Note that, while this hasn’t happened yet, it appears USAC intends to make some changes to the category system and upgrade policy, including:
- Upgrade decisions will be handled by USAC instead of the Local Associations
- Name change for Cat 5 / MTB Cat 3
- Allowing at-will upgrades between some categories
- Simplifying the points structured for voluntary and mandatory upgrades in higher categories
So, who’s to say how it will work?
