Scoring Points
Once you registered a team, your riders can start scoring points for you. They can only do that in the races on our calendar. The chicabike-points in those races are equal to the corresponding CQ/UCI-points: 
  WCRR WCTT & CDM 1.1, 2.1 & CC1  2.1s
1 200 100 80 16
2 170 70 56 11
3 140 40 32 6
4 130 30 24 5
5 120 25 20 4
6 110 20 16 2
7 100 15 12
8 90 10 8
9 80 9 7
10 70 8 6
11 60 7 5
12 50 6 3
13 40 5
14 30 4
15 20 3
16 15
17 10
18 8
19 5
20 3
leader 8

WCRR = World Championships Road Race & Olympic Games Road Race
WCTT = World Championships Time Trial & Olympic Games Time Trial
CDM = World Cup
1.1 = One day races, category .1
2.1 = Final ranking stage races, category .1
CC = Continental Championships Road Race
2.1s = Stages in stage races, category .1

In a team time trial the points on the scale will be awarded to the team. These points will be divided by the number of riders counting for the team classification and rounded downwards. The points will be awarded to all riders classified in the time that counts for the team classification.
The Chica-rule of 8!

 Only the 8 best scoring riders of each selection can score points, both in one day races as in stage races. As from the 9th rider in a selection who earns CQ-points in that race, ZERO chicabike-points are awarded for that rider in that particular race. 
The Chica-reference & corrections

 * The source for the Chicabike results is either www.cyclingnews.com or www.uci.ch.  In case of doubt, the official UCI-result is the only one applying.

* If a result is corrected, this will be taken into account for the Chicabike competition when the correction is made within 5 (= FIVE !) 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.
Classifications

* 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. For this classification, all races that are past, are taken into account. At the end of september, after the World Championships, the final ranking (final general classification) will be announced.

* 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.
Prizes

In principle, no diamonds or other prizes can be won with Chicabike.  The winner at the end of the season can expect, however, a mount of congratulations, a bunch of jealous glances and eternal fame.
