I think that's a great idea. There was so much discussion about
sandbagging this year that a formal system for selecting categories
makes sense.

Maintaining reciprocity between USCF and OBRA is also a good idea for
those of us who occasionally travel to other states to race.

Currently OBRA categorizes riders for cyclocross in three groups; A, B
and
C. These are self selected categories.

USCF is going to start to categorize riders for cyclocross into
categories 1
through 4.

Is there interest in maintaining reciprocity between OBRA and USCF
categories for cyclocross similar to what we currently do for road and
track
categorization? If we do this it will require some negotiation with
USAC.
It will also likely require that we swallow their system whole; i.e.
change
the categories to 1 through 4, have criteria for categorization rather
than
have it be self selected, etc.

Let us know what you think.
