Many teams operate as a club and/or have open registration, or are specifically set up as developmental teams for newer riders/racers. This enables new racers to have a group of people to ride with, train with, and help in connecting them with the cycling/racing community. Racing as part of a team has nothing to do with your experience level nor your level of commitment. Each team is different and has different requirements, etc. Many teams had first time racers in the event and in the series.

So if I'm a 5 and this is my 1st race I'd prefer to race in the 5 field versus going against 4's but when I upgrade I'll lose series points?

It all depends on the course and the individual promoters. The 1/2/3 Women will be doing approximately 50-60 miles while the 3/4 Women and juniors will be doing about 25-40 miles.

I'm also trying to recruit some juniors and they are asking about mileage as well. JM Any idea yet what the approximate distances are for Women 1/2/3 and 3/4?

As for the upgrades, this is how \ the USAC rule book under rule 1D2(c) reads: ...if the field contains mixed categories (i.e. cat 3-4), then the number of starters is the number of riders that are the same category or higher as the person requesting the upgrade (i.e, in a cat 3-4 combined field, all riders count for a 4 to 3 upgrade, but only the 3’s count for a 3 to 2 upgrade. The 3s and 4s will be scored together in the 3/4 race.
