I think that maintaining reciprocity is a good idea. A number of OBRA members race in Washington (Seattle) and California. I bet that some will travel to Nationals in the coming years. It seems to me that aligning OBRA's cyclocross categorization with USCF's will best serve those OBRA members. The realignment won't be without some hand wringing but I'm sure that everything will get worked out pretty quickly. Some might consider it a bitter pill that we have to follow the lead of the 800# gorilla. I agree that OBRA shouldn't be like USCF but we're just talking about letters and numbers here. Of course we are living in the last bastion of English measurement in the world ...

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.
