Bari,

Typically you need to type it all up with columns for all the criteria
(eg, date, race, location, distance, field size). List all your results
that give points (ie, top 6 or 7 depending on event) even if some
criteria aren't met. This allows some subjective room to make your
case; for instance, the distance might not be quite what the criteria
says, but maybe you got 4th out of 100 riders, which is a good result.
Write a short letter on why you deserve the upgrade, send it in and
wait. The less work you give someone to do the better, and don't make
up results; this is more common than you think!

Best,

> Can anybody out there tell me how to go about upgrading road categories? I was told by Candi that I need documentation to upgrade (which is posted on the web site). I have said that I want an upgrade to Candi only to get the reply about documentation and the upgrade rules are very vague. The rules only state what the criteria is, not how to go about said upgrade.
