4) How Do I form or Get On a Team: Only OBRA registered teams are
eligible to compete for the Castelli Blind Date Team Prizes. Only
racers registered with OBRA as a member of a team before a race starts
will have their points from that race tallied towards their team
standings.

5) FAQ

a. Is it too let to either get on a team or to add riders to an
existing team:
Answer: No. You can do so at any time, per the OBRA requirements, and
the new teammate's points will commence tabulating at the next Blind
Date race.

b. If our team has ten riders in Men's A, and none in Beginner
Women, how does that count for us in the standings?
Answer: The team's single top-placed finisher from the Men's A field
will have his points count. The other nine racers' points from the
Men's A field will not count. Because it has no entered Beginner Women,
the team will not be eligible for points from the Beginner women field.

c. Can one rider earn points in two categories?
Answer: A rider could theoretically earn points in three categories,
such as Stampede, single speed and women's B.

d. What about juniors?
Answer: Castelli is offering separate individual prizes for the top
juniors in our four junior fields for season standings (see race flyer
for details), plus 21st Avenue bicycles is offering weekly prizes.
However, points from juniors racing in senior fields will count towards
their team's results.

e. What does it cost to join the Castelli Blind Date Team
Competition?
Answer: No additional entry fee!

f. Must our team sign up for the Castelli Blind Date Team
Competition?
Answer: No, points will be automatically tabulated for each
participating member of each OBRA registered team.

g. Where can I post to find a team or to recruit riders for our
team?
Answer: Try our Blind Date Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/groups/146750388669378/ or the social media of
your choice.

h. How deep do prizes go?
Answer: Castelli is offering a single prize of $1,000 plus 12 custom
cyclocross skin suits to the winning team.

Hope this helps clarify things! This is an awesome prize from Castelli,
so get recruiting! -Tony & Joe
