Recreational license vs domestic racing license

[GaryvdM]

In another thread, someone queried what I said about Vets and racing license. So I went and read the CSA rules.

 

The following is quoted from this document: www.cyclingsa.com/App_Resources/Uploads/FILE00003111.pdf CYCLING SOUTH AFRICA RULES AND REGULATIONS Part 3: Road Cycling. In this matter, there are different rules for different categories of race:

 

3.20 ONE-DAY EVENTS: A1 – National Classics

.....

3.20.3.4 Veterans (Masters)

.....

3.20.3.4.2 Riders only require membership

 

 

3.21 ONE-DAY EVENTS: B1 – Provincial Classics

.....

3.21.3.4 Veterans (Masters)

....

3.21.3.4.2 Riders wishing to enter in any CyclingSA age category league has to obtain a full racing license.

 

3.22 ONE DAY EVENTS: C1 – Regional Events

....

3.22.3.2 Veterans / Masters & Women (Cat 2)

....

3.22.3.2.2 Riders wishing to enter in any CyclingSA age category league has to obtain a full racing license.

 

 

This seems a bit inconsistent to me. Why would one need a racing licence for provincial classics, and regional events, but not for national classics. It's maybe worth somebody clarifying this with CSA.
