I am getting a few messages every day. This is to help you understand the
new categories. We are all working through this change.

If you were a Beginner you are a 5

If you were a Cat C you are a 4

If you were a Cat B you are a 3

If you were a Cat A and do not have a USAC 1, you are a 2

If you were a Cat A and a USAC 1, you are a 1.

There is no self-upgrade to Cat 2 or Cat 1. This must be earned.

A Cat 3 rider may ride in either the ¾ or the 2/3, or even in both if they
wanted. Likewise a ¾ or 2/3.

Juniors age 9-18 who are Cat 3, 4, or 5 will ride in the regular Junior
field

Juniors 13-18 who are Cat 1, 2 or 3 will ride in the Elite Junior field

Juniors under the age of 12 may not ride in an adult field

A mixed field, like ¾ or 2/3 will be scored as 1 field. The separate
categories will not be broken out.

Questions?
