32 RULES AND ELIGIBILITY RACING AGE Your racing age is determined as of December 31, LICENSING & CITIZENSHIP Collegiate National Championships: Riders must have an annual USA Cycling Collegiate license in order to compete. Para-Cycling National Championships: Riders must have an annual USA Cycling license in order to compete. All participants must be U.S. Citizens with USA UCI code. COLLEGIATE ELIGIBILILTY & QUALIFICATIONS 1. All riders/teams must bring this form with them to packet pick-up to verify their full-time status: Riders will not be allowed to start their races without this form. 2. To register, each rider s Conference Director must first check off that the rider has met both the minimum race requirements (#3-4 below), and qualified for one of the conference s allocated start spots (#5 below). 3. To compete in the criterium or road race, riders need to have competed as a category A rider in at least three conference mass start races this season. 4. To compete in the team time trial, riders must have competed as a category A rider in at least two races this season. (This means that any category collegiate rider can enter the National Championship TTT event, so long as they have entered two category A TTTs this season.) 5. Each conference is allocated a finite number of start spots in the criterium and road races. To earn one of these spots, in addition to the minimum requirements (#3-4 above), riders must rank highly enough in the conference either as a team or individual. Each conference determines differently how many of these spots go to teams and how many go to individuals, so ask your conference director or team leader for details.
