I am in favor of OBRA staying out of telling promoters what they can and
can't do. That's what the USCF spends a great deal of energy doing and
that's why many are unhappy with them.

OBRA does not have a similar rule limiting prizes for Cat 5. I personally
would be in favor of a rule that limited Cat 4/5 races to medals, ribbons,
etc. (items of minimal economic value), Cat 3 races limited to merchandise
and Pro/Cat 1/2 races may receive cash. The race designation would be by
the fastest category in the race, e.g. riders in a Cat 2/3 could win cash.
What does everyone else think?

One reason for having a combined IV/V field in a USCF race is rule 1F5(a)
that prohibits any prize of commercial value being awarded to a cat V race.
What's the OBRA take on this rule?

Subject: RE: [OBRA Chat] Giving cat 3's a choice ...
As to the idea making life for new riders (Cat 5) easier, I am in full
agreement. Last year when I asked people about what kept them from going
to
more events I received several comments from people that went to their
first
race, generally a 4/5 field, and got blown out the back in short order.
They then concluded that they were not fit enough to be bike racers and
didn't come back. Usually I get blown out fairly quickly the first few
races of the year too but I have been doing this long enough to know that
eventually I will be going OK later in the season. Beginning riders do
not
have the benefit of that experience. I think if we want the sport to grow
it is essential that organizers try to offer some field that will be
accessible to the beginning racer. Let's have some more Cat 5 only and
Cat
4 women races.
