pick someone who you think will get early points, get the team in quickly.
Updates I hope to update approximately fortnightly, but please be patient, especially during Grand Tours and in the midst of the Spring Classics. I will not be doing a green jersey or polka jersey because of the likely inconsistency of updates. Nudge me if it gets to three weeks with no updates.
Last year was a bit experimental, but hopefully this can now become an established part of the stable of CQ games here for some time. The more entrants, the more likely that will be the case, so learn a bit more about the women's peloton if you need to, have a go, and enjoy seeing how they get on in 2024.
