1. J4's and J5's are ranked
(not just SSRA athletes...ALL EEYSL competitors), in one list, by
finish placing to the 30th place and awarded World Cup points for
EACH RUN of each 2-run race. Out of league racers will be purged
from the results. It is important for families, and athletes to
realize how this process works. The individual run selection reflects
SSRA's philosophy that athletes should "go for it"! This
produces fast skiing, and fast skiing earns a spot on the team.
2. The best two single-run
results in giant slalom and the best single-run result in slalom
will be counted.
