\nThe complete list of all riders that raced in the 2012 NPS and their new categories for 2013 can be found below:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2013 NPS Rider Categories<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Several riders have upgraded themselves during the 2012 season and thus will continue in the category they upgraded to, or have been identified for upgrade.<\/p>\n

Riders are welcome\/encouraged to upgrade themselves to a higher category if they feel that they will have more of a challenge, it also means you will get better value out of your licence and entry fee by racing an additional lap!<\/p>\n

Clubs are also requested to help riders decide their categories for 2013, and give riders on-the-border a little nudge up to the next category.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With regard to downgrading, a rider will need to specifically request to be downgraded<\/strong> by sending an email with the subject \u201c2013 XC NPS category downgrade request\u201d to the XC Co-ordinator<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

You will need to include your full name, CI licence number, your 2012 category you competed in, and the 2013 category you are requesting to be downgraded to.<\/span>
\n You will also need to include a paragraph justifying why you require downgrade.<\/span>
\n Your request will be reviewed by the grading panel and you will be advised an answer well in advance of the first NPS.<\/span><\/p>\n

All requests must be received before 1st March 2013.<\/strong>
\nAny requests received after this date will not be processed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any questions\/queries please drop an email to: the XC co-ordinator<\/a><\/p>\n
