Yes, I have read all the posts regarding categories here in Japan, but am still very confused. Surely it shouldn't be up to me to decide what category I am.
The way that I remeber it in the UK was...
Points were given to the first six places in a race, and this was recorded on the back of the racing license. For premier calander races, the placing/points were for the top 10.
3rd Cat - Basically novices, or those that had scored less than 10 points on their license.
2nd Cat - If you scored more that 10 points on your license, you are promoted to 2nd Cat. You have no choice.
1st Cat - scoring an additional 35 points on your license as a 2nd Cat will get you promoted to 1st Cat. Again, no choice.
The reason that I can understand the system her is that I get to choose which Cat I am, and there dosen't seem to be a lot on consistency in the national system vs local systems.
Yesterday, I had the choice of 'Sports', 'Beginner', 'Intermediate', and 'Elite'! I rode the beginner race for a luagh and won, but there were another 30 in my race that were no more beginner than I am.
Is there any plans to intro a nationwide system that covers all races?
