Of course, we will change the ramp from one direction to the other and hope that the naked women and the audience will apploud how we change the ramp. They are there for watching slalom and not to watch how we can change the ramp position. What is wrong with the rules is, that we are making rules an...

Jadranko Radovanovic

Pat, that's the shit of those good rules. I organise competitions since 2000 and have problems to understand all rules and to interpret them. What do you think how is it for someone who has nothing to do with slalom. We will do the 50 Cones in Zurich just in one direction, if you want you can fly to...

Jadranko Radovanovic

Pat, How does it looks like for our event in Zurich with the setted WR rules ? We have a slope which is for shure more than 1% differenz between the start and finish for a 50 Cone WR. And we have 180m street which makes it hard to set a 100 Cones course. We planed to hold an World Record attempt (10...

Claude, you are mixing apples with bananas. My point was that people who decided in advance to attend a title event, which possibility is given trough the whole Status process, can't attend the event because it's moving 4 weeks before the event to another location. I'm talking just about this specia...

Claude,

we separated the event and the title. We just spoke about cancel the title, not the event.

Ramon, The cancalation of the championchips is your decison, there isn't a right or false decision. I would just cancel it if the Top-Pro-racers who planed to attend the event in Hannover and can't go to Amsterdam want a cancalation. (I don't know which racers exactly. But there are no more than 10-...

Jadranko Radovanovic

Right Don, In all professional sports they have rules regarding such situations. That's way they can handle it without big discussions. my suggestion is just to ask those Pro's, that they have been asked and that there is a dialog with them. As you said, there is a new date and a new location. To as...

Claude, the marshalls did a good job as i sayed before. What ever they decide in this situation it's okay. The only thing i wanted is an opinion from the BOD and a reaction on this situation with some ideas for the future. The most important thing for me is to clear with the defender of the Euros if...

Jadranko Radovanovic

Ramon, im shure you weighted the arguments and did the best out of this situation. The point of loosing money is for some more important for some less. This can happen everywhere. The point that people planed to attend the euro title contest and now they can't, that is the shit on the whole situatio...

Jadranko Radovanovic

Janis is right. Where are the opinions from the BOD ? There are no points in the rules about contest marshalls. The only things are the text below and the rules of slalomranking.com with the advanced rule and so on. Ranking marshalls: What is their job 1. To handle incoming ISSA contest sanction doc...

Will it be voted on every Detail ? If you vote on every detail you loose the view for the whole WR-Concept. I want to vote for a Concept and don't for detail points which gives a new concept in the end. Why not a proposal (concept) from the BOD ? And proposals (concept) from Members who want to do a...

Jadranko Radovanovic

Pat, please change my proposal to one course (100 Cones) in female/male categorie. (two world records) I would propose to include the Ramp into the rules. No definitions on construction. Just include the distance (3-4 meters like on races) to the first cone to the rules. That means three variable (t...

Jadranko Radovanovic

18 World Records is a bit too much. One World Record (100 Cones) in three categories (Men, Women, Juniors) is enough! The World Record holder should be the fastest men/women/junior arround 100 Cones. That means that just a few rules need to be settled: -Ramp-Start -distanze to the first Cone -Cone P...

In the perfect world we would have only one Major "The Worlds" but we might not be ready for that yet. Quoting just a small stak of a whole meaning gives nothing.

The future for people who want to travel to the US.

All ten fingers and it should be safed in databases for 75 year's.

What will be the next step ? A biographie of every Person who travel to this country ?

Jadranko Radovanovic

What is more important ?

That the discipline die in one region or that the discipline die overall.

Might vs. systematic thinking.

The future will show the answer.

For the Slalom Tight discipline (ST), what should be the requirement for cone spacing? √ A) Each cone spacing within a limit: 1.4m to 3.0m . Suggested: 1.5m to 2.5m 65% [ 29 ] B) Each cone spacing within a limit: 1.0m to 2.0m 20% [ 9 ] C) Average cone distance of 15 to 20 cones per 30m (average spa...

