- While everyone is welcome to participate in the Canadian Cyclist Fantasy Tour, due to shipping costs and varying contest regulations around the world, prizes will only be awarded to North American players.
- Each participant must pick 9 riders and one team. Read the points scales before making your picks!
- In the event that two participants pick identical riders and teams, the entry that was submitted earliest will receive first selection in the event of a prize.
- Participants will be awarded points based on the performance of their riders and team in each race.
- For the Team Points, 5 points will be awarded after each event to the team which has most riders finishing in the top-20. In the event of a tie on number of riders, points will go to the team which has the highest individually placed rider.
- SPECIALIZED RULE: a Specialized rider win (ie, Gerolsteiner or Quickstep) scores double points.
- LANDIS RULE: any rider who receives a positive doping result at any time up to one week following the final event (Liege-Bastogne-Liege) will be docked all points from the date of the positive onward, plus a penalty of 20 points.
- The winner of the Canadian Cyclist Spring Classics Fantasy Tour is the participant who scores the most points.
- In the event of a tie on points (but not the same riders and team, as above), the number of event wins, number of second places etc. will be the tie-breaker.
- In the event of a dispute, Canadian Cyclist will make a final ruling.
