Would staying with the A,B & C categories inhibit riders who may want to advance through the USCF categories? I would think it might be odd to race as a Cat A in OBRA, but then go to Seattle and have to race as a Cat 4 because USCF does not recognize our cyclocross categories like it does on the road and track. - Steven www.supersteveo.com -----Original Message----- From: Terry Keele [mailto:terry.-@agedwards.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 6:37 AM To: ob-@topica.com; mike.m-@obra.org Subject: RE: [OBRA Chat] Cyclocross categories no benefit comes to mind, why bother? mike.m-@obra.org wrote: 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.
