IX. Reminders

Discussed sign-up procedures to address the two measures agreed upon during the Spring 2007 Coaches Meeting

When submitting their dues, each school will:

pay dues to ISSCA
submit coaches names
submit roster
submit league they participate in

Participation Requirement:

To be eligible for participation in the NEPSAC Alpine Skiing Championships a student must participate in the following number of league races representing their school:
- If an even number of races before the championships, then ( n/2 )
- If an odd number of races before the championships, then ( n + 1 )/2
For example:
- If your league has 4 races prior to the championships then a student must participate in at least 2 races.
- If your league has 5 races prior to the championships then a student must participate in at least 3 races.

Consequences of an eligibility infraction

Coaches and Ad's will submit their championship running order
Teams are encouraged to bring some evidence of their skiers league participation
Consequences of eligibility infraction
1. Team Disqualification (by gender)
2. Individual Disqualification
3. Other team individuals are eligible for individual awards
4. Results recalculated
Host school can ask for the number of league race starts on the Championship entry form
Race day infractions will go to the Race Jury. If it cannot be reconciled in a timely fashion, then the issue moves to the Competition Committee
Post-Championships infractions will be ruled upon by the Competition Committee
