Hey cyclingnews folks,
the 16th edition of the CQ Manager Game is starting in less than 5 days, so this is an annual post in the Road Racing forum to serve as a reminder for returning players or a heads-up for those who may not have heard of it before. I know it's likely that many forum users don't regularly visit the Games and Fantasy Cycling section, so this post is also intended to call attention to the game and that forum in general. Lots of fun stuff going on there that can make following cycling even more interesting!
The premise of the game is simple - you act as a team manager, picking between 25 and 33 riders for the year, spending no more than 7500 CQ points (as detailed by cqranking.com). Cyclingnews forums poster Hugo Koblet invented the game, and since 2011 it has become a tradition for many folks on here - last year there were 94 teams, and it would be great to keep that up.
Anyway, details are to be found on this thread. I recognize this is being posted in the road forum, and don't intend for this to be a discussion thread here - I wanted to post it temporarily here for a few days (deadline for entry is 23:59 CET January 6th), since it's the offseason and folks may not be aware of its existence. If you haven't played before, you should try it out! Even if it might be a bit of a learning curve, you'll have plenty of riders to follow throughout the ups and downs of the year, and you might gain an interest in races you never really knew about before.
If you have questions etc, I encourage you to ask them in the main game thread I've linked to, or by PM.
(note to mods: I've asked if it's okay to post this reminder thread here in PRR in the past, and it has been fine - if anything has changed, please let me know)
