• At the end of the series, awards will be presented to the top three individuals in their league, and to the top three teams. The best seven out of eight races determine the final rankings (ie the lowest score will be dropped for both teams and individuals).

• Alpine A - experienced racers and serious competitors
• Alpine B - racing for fun, for skiers with little or no racing experience
• Telemark A - experienced racers and serious competitors
• Telemark B - racing for fun, for skiers with little or no racing experience

• Absolutely no temporary substitutions are allowed. Permanent substitutions require prior race committee approval.
• Losing a ski more than two gates above the finish is a DQ.
• Straddling or missing a gate is a DQ. You are encouraged to correct these mistakes by hiking back up to make the gate, as your team may need your points.
• Since a female time is required for a team score it is in the teams best interest to have more than one female.
