Format Details:
2.13.22 KB Dual Slalom Shootout Format. All racers will get 6 runs, 3 in red, 3 in blue.
The First Heat
The first heat will run within age group and gender. U8/U10 and U12 Boys/Girls will be recognized. The order will be as follows:
U12 Girls
U12 Boys
U10 Girls U10 Boys U8 Girls U8 Boys
The seeding randomized withing group and gender.
-The dual environment can be confusing so we are going to le the older kids go first to establish a track and give the younger racers a visual.
The first two runs, one in red, one in blue will make up the combined time official results to be used for the NYSSRA and USSA results and awards.
The Second Heat
The second heat will run within age group and gender. U8/U10s will be combined into one group. U 12s will be the other age classification. The order will be as follows:
U12 Girls
U10/8 Girls
U12 Boys U10/8 Boys
The start list will be seeded within these groups by the combined time of the first two runs. Heat 1 DSQ/DNF will run in random order at the back of their age/gender grouping.
The Third Heat
The third heat will run within age group and gender. U8/U10 and U12 Boys/Girls will be recognized. Every racer will be able to run in the third heat. The order will be reversed within age and gender groups from the 2nd heat with one exception. The top 4 ( in group and gender) by combined times of ONLY THE SECOND HEAT will run at the end of their grouping seeded so that 4 races 3 and 2 races 1. There is no reseeding between runs. The king and Queen of the hill in the groups U10/8 Boys and Girls and U12 boys and Girls will be decided by the best combined time of the 4 qualifiers. The time will be taken from the third heat only. So everyone is racing for good times and giggles and only the qualified top 4 can win the overall King/Queen. This holds true even if someone outside of the top 4 has a faster combined time in the third heat (qualifying matters).
For the top 4 in the final a DNF or DSQ will eliminate them. In the case that all 4 finalist DNF or DSQ the fastest finishing time will be the winner. For that reason first run DSQs or DNFs are encouraged to race their second run.
Their is only one King and Queen awarded per age/gender, 2nd and 3rd are NOT recognized. The traditional awards will be the same and recognized from the results of the first heat.
-Interfering inside the course of your opponent is grounds for a DSQ
-There is no hiking in Slalom
-Racers must go on the go command. Any advancing or delay of the start deemed to be done to gain advantage will be grounds for DSQ.
-In the event that a course worker or other unforeseen happenstance causes a racer in one course to pull out that racer only MAY be granted a rerun as soon as possible in the same color course to establish his/her time.
Other USSA Slalom Rules per the Alpine Competition guide appy unless superseded by PSL specific rules.
In summary:
Everyone gets 6 runs!
There are two ways to win, the official results with medals and council awards and the King and Queen of the hill for the fastest combined times among the 4 qualifiers racing within the third heat in each grouping.
Awards for the official race, the shootout and the color team standings will be announced asap after the last racer finishes over by the Racer Deck outside of Willies.
