Class:
Events offered will include Slalom, Trick and Jump. Events will be run as Class E with Class L available for all divisions/events. (Open Divisions will be Class R). Be sure and select the appropriate box for Class L – ONLY IF YOU WANT TO SKI CLASS L.
Qualifications:
Advancement to Regionals for 2016 will be based on the Rankings List. All skiers meeting the following criteria Thursday morning, July 14th, 2016 (the official Cut Off Date) automatically qualify for Regionals.
Level 6 is required in any event or overall for every Division if qualifying via Ranking List.
At the cutoff date, July 14th, the Rankings List Average of the last ranked skier in each division in slalom, tricks, jump and overall will be established as the Cut Off Average (COA) for that level.
After the Cut Off Date, July 14th, any skiers who did not receive an automatic invitation via the Ranking List, may still qualify for Regionals in any event or overall through three Last Chance Qualifying methods (LCQs):
(1) any skier who increases his average equal to or above the COA anytime after the Cut Off Date up until registration closes for his event at Regionals.
(2) any skier who records a score equal to or above the COA at State Championships or at any tournament class C or above between the Cut Off Date and Regionals.
(3) any skier who places in the top three (3) at their State Tournament.
Any skier who has a valid Open/Masters rating/ranking, or is qualified for Nationals at the Cut Off Date is automatically invited to Regionals as well.
