"Danny, BTW, FIRS has a 60+ category! (in addition to those you listed). You asked why USARS would not adopt FIRS ages. For Outdoor Nationals, USARS does closely comply to FIRS, in ages and otherwise, for the Junior and Senior groups which are…"

Age-Group Divisions (Inline Speed)
Started this discussion. Last reply by Jim White Oct 25, 2011. 7 Replies 1 Like
There are some Pro division changes being presented by the Board of the NSIM. Change is good, as long as it is appropriate. So, I have been working hard the last few weeks trying to determine if…Continue
NROC or MNROC????
Started this discussion. Last reply by Rayna Meyer Apr 8, 2011. 5 Replies 0 Likes
Why the NROC rule change? Why did the NROC in 2011 rule change from 7 best events to 5 best events? Within the new rules, it seems more like the MNROC (MiNnesota ROller Cup). Here is a great example:…Continue

Daniel Frederick replied to Daniel Frederick's discussion Age-Group Divisions (Inline Speed)"Jim - you also make a valuable point about the "member races" and that is what has sparked this whole debate. NSIM is proposing a change to the Elite divisions, so the logical thing to do is sit on this and see which way they decide…"
Daniel Frederick replied to natan lakonishok's discussion RED BULL CRASHED ICE RETURNS IN 2012!"I participated in this event when it was held in Duluth - very fun and very fast! I still have the winter cap and hockey jeresy that they gave me. Loads of fun, it was a combination rock concert and roller derby on ice."
Daniel Frederick replied to Daniel Frederick's discussion Age-Group Divisions (Inline Speed)"Thank you JIm, very thoughtful as always. In your opinion, why would USARS not adopt the FIRS-CIC version (at least the Master portion) of their age groupings?"
Jim White replied to Daniel Frederick's discussion Age-Group Divisions (Inline Speed)"NROC age divisions should, I think, be the same as those of its member races, to the greatest extent possible, so competitors within NROC can/will actually compete in real-world races. So this probably means waiting as long as possible, before…"
Daniel Frederick replied to Daniel Frederick's discussion Age-Group Divisions (Inline Speed)"I think it would serve NROC best if international standards were applied the best way possible.
Freshman
Junior 15-19
Open
Master 36-49
Veteran 50+
If at sometime in the future there are enough 36-39's to make their own division then it should…"
Robert Burnson replied to Daniel Frederick's discussion Age-Group Divisions (Inline Speed)"So are you saying that you think we should keep the NROC age divisions the way they are:
Open
master: 35-44
veteran: 45-54
grand vet: 55
Youth divisions:
Freshman - 12 and under
Junior -13-17
"

Daniel Frederick replied to Derek R's discussion May Day 10k"I have called NSIM (they organized it last year). I was told that it was on hold this year and might return next year.

Daniel Frederick replied to Daniel Frederick's discussion NROC or MNROC????"That is a great idea. Not living in that region, that particular combination did not occur to me. My point was only that a National Roller Cup (or it appears North American Roller Cup) should have competitions from coast to coast. I presume that…"
