! Fall Planning Meeting 2013

The 2013 ECCC Annual Meeting was held November 9 at Bard College

!! Presentations

The following major presentations were given:
* USA Cycling and USAC Collegiate Overview
* ECCC 2013 Review
* ECCC 2015: Go Big or Go Home

Road promoter presentations will be posted shortly.

!! Outcomes

Most of the following points are keyed to the ECCC 2015 presentation.
The 2013 Road schedule will be posted to the [[Calendar.Current |
calendar]] shortly.


!!! Critical Components

The Critical Components in the ECCC 2015 proposal are tentatively supported. Many details on potential implementations need to be resolved to develop a more definite plan and collective agreement of what should be done, how, and when. In broad strokes these are:

* All teams required or expected to provide day-of volunteers for all races (i.e., course marshals)

* Entry fees bump up, closer to market value but still highly discounted; example Road schedule $20 crits, $25 road races, $30 TTT; ITT/HC remain $10

* Conference becomes co-promoter alongside host teams for all races

* Conference establishes trained personnel to oversee all registration/check-in/license sales/numbers at all races

* Conference hires staff person(s) to co-promote events, guide teams

'''N.B.:''' Regardless of the adoption or not of these for 2014, the commitment is made that entries for recognized road races, as defined by distances requirements per category, will be raised this spring.


!!! Secondary Components

The Secondary Components were not discussed in actionable terms.


!!! Tertiary Components

Each of these is to be enacted in some form.

!!!! Women's D

Women's D will be introduced as a new category for Road 2014.

Four women's fields will be held at high attendance, marquee weekends: Women's A/B, C, D, and Intro. The new Women's C will be longer than the current Women's C, and Women's D the same or shorter as the current Women's C.

At other weekends without the participation to support a fourth field, three women's fields will be held: Women's A/B, C/D, and Intro. The Women's C/D results will be published both combined and split, as Women's A/B is currently. If necessary, oversize Women's C/D fields will be split on-site using the same guideline as Men's D (65 riders).


!!!! Juniors

All fields will be opened to all (licensed) high school juniors, removing the restriction to licensed high school clubs. This may require an additional add-on permit for each race, but for minor additional cost ($25). ECCC boilerplate flyer text will also have to be revised to make clear this eligibility and the mapping of junior (open) categories into collegiate categories.


!!!! Fall Meeting

There is widespread interest in expanding the fall meeting into a more general conference with seminars and clinics on cycling and racing topics. Bard College is potentially interested and able to host such an event, which would be a fantastic venue.
