   When the registration is valid, you will receive a confirmation mail in the next 24 hours. This e-mail contains a password for our login pages, where you can start building your team.

• There is no registration fee.

• You can change the password that you receive, when you are logged in.

• Everybody who hasn't selected a valid team at the end of the registration period, will be removed from the players list and will not participate in Chicabike.

• Each participant is allowed to subscribe with only 1 team. The organization has the right to refuse a team when there are clear signs that 1 person is sending in more than one team using other names.

• Family members can't use the same e-mail address. 

• Each participant is granted a 'back number'. This back number is equal to your final position in the previous year. People who did not participate last year get a back number in order of registration.

• The organization has the right to refuse the team name of a participant, when this team name is deontological inappropriate.

• With his/her participation, every participant agrees to the official rules and every decision of the organizers.

• If you want to choose a rider who is not on the selection list, you can send a request to add that rider to the list (button "request new rider"). 
• It is the explicit responsability of the participant to check the correct registration of his/her team and to report possible faults.
• Do NOT wait until the utter registration deadline to send in a complete team! Server problems are always possible.

Example:
At your registration the total amount of CQ-points of your initial selection of 15 riders = 6850 points.  Because your working budget was 7000 points, your rest budget at the beginning of the competition will be 150 points.

When you then, during the first transfer periode, want to change Johansson (e.g. 1600 points on the new CQ-list) and Bronzini (e.g. 900 points), your working budget will be 150+1600+900=2650 points.  Thus, the total amount of CQ-points of your 2 new riders has to be less than 2650.  When you pick, for example, Vos (e.g. 1750 points) and Longo Borghini (e.g. 850 points), your new rest budget will be 2650-1750-850=50 points.  This rest budget can be used during the next transfer period (but it will not be added to your Chicabike-points!)

• Races which have place during a transfer period belong to the previous period. The transfers done during a transfer period will start to count from the first race after the end of the transfer period.
• If you want to choose a rider who is not on the transfer list, you can send a request to add that rider to the list (button "request new rider"). 
• Do NOT wait until the final minutes of the transfer period to send in your transfers!  

• The source for the Chicabike results is www.cqranking.com.
• If a result is corrected, this will be taken into account for the Chicabike competition when the correction is made within 5 days after the end of the race (a race held on February 28th will not be corrected after March 5th 23.59 p.m.).  E.g. when a rider is crossed out from a result after one month, because of a positive doping control, then the concerning result will not be corrected.
• The rule above also applies for incomplete results.  On the basis of an incomplete result a provisional result can be calculated.  If, after 5 days, still no complete result is available, this result is considered definite.
• Should a race (or a stage) be cancelled (for any reason whatsoever), then no points will be awarded for this race.

• Result per race: After every race a classification of all chicabike players will be made.  In case of an ex-aequo (two or more participants score the same amount of points) the players will be classified in decreasing order of rest budget.  If the rest budget is equal as well, the backnumber is decisive (in rising order). In a stage race there will be a classification per stage, one for the final ranking and a total classification (stages and final ranking).
• Ranking = General classification: The most important ranking, determined by the sum of all points scored in Chicabike races. The winner of Chicabike is the participant who scored the most points at the end of October, after the Tour of Guangxi Women's WorldTour.
• Other rankings: there are many other rankings and statistics: A ranking per period, the world cup ranking, the victory ranking, ... They can all be found on our statistics page.

• The organization has the right to change the calendar, when the UCI adds a new race to their calendar or changes the race category of a race.
