Here's a thought to maybe spark some discussion:

The OBRA upgrade page for cyclocross says "Cyclocross categories are self-selected except for mandatory upgrades." "Mandatory" to me pretty much means "do it or else", except that I think some people are waiting to hear from OBRA before they do it, and I don't think there's an 'or else'.

Calculating points for individual riders is really time-consuming in the new system, and shouldn't be put on the OBRA staff. What if people were required to monitor their own upgrade points, and change categories within one week of earning their upgrade points, with a penalty for those that don't (like forfeiting your position for the race where you failed to upgrade). Would that encourage people to pay closer attention?

NO WAY CANDI...............we are just re-loading in stealth mode.
Which parts of the Crusade course will Tony / Joe and Crew sneak into the The Wednesday night “Love Nest”? Whatever? After the first lap all us little chirpers are settled in.
The perfect mid-week date awaits the flirtatious flock.
Now if for some reason lots of B masters were to choose not to race and this old shell of a racer placed in the top ten I would be happy and sad at the same time.
Come on out and feel the Blind Date Love!
