CORRECTION....Everyone sorry for any confusion I caused with the explanation
of how the categories would be sent off for the Handicap Series.
My understanding of the relationship of higher/lower categories to Cat 1-5
was the inverse.
To be clear the category 5 riders will be sent off first with the subsequent
categories sent to follow. Categories will possibly be combined depending on
field sizes.
Thanks,
Josh LeBus
