Ski Challenge Scoring System
|
A handicap system is used to determine medals. A new handicap is achieved for each race run, and is strictly the percentage slower than the par time (zero handicap). Each racer's best handicap of the two runs (or more if a bonus league) is used to determine medal and team points. Medals are awarded at each race at an awards ceremony. Refer to the official Ski Challenge
Scoring Chart for details on handicaps needed to achieve a certain medal.
The top six scores from each team count for team points. These accumulate weekly through Race 7 (week 3 for preseason) to determine team placement in league standings. Racer points for #7, #8, #9 racers (and bonus points, how many points a medal is achieved by) will be accumulated each week to determine any tiebreakers at the last race.
