The 2026 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

[T]oday kind of felt like it was meant to drive home the point that this is not going to be a high-scoring year.

A quick update on that; we are a bit ahead of last year's post P-N/T-A update. Leader is 3381 now vs. 2928 then. 10th place is 2802 now vs. 2354 then.

My own team has 400 points more now compared to last year, but I'm in 22nd instead of 15th.

So our low-scoring feeling isn't quite back up by data yet. But I guess 451 rare Almeida points felt better than 412 very common Seixas points this year. And some other contributors like Laporte, LVE and C-Rod are also very popular, so they're maybe overlooked a bit when judging how well one's doing.

Maybe @EvansIsTheBest will have more to say about this soon. They usually have a post-MSR rundown of how we're comparing to previous years, IIRC.

This is what I've been saying man. I'm doing my best numbers ever, but the others are just going faster!

Last year started extremely slow because both Vingegaard and Van Aert were doing terrible at this point, though.

Big weeks coming up for the Jakobsen owners. Nokere Koerse, Bredene, Monseré, Brugge, Scheldeprijs. He should be in profit after that.

With my luck, he will have a cramp on the Nokereberg, crash because of it and not return for a few months.
