Eligibility and Licence RequirementsTranscend said:Just so you know, you will need a UCI license to race in Canada.
Canada Cup events are open to all riders who are in possession of either a full International licence or a one-event membership. Foreign riders with a UCI recognized licence, may also enter Canada Cup events. Domestic licences of any origin are not acceptable. Proof of a valid licence must be provided at the time of race kit pick up, or upon demand by a race official. Riders who fail to produce a valid licence will not be permitted to compete underany circumstances. Riders are solely responsible to ensure that all licence requirements are met.
One-Event Membership
The sale of one-event memberships is permitted for citizen, beginner and sport categories only. A limit of three (3) one-event memberships per season may be sold to a single individual. Riders are obligated to upgrade to a full licence after the third event. One-event membership shall not be sold to expert and/or elite riders. These categories must hold a full licence. Riders should consult their provincial/territorial associations for the restrictions on one-event memberships.
Note: In Canada, the process of administering and issuing licences is under provincial/territorial jurisdiction. Policies and procedures may vary across Canada.
Note: New policy concerning athletes in possession of a NORBA domestic licence. These participants will be permitted to purchase a one-event membership in the equivalent category as stated on the NORBA domestic licence. This will include all categories up to and including Expert. Elite category status is reserved exclusively for international licence holders.
Fraser,
I got this from a 2002 Canada Cup rule book I had from a while ago. Do you know if it is still acurate? I'm only an Expert level racer.
