For NORBA Men's Sport 30-34 Cross Country Rankings...

Problem is they only have about 1/2 the races listed that he competed in. He should be further up the list than where he is but Single Speed racing really isn't accepted in NORBA so there is no point structure for him.

What's dicked-up is that he gets points only if they post the results in the Sport Class.

That's screwed up.

Any idea when NORBA is going to make it fair to the SS class racers?

Oh... heads-up Texas SS'ers... he's gunning for #1 this year and he's been racing & placing in the Fall AR series....

Just race is whatever your normal class is. Seems simple enough. Is there a full suspension class now too? Tubeless tire class?

I guess there is another side of the argument:

SS'ers might have advantage since the standings are based on number of races and their placing.

A rider could do a geared race with 40 racers, flat and get 40th, or do a SS race with 9 racers, flat and get 9th. He will get better points and has less competetion in SS, but gets the same points as the other sport racers....
