RE: [RC] Reminder about deadline for wt/region changes - bobmorris

Diane: Rule 8.7 has no reference to weight and changing of weight divisions
is not contingent upon the 1 June date. This date impacts regional status
only and was instituted to preclude regional changes that some members, in
the past, attempted for purposes of skewing year end point standings.

To all AERC members, 



May 31 is the last date for region and weight division changes in the 

2008 ride season. You should check what your current status is... 

What rule specifies ANY time limit for changing your weight division? 

Rule 8.7 specifies that if you move prior to June 1, your points and 

mileage will be recorded in the region to which you move. After that, 

your points and mileage will be recorded in your old region. 

If in fact there is a similar requirement for weight, then what is the 

point of rules 8.5.2.5, 8.5.3 and 8.5.4.1? 

8.5.2.5 For a rider to stay within a weight division he/she must meet 

the minimum requirement but need not stay under the maximum parameter. 

8.5.3 Each rider riding for weight division points may be weighed at any 

ride. 

8.5.4.1 The AERC will disqualify any members found to have deliberately 

given AERC fraudulent information regarding weight, age or any matter 

affecting national or regional awards. No points or miles awarded for 

entire year. 

If these rules mean that if you lose weight, you HAVE TO CARRY WEIGHTS 

TO LEGALLY RIDE AND YOU CAN BE DQ'D AND LOSE ALL YOUR MILES AND POINTS 

FOR THE WHOLE YEAR if you do not, why, for such an important violation, 

are the words "carry" and "weights" not mentioned anywhere in the rules? 

Can you get around rule 8.5.4.1 and not be accused of fraud by putting 

on your ride entries the division your weight really falls in (even 

though the office apparently will record your points in your weight 

division as of June 1)? 

A more likely interpretation of the above rules is that you have to ride 

in the weight division into which your actual weight falls, regardless 

of what day of the year it is... that is unless you can show us the rule 

that SAYS June 1 is a cut off for weight divisions. 

I realize that having to record points in two divisions in a ride year 

means it would be almost impossible to win a weight division award, but 

remember, the above rules were written in the days before AERC decided 

to give out so many weight awards (or any?).
