I'll second that motion.



And, God please stop the Even Steven thread. It's making my head hurt.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] State Championship 3/4/5 field





Apparently the State Championship is scheduled to be a men's 3/4/5 field.

As

I'm sure men cat 3 and 4/5 riders are aware, that with the exception of 1 or



2 OBRA races, OBRA is able to put on separate races for cat 3 and cat 4/5.

They have these races for the rehearsal as well. The cat 3 and cat 4/5

races

have big enough fields to support them. So why in the biggest race of the

year does OBRA have a combined 3/4/5 field?



I suggest to put your opinion into the race organizers and OBRA if you

agree.

The cat 4/5 championship race is just a cat 4/5 race to be held on May 24th.

This day is the rehearsal race for many other categories. The cat 3/4/5

race on June 14th is just another race for us. Look back at the race flyer.

The prizes make it obvious which races are championships and which are just

for fun.

The way the rehearsal is set up is fine. I find it more difficult to find a

reason to race against the Cat 3 in the Cat 3/4/5 as I am a Cat 4 also.

Does the part of the flyer possibly mean that 4/5 will be scored out of the

3/4/5 field?



    " All categories are tentative and must have 5 or more riders, or riders

will be combined with other classes. Some classes will be grouped together

and scored separately depending on size."