I can just compare a timingsystem to our ALGE in running them at the same time. I don't know if it helps anything. I will compare the trackmate the next day's with the ALGE System. I think that the most important thing is to use a hardware clock instead of a software clock. We know that there are ju...

Pat, i'm interested in the automated cone-counting as well.

Jadranko Radovanovic

I belive it that it is a impressive event. A big hill shows the speed of the racer over a distanz. A slope shows the speed of the racer in frequency direction changes of his body. Both are Slalom and both are impressive in their owen way. As it was mentioned from some people before they say that a b...

Jim, who knows, perhaps there is a twin in Canada ? I see the frustrations of the others involved trying to explain to you the faults of your ways when it comes to european races. If i get the summary, than it is: big hill somwhere outside without spectators. Is it that ? Find an real venue for a ra...

Jadranko Radovanovic

Can you explain why it turned out a decrease of Swiss participants? I just can interprate, i can't explain. It will be needed to ask the racers himself. There were between 80 and 92 racers in Grueningen 2003 / 2004 / 2005 when we had a main status. As an example, this was a main last weekend. http:...

It's not making it looking good in my way. As i sayed it before, for me every decision is okay. But when making a decision it will be okay as well to have it transparent. It depends from which side you see somthing. Every thing has different interpretations, that's human. The discussion is the same ...

The vision is to have a GS hill at a venue for big events ? We didn't clear yet what a big event is. So, what are the criterias for a big event ?

I don't have a problem if there isn't a race in Grueningen. If it's done, than it needn't to happen. It's not about Controversal, the youngsters will be needed if slalom don't want to die. organise an event with prime status, you won't have enough racers for Pro / Am categorie. It is how it is. No. ...

Donald, personaly i don't care what happens. If it is main there will be a competition if it isn't there won't be a competition. It's very easy.

Using the World Ranking and you won't have Dominik Kowalski (35) and George Pappas (77) at your race Jack. But Kenny Mollica (10) can participate. I will say it again.

Suggestions with gates in the H2H: 1st run: The gates open for the riders at the same time 2nd run: The gate open for the faster rider from the first run bofore the gate of the slower.

I never saw a parallel slalom ski competition except at the Olympics. But this was an speial diszipline. Look at the FIS Snowboard Parallel rules. They are closer to slalom skateboarding than ski.

For quali the best time counts for the H2H. There is no DQ time added. Two DQ's you are not qualified. In the H2H the faster racer has a "bye of 1 second". If you have one lane, how do you do a H2H ? One lane means for me 1-n runs best run count. No DQ penalty. This just to keep it interesting in th...

The rules about clean or not needn't to be voted. There is an official World Record of 100 Cones done by Luca Giammarco.

We have diffrent courses for special and tight at the most races in Europe. Pro or Amateur. Suggestions: The Racer who DQ get a Penalty of 1 second. There is no DQ/limit for hitted cones. The used timing-systems should be known by the ISSA. Software based timing-systems are not allowed. Why testing ...

There are differenzes between the US and Europe "Parallel Slalom" "Tight-Slalom". Grueningen Zurich Riga Grenoble Moscow i think Gothenborg too had tight courses. The slope at the Trocadero is at the limit for tight courses. Much more steeper will not be possible to run a tight slalom. The most cone...

Jadranko Radovanovic

If you have a high DQ Penalty there is no need to run the second run in the H2H. Keep it low (p.e. 1 second) the second run will be intresting. It's the way they do it in the Snowboard Parallel Slalom. Even if you are 5 second behind, you get the max Penalty of 1.5 seconds or somthing like that. Whe...

Jadranko Radovanovic

Thanks for the info Wesley.

How long do you have time to write the false start time down?

Jadranko Radovanovic

The limit to the 2m, will give you the limit of the hill. The limit will be somthing like the trocadero in Paris. Otherwise there will never be a real "tigth" Slalom from the beginning to the end. The organizer should think about, on which hill he is doing a "Parallel" or a "Tight" The point from my...

I agree that theer should be the same rules for all. I think there will be a need to have a trackmate to do it in this way?
