The principle is the same as the CQ games: pick a team of prescribed size to a budget that is based on the same scoring principle as they are trying to gain points in this time around, then sit back and watch in either wonderment or despair as they perform even beyond your hopes, or totally fail to meet your expectations of them.
But this is Cyclo-Cross, so things are a bit different:
25000 changed, see post #6 below 18000. This is based only on their elite level points, so the PCS site may lead you astray in regards to the price of any rider that was competing in underage events last year (and your riders might waste a lot of effort in U23 events this year. Which is why I have created a selection spreadsheet. Disturbingly, the PCS site doesn't seem to be offering the end of last season prices tonight (I hope that is sorted by the time the season is properly underway), and has some discrepancies where a table is visible, so these prices are from the spreadsheet I had last year: I hope they are right: I won't penalise anyone for using the prices I am publishing even if they are wrong. If anyone is seriously under budget in their submission, I'll let them know because that might have been problems of using the prices from the site.
Points for the whole season, from the Australian championships back in mid August to the Brussels University race in mid February (is there not usually the Oostmalle after that? This could be variable). That means some riders already have points, but experience from the two previous editions show that they are fairly insignificant. There probably are some riders who are already in profit, you are perfectly free to pick them if you want to.
Entries to me by PM on this site before theKermiscross on 16th October Essen Exact Cross on Saturday 18th October (extended in view of low uptake).
The two previous editions have each had only 7 players: hoping for a few more this time around.
I said recently I would get the launch up by the end of September: mission achieved in some time zones...
But this is Cyclo-Cross, so things are a bit different:
- The scores are from PCS, not CQ;
- Your team can have any balance of males and females that you wish;
- Points have already been earned by some riders, before we begin;
- Riders who are under 23, especially the men, might get lots of results that won't be of any benefit here.
