I was wondering what other parts of the country were doing with the new USAC categories for cross.

In the bay area, the promoters have effectively ignored the new categories and are still racing A/B/C. They've provided guidelines for racers based on the numerical categories, but it's all voluntary. I think it's going something like this -- A = 1, B = 2, 3, C = 3, 4. One promoter did this: A= 1-3, B = 2 - 4, C = 4.

It will be interesting to see where USAC decides to goe with this since I think many of the local associations are basically ignoring the new categories.

For women, we have A, B, C and 35+. They stagger us so we're all on the course at the same time. Seems to work pretty well.
