DISCIPLINE RULES/ FORMATS

Snowboardcross & Skiercross Champs (SBX/ SX)

British Championships:
Timed Qualification is a run down the course alone. Athletes' qualifying times are then used to seed the heats, with athletes being given gate preference in order of their seeding.

Timed Qualification = 2 timed runs, fastest run counts. This enables us to seed you in each of the heats (should you be fast enough to make the Qualification rounds)

Seeding = The highest seeds always get first lane choice throughout  the competition, so it's important to get a fast run.

Heats = Max 4 persons per race. Top 2* qualify for next round 

Heat Information

Slopestyle Championships (SS)

British Championships:
Qualification = All competitors 2 runs, best score counts
Finals = Top 12 Men / 6 Women 2 runs, best score counts
Age category positions are extracted from the overall results.
This format allows the judging panel to concentrate on each run in its entirety and provide a calculated score for each run, thus allowing the placement of athletes from 1st to last in an accurate manner. Something not possible in a Jam Format

Halfpipe Championships (HP)

British Championships:
Format as per Slopestyle

Bangers & Cash (RAIL)

Open Jam Session
Finals = Top 8 Men / 4 Women Jam Session

JUDGING RULES

Studying the procedures and criteria behind judging and then putting these skills into practise is a very complex matter which demands attendance at judging conferences and workshops and takes years of experience to hone, however, in the interest of transparency we are working with our fully qualified Head Judges to create an overview document to inform athletes as to what is rewarded.
