RULES FOR CENTRAL ZONE RACE

  • Each team must consist of four members of the same discipline and must have at least one female and one male.
  • Each racer will compete in two runs.
    • The combined total of the two runs will be used for individual placing.
    • The faster of the two runs will be used for the team score.
  • Racers will run in numerical bib order for the first run and reverse numerical order for the second run.
  • Racers must be at the start area in order of number. If you miss your turn you must wait until the end to complete your run.
  • Individual winners are decided by cumulative time of both runs. If a racer fails to make both runs, they are disqualified from the individual competition, but if they have completed at least one run they are still eligible for the team competition.
  • A complete run is one in which the racer leaves the race start, passes on the correct side of each gate (without missing one), crosses the finish line with a valid time and is properly registered for the race.
  • The course is subject to change based on the placing of gates and how the snow holds up throughout the day.

Toboggan Challenge:

  • The toboggan team can consist of any four members, and disciplines racing for the resort.
  • A rough course map and instructions will be given out at registration and explained in the coaches meeting.
