The Category Placement Table (CPT) is the sorting algorithm that NICA uses to assign student-athletes’ categories each season. It draws upon data from the previous race season. You can peruse the 2023 Maryland CPT on your own - simply click here

If a rider need to change categories for any reason, they can do so by filing a category change petition. This form can only be submitted by a NICA coach. The 2023 petition form can be found here.
