So, here we go with the 4th edition of the Women's version of the famous CQ game. Who will join Rufs*, Bminchow and Ruvu (*: first edition would have been won by DJW if the same rules had applied that year as since) as holders of the presigious, coveted, and imaginary trophy?
It could, as the lottery have taught us, be you: all you need to do is choose 16 women riders, who between them scored 4000 points or fewer (my wife despairs of me if I say 'less') during 2025. The final points tally for 2025 is not published yet, but for all but the most eclectic of selections the prices will be their points in the download dated 8th November here, or found in the table here.
A slight difference from the main game that Skidmark runs: I do not impose any restrictions on the prices of returning riders from a suspension (I can't think off the top of my head of any likely cases anyway). The game runs for the full season (so technically I am premature in listing Ruvu as the 2025 winner in the first paragraph), but don't be surprised if I don't pay much attention to it after mid-October. I won't set any ambition of weekly updates as Skidmark does, but if it goes more than three weeks, feel free to prompt me.
Other than that, the main piece of info you'll need is the closing date for entries: send your teams to me by PM by the start of the Australian Elite Women's race on 11th January (so those in Europe and the US will probably need to do so on 10th). The farther in advance you send me your team, the more chance you will have to make adjustments if I uncover an error in your calculations. If I haven't sent you an acknowledgement within 24 hours, by all means send a note to make sure it arrived.
You will help me greatly if you can make sure that you submit the names in the same version as CQ use. It's also handier if you don't put anything else on the same line: I don't need their ages, teams or 2025 prices, and would only have to manually delete such before it goes in the spreadsheet.
Thanks in advance for entering, good luck to the riders you select, and enjoy the game (as I will almost certainly say in the confirmation PMs, unless I get an uncharacteristic burst of originality).
By all means tell others and let's increase the participation here: we are typically high 20s in terms of players, but the more the merrier.
And if your post-Christmas, pre-New Year decision making season is not already overloaded with this, the men's equivalent, and the Emerging Women's Game, I would expect to have the three year Emerging Men's game up by the end of the day.
