All riders on a team must hold current USCF annual licenses in order for any of them to be eligible for LCCS points.
Teams with mixed LCCS Classes/Categories will compete in the class/category of the most advanced team member according to the following hierarchy.
Cat. 1,2; Cat. 3; Cat. 4; Cat. 5; Master 35+; Master 45+; Junior
Teams composed entirely of Master or Junior riders must elect in advance to compete in either the appropriate Skill Category or Age-Graded LCCS race. For example, a 2-man team composed of a Cat. 2 master 35+ rider and a Cat. 4 master 35+ rider may compete in either the Cat. 2 competition or the Master 35+ competition.
Riders in mixed LCCS class/category teams who are competing outside of their correct categories, are not eligible for LCCS points. For example, a Cat. 5 rider on a team that includes a Cat. 4 rider does not receive LCCS points.
