It's confusing.

KB is the USAC/NEBRA recognized state championships, this is the first year I think.

Nutmeg State Games is a CT-run, CT-monitored, CT-"Olympics". It has nothing to do with USAC/USCF/etc. In fact, this year the Nutmeg crit was non-USAC (like Quabbin, some other races).

So... top Nutmeg racers are recognized by the entity "Nutmeg State Games" as champs/whatever.

Top CT racers in the KB crits are recognized by NEBRA/USAC as CT champs.

I think the New Britain Crit (same venue as Nutmeg for those not from the area) are the New England championships, so recognized by NEBRA/USAC.
