Senior 1 riders require 3 points to retain status.
Senior 2 riders require 1 point to retain status, 10 points to upgrade.

Senior 4 riders require 10 Points to upgrade.

Master 2/3 riders may choose to upgrade at 10 points. Upgrading is mandatory at 15 points.

No points will be awarded for General Classification in a stage race.

Those riders that compete out-of-province can earn up to half their upgrade points at these events by completing an Out-of-Province Result Form. This form must be signed by the Chief Official of the event and submitted to the OCA no later than 2 weeks after the event. The Out-of-Province Result Form can be obtained from the OCA website.

Riders gaining sufficient points to upgrade to the next category can chose to upgrade at that time. Upgrading is mandatory as of July 1 and at the end of each racing season.

Junior Riders - 2nd year Junior riders who place in the top 10 of the Ontario Cup standings and/or are a Provincial Champion in any road discipline are seeded in Senior 2 the following year.

If you meet the requirements for upgrading, send your licence, and a note explaining your situation to the OCA office. You may also drop your old licence at the OCA booth during the selected regional and Ontario Cup races. We will issue you a temporary licence. Your new licence will be mailed to you the next week. Please allow sufficient time before your race for this to be completed
