Do the new rules apply to races raced last year?

We went over the upgrade rules at a board meeting this past Saturday.
Here are the changes:

The rules have been modified slightly to make more sense.

The 5 to 4 upgrade has been changed slightly to add "or 15 points".

The 4 to 3 upgrade has been pared down- all the confusing language has
been distilled down to “or experience in 25 races.”

12 months has been changed to “the previous 12 months” to clarify that
points can’t be from a 12 month period back in the 1960’s.

A notation has been added that all upgrade points cannot come from a
weekly series. We also clarified how mixed fields are counted for
upgrades.

Cyclocross rules have been changed to be more in line with what we
have had in the past. (CCX categories are self selected.)
