2026-2028 Emerging Riders CQ Game

(btw in spanish, 2nd surname is redundant - as there are 2nd name in other languages - except if it helps to better identify the person in the case the first one is very common).
Personally, I believe a combination of 1 name + 1 surname should be always enough except very exceptional cases. And no one will call Héctor by his 2nd surname, as it is even more forgettable than the 1st one so it doesn't give him any identity. Martínez is like Smith in english, it has no personality - and it comes from someone that has Martínez twice in his 8 first surnames jaja

Well, in this case it's because we always use CQ-style names in these games, rather than go by what they're actually known as.

To refer to somebody, certainly it suffices in most circumstances. Situations like two Ben Kings as there were a few years ago are rare, and Spanish names don't need, it would appear, to protect against the potential duplication more than others.


But in game entries, I'd continue to ask for the CQ version of the name so that I can simply paste it into the spreadsheet, otherwise I have to look up what name will return the relevant values in all the field I need. That's not too bad if others have already submitted the name, but is a bit of a pain and more so if I need to try to identify him among several CQ names, and be sure it is the one that the player intends.
