I met Detlef in Frankfurt at a skateboard expo yesterday. (I also met Heiko there by the way. And YoYo Schultz too.) About statuses there have been an unofficial rule in the World Rankings before to spread out statuses over the season and geographically. I.e. having two Main statuses one weekend aft...

Hans Koraeus

Yes, European Championship is official. We are only awaiting the form to be sent in. And for all those who wants to have High status for their event in Europe this year 2007 have a look at this document... http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/ISSA/ISSA-Contest-Sanction-Application.doc As Peter explaine...

That was hard!

Only one Mr Klang, Sweden as voulonteer. We need one more person stepping up.

We have to start taking care of the European event statuses for 2007...

Hans Koraeus

I don't think we need to tell the organizer what is preferred more or less. Both can be good and the organizer knows propably best what best suits their event. If there are enough pro's expected it may be more of a challenge to give them their own course which can be set much harder. An easy course ...

ISSA will now take over the sanctioning of event statuses for the ISSA World Ranking. This will be done by three ranking coordinators. We need voulonters from both the American and the European continent. There will be a head coordinator from the ISSA Board of directors for each continent. To serve ...

Thanks for having posting stuff over the past years. Soon (2007-01-01) the idea is that ISSA takes over responsability of the World Ranking and all that comes with it.

Ok Claude, I have made a remark in the first post of this topic that you have redrawn from holding the Worlds 2007. So that leaves two candidates... - Coss, Colorado - Dixie Cup, North Carolina Concerning world ranking rules there are forums for open discussions on this. Soon there will be some new ...

The number of high statuses are limited and spread out in different world regions. The main idea is to have a balance between West Atlantic regions (South America, USA and Canada) and East Atlantic regions (Europe, Russia, Asia, Australia). South America, Asia and Australia have not been really acti...

Hans Koraeus

Yes Brian, by pointing it out as you just did. I do my best to find similarities in recorded names from event results. But it is hard sometimes beacuse it is quite often names in result lists are incomplete or incorrect. It will be fixed for the next update.

Hans Koraeus

I have found many topics about worlds 2007. Let's get all discussions in one single topic. I don't think we need a whole section for this. Soon ISSA will have a formal contest sanction process as Pat mentions above. But we will still need one topic for open discussion. Please use this topic to conti...

2nd year Rookie of the year. Well that is not a bad idea actually. At least for everybody except the pro's where it is quite clear since they decide when they start a pro season. For am's it is more of a coincidense when it happens. But the second year there are no excuses. Then they know what is go...

Hans Koraeus

According to my notes Art Pryde entered US Nationals in 2005. This means he was Rookie last year. The rules are tough on him. If it wasn't for that he entered that event he would have had a big chance for the Rookie of the year title this year. What could save him is if he was junior (-17) 2005 and ...

Heiko, since you raced as PRO in the Main status events Grüningen and Stockholm (Euro Champs) in 2005 you are not considered a Pro Rookie for 2006. When looking into it I saw that you where missing in the Pro Rookie Result list for 2005. I now added you. Here are the top five Pro Rookies last year. ...

Hans Koraeus

Nothing is taken away from anyone. And there is still one Prime status left for Europe. And I fully agree that statuses has to be decided as early as possible. And that is how it works already. And that is why some are missing out on statuses. They are too late. For europe all statuses except two Pr...

There are so many good riders up there. We got 3 different World Champions. The Am class is also getting better ...

The World Ranking database has moved to another server and there are problems updating the database for the moment. Hopefully it will get solved soon.

Hans Koraeus

Awhile back I was sitting with a bunch of ski racers that were putting together their tour. Ski races are rated according to who attends. Guys on one team wanted to help out some of the novices get points so that the novices could get entry to other events. So they did "Points dumping' - .....A pro...

Hans Koraeus

The protest is about the Farm having limited entry in violation of the World Ranking rules. The protest can't be granted since there are no official rules about how to limit a starting field. We have discussed just this problem though in this topic before. But I agree with the protest that it is wro...

Hans Koraeus

About the protest I agree that manipulating the startfield in an unfair way in an important event towards the World Ranking is wrong. There are solutions above of how to solve it. The World Ranking or anybody else have of course little power to enforce anything on an event organizer. It's all up to ...

Hans Koraeus

Yes you can separate out Am and Pro class but... 1. My idea of giving it to Buckeye is way too late. I just realized it's this very weekend. But one could imagine giving it away to another east coast Prime event like Chi-Town shoot out in September. 2. If you decide to do so (between organizers of t...

Hans Koraeus

And Chris is right that it does not help the East Coast (pro) racers limiting a MAIN status race like this. Normally you would like to open it up as much as possible so that as many racers as possible (in the region) can get high world ranking points.

Hans Koraeus

Yet another idea.

If the Farm is really intended as a grass root event why not give away the MAIN status for the pro class to Buckeye. This might lower the pros coming to the event and open up for more places to Am. Women and juniors.

I'm just brainstorming here...

Hans Koraeus

After looking at... More comments on this topic I see this not so bad idea... Number of allowed racers in each class (Pro/Am/Women/Juniors) are decided by the event organizer but minimum limit should be... Major: Pro 40, Am 50 (minimum 90 racer limit) Main: Pro 32, Am 40 (minimum 72 racer limit) Pri...
