I was looking something up on USAC and thought I could find a link to it from "My USAC" page. When I was there I noticed that I have 33 points on my license, based on the finishes of 9 races.

Are these upgrade points?

I ask because it doesn't seem like they are. According to my calculations, I have 14 points from this year (7+4+3), not 33. I placed 7th or worse in six of those nine races, and I don't think I get points for those races.

I only did crits, and they are supposed to have just 6 places for ponts. Even for road races, where the points go to 9 places, the numbers don't match. I got a point for a 10th place finish (?).

Is USAC trying out something new?

I'm looking here for upgrade point information:

They are not.

edit: they are points for the ranking system, i think.

It's not completely useless, it does provide a few pages of "content" for the website.

You ever watched "Who's Line Is It Anyways?"

The points on USAC's pages are just about as meaningful as that show's points.

If only they awarded "zip code champion" jerseys I'd rock 22025 Cat 3s.
