Important CX Nats and Easterns notes!

[Steven Hopengarten]

Hey All,

With the last weekend approaching there are some key details that anybody going to Nationals needs to be aware of:

1) Your team must be registered for 2012 with USACycling 
2) You must have a 2012 USACycling Collegiate License 
3) You must be at least at Category 3 rider with at least 1 start in the ECCC Cyclocross series to be allowed to race (we will release an eligible riders list soon)
4) You must have proof from your school that you are indeed a full time student in good standing with the form provided at [1], do this BEFORE THE REGISTRAR CLOSES
5) You must pre-register for nationals before it closes on at 9:59 pm MST 12/28/11 [2], there is no day-of registration.

Also, Easterns is this weekend, in Fitchburg MA, and all events are worth double points, this is your last chance to qualify for nationals if you plan on going.  Registration can be found on the ECCC Calendar Page [3], and closes today at 5PM.

Please note there will be podiums & medals for winners of each race, and awards, jerseys, trophies for season team and individual overall winners. Tim and I will be there with our spreadsheets to churn out the final overall standings on site.
