Honestly, that was meant as a simple question not as a slap to officials or anyone else.
Some riders also plan to upgrade by doing a certain number of races. You get 1point by showing up and racing for every race if you are a cat4, and that point counts towards your upgrade to cat3 if I'm not mistaken. 25minimum, or something like that.
Heck, if a rider wants to race up and get spanked and he has the minimum why not let him?
Others like to see where they end up in comparison to previous races/years/series, etc. Things like that are important to some people, and not to others...
Anyways. It wasn't meant as a primer to any trash talk. It was just a poorly phrased question on my part.
