It says at slalomrankings.com that points are only updated at beginning of the month so points from April races won't be added until May. And they would only be a factor if you used the 2005 Season Rankings which try to update/merge last year's points with this year's points. Even a big change in 20...

Why are we qualifying the first big race of 2005 using "points" from 2003 and 2004. In the 4-year ranking, where do 2005 points come from already? I see points for 2003, 2004, and 2005 at that site. Gilmour has been rehabbing. Noah had to take time off last year so his points sufferred. Anyone that ...

Farm 5.0
What's up Tway? I thought the Derby Hill was a fantastic race site, perfect for Head To Head. I never made it to the old location, but I saw some video clips. It looked like a great surface, just not suited for Head To Head. You just need to decide if you want a real (High Profile) annual race or ju...

Then we will haul them back out for Worlds. Don't know what will happen with them after that. If everything works well, maybe...

I wouldn't have known about these funky ratings, nor would anyone be arguing about them, if it wasn't put in SLALOM! magazine. That's the real problem.

I guess going forward, having race organizers make bids is good. I hope the assumption isn't that every region should get the same number of points to divide among it's races. I got the impression the 2003 points were not based on bids. When I look at how the contests got divided up, DaFarm and W. V...

Strength of Field
I guess what I see missing is any kind of "strength of schedule". I wouldn't want the whole thing turned into something like college football's BCS system, but shouldn't the strength of the field factor into the classification of the races or the amount of points awarded? Outside of Worlds, Breck, a...

How are you planning to handle the US Championships at Breckenridge results this year? We are not allowing anyone to declare themselves pro or open.

The Colorado Open for July was changed to Colorado Cup for June because of conflict with La Costa. Fluitt already gave you the new info.

Super-G in Golden Anyone? I think Fluitt measured the width at 65'. It's about 5 lanes wide. He measured off at least 1700' of good road. We could easily set a 1000' course here.
