NCTS rules state that once you compete in a particular race category in an NCTS race you must remain in that same category for all future NCTS races in that calendar year.

An athlete’s age for any USAT sanctioned race will be his/her age as of December 31, 2010. The age he/she is on 12/31 will determine his/her racing age group. If an athlete is due to “age-up” into the next group, it will happen at the beginning of the year, not after the athlete’s birthday.
