Officials To run these races cheaply and effectively we need the support of parents to assist with officiating. We ask each competition entry to nominate an official to assist with running the event. Training will be given to novice officials, this will be a great way for parents to get to know a bit more about the rules of the sport. Race Rules / Health & Safety / Drug testing For further information see www.britski.org & http://www.britski.org/racingguide10.pdf Excel Event Notes 1. Excel Events are organized to give developing racers increased opportunities to compete in entry level competitions. Entry priority will be given to registered racers with highest (most) seed points. 2. U12/10 race will be run using stubby poles. 3. Excel Events results will be sent to the national seeder to qualify for seeding. The event will be run under the supervision of an appointed British Technical Delegate. 4. No competitor with fewer than 40 BARTS points will be eligible to compete in Excel Events. 5. Every attempt will be to provide 3 timed runs during the afternoon session. However, if due to circumstances beyond our control we are unable to complete 3 runs we will aim to seed the event based upon the fastest timed runs completed. 6. The 3 timed runs will run consecutively. Please be aware there will be little time for ski preparation between runs, if a racer misses their start they risk being sanctioned. 7. Referee’s Report (disqualifications) for all runs will be posted at the end of the final timed run. Protests against disqualification will require a protest to be submitted with a protest fee of £25.00 within 15 minutes of the Report being published. 8.
