Hi Kerry,

In which AERC region were you riding? The rules state that placings may be given, but not that they have to be given. Most rides in Central and Southeast regions will place the riders. Some rides give no awards for the placements, but they will at least call out the placements. We have never seen any problems with the placements - which is the reason given by some as to why they don't place the LD's.
