Each year, a 'league table' of riders who are competing in open road races is maintained and compiled by Cycling Ireland. Within each category (A1, A2, A3, A4) there is a league table and once you obtain a certain number of points in open road racing, you will be upgraded to the next category. 

The points requirements to be upgraded/move to higher category are as follows:

A4: 15 points
A3: 10 points
A2: 15 points
