I agree. Also, I think that fact partially accounts for the large

turnout. In road racing, I have seen many people get dropped and ride

hard to finish, only ask the officials what their place was, and be

disappointed that their finish was not recorded. Often you do not see

those people returning. In running and tri events everyone gets

recorded, and failure to do so often discourages those racers who are

not able to stay with the pack. I am not suggesting that we further

burden officials in road racing, as it is difficult enough to determine

the top 15, particularly if there is more than one field on the course.

I am only pointing out that it does seem to be a factor with respect to

participation.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Cyclocross Officials and Results

I just wanted to post a GIGANTIC thank you to the officials (led by

Terri Camp) for scoring the cyclocross crusade races.

As a promoter, it is our job to get people to the races to have a great

time battling amongst their friends and other like-minded individuals.

We have very little to do with officiating and scoring these races, and

it is an absolutely huge endeavor with the number of athletes we are

getting at the races.

The easier way to score these races would be to simply record the top 18

places in every category (the ones who get points) and leave it at that.

However, our officials are scoring EVERY SINGLE athlete that

participates. This is where I think they all need to receive a pat on

the back.

Thanks and keep up the great work,

Brian Witty
