Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 14:51:23 PST From: Peter VanVleet >I received my USCF license last week and it had me listed as unattached. >I listed Husky Racing as the team name and I was obviously wrong. No, actually you were correct. Even though the club sent in its application months ago, the USCF still has not fully processed it. Since you asked to be a member of a club that doesn't exist, they labeled you unattached. This perhaps one of the stupidest schemes I've seen in a while. >1. What is the problem with being licensed as unattached? > (higher entry fees? can't enter certain races?...) Technically, in order to wear a team's jersey in a race, you must be a member of that team. But in reality that's not a concern. The "big" bonus is that you sometimes avoid an "unattached fee", usually about $5 per race. >2. What is the correct team name to list if I need to get my license >corrected? "Husky Racing" is the correct name. We can "attach" you after the club officially exists. I'll let you know more details later, probably in a month or so. Peter .
