Qualifications

  • Advancement to Regionals for 2010 will be based on the Rankings List . All skiers meeting the following criteria Thursday morning July 15, 2010 (the official Cut Off Date) automatically qualify for Regionals.

    Level 6 in any event or overall except for Mens 3-4 slalom in which a skier must be ranked Level 7:

    At the cutoff date 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 any skiers who did not receive an automatic invitation 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 event between the cutoff date and regionals;

    • (3) any skier who places in the top three (3) at State.

    Any skier who has a valid Open/M55K rating/ranking, or is qualified for nationals at the cut off date is automatically invited to Regionals as well.
