Attention: You're now allowed to pick a maximum of 12 riders
Inspired by the fact that I had to look past a lot of young prospects in the selection process for @Armchair cyclist's brilliant game, and also in light of someone (probably accidentally) picking a female neo-pro for the season long men's game, I thought it could be interesting to host an emerging riders game for the women.
The reason why I haven't yet entered any of the men's emerging riders games, has been because I'm way too impatient to wait three years for them to get concluded.
I've therefore decided that this first, and potentially last, edition of this game will solely be based on results from the 2024 season.
Rules
For this trial game, you may select a team of up to 12 female riders, who had scored a maximum of 199 CQ points during their careers before the start of the 2024 season.
You will of course have a better chance of winning if you pick the full 12, but this gives you the opportunity to take part without necessarily having to spend a lot of time researching the women's peloton.
I will probably make subrankings of teams with fewer than 12 riders, so everyone might still be able to win some kind of honour.
CQ points from all 2024 races will count, including races that take place before the submission deadline.
Submission and deadline
I have no idea how many people who will be interested in taking part, but for now I've set the deadline at the start of the European season, which with the introduction of races on Mallorca will be on the 20th of January. Depending on how many entries I've received by then, the deadline could be extended.
But if you want to make sure you get a place in the game, send me your list of riders in a PM before the 20th of January (depending on which timezone you're residing in).
To help me out, it would be much appreciated if you list the riders with the names and formats from the CQ database. Note that riders sometimes get married during the off-season which might result in a name change. The ones I know who have changed names ahead of this season aren't eligible for this game though, but there could easily be some that I have missed. I'll probably be able to spot most mistakes myself, but it would make me very happy if you did your utmost to help me out.
Updates
I will try to keep you updated on how the game unfolds throughout the year, but anyone who's aware of my Amy Pieters Trofee prediction game will know, that I can't promise that I'll do as good of a job as @skidmark and @Armchair cyclist have done in their games. However it should in theory be easier for me to keep track on the scores for this one.
