The 2015 CRCA Masters 40+ Team Cup and Boyd Competition continues with the April 25 40+ club race and 40+ field at Orchard May 9 and Masters 1-4 field at Bear May 10
Draft Roster for Saturday March 28th's Race
Hi Racers! Looks like mother nature is finally willing to cooperate with us and let us race. We've attached the race roster to this post below. Please let us know if you see anything that looks incorrect. You can email membership issues to Randy <membership AT crca DOT net> or team issues to Alexis <teams AT crca DOT net>.
Racers in yellow are ineligible to race due to suspension or needing to complete a clinic. Season pass holders in purple still need to submit a waiver. Waivers can be submitted on race morning. Numbers can also be picked up at that time.
See you bright and early!

New Club Race Results Policy
As part of its ongoing efforts to improve Club Races, the CRCA Board is committed to accurate and timely reporting of results. Therefore, for the remainder of the 2014 season, full field results will be posted to CRCA.net by midnight on the same day of the race. Following a vote of the Board of Directors, the following rules will also be in effect beginning at this Saturday's 5/24 Club Race:
1) As is customary, top ten results for each field will be posted at the Rambles area of Central Park immediately following the race. Top ten results are final per USAC's rules 15 minutes after they are posted for dispute. If you believe you placed in the top ten, you should stay after the race to verify your result. If you are unable, please ask a teammate to stay for you. Top ten results will not be changed following this dispute period, no matter what.
2) All other results may be disputed before midnight on Tuesday by email. All disputes will be considered on Wednesday and email confirmations will be sent out then. Please note we will only consider disputes that are clearly a result of typos, transcription errors, or poorly-pinned bib numbers.
E.g., "I got 19th instead of 20th" is not a valid dispute, whereas "I did a very poor job of pinning my number. I think I am the unknown rider listed in 20th place. I'll do a better job of pinning my number next time" is a valid dispute.
3) Only the finishline camera will be considered in resolving disputes. No other photos can be submitted.
Please note that, unlike professional results services, CRCA does not own an 8ft tripod for its finishline camera. Your bib number should be pinned on your side rather than your back. Ask a friend to be sure that your bib number is visible.
Any disputes, questions, or concerns should be sent to clubracing@crca.net.
