Officials, many of which are volunteers, play a critical role in young athletes achieving their goals and dreams. U.S. Ski & Snowboard sanctions more than 4,000 individual competitions annually and provides an educational system for over 5,600 U.S. Ski & Snowboard officials. Those competitions would not be possible without the time from those dedicated officials and other competition volunteers.
The ability to measure one competitor's performance against another is the heart of competitive athletics. In a country as large as the USA, it's important to have measurement tools to evaluate the performance of skiers around the nation. Performance of U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes is evaluated through various points lists. Athletes competing in scored competitions earn points, which are calculated mathematically to allow ranking lists to be developed. Ranking lists, in turn, are used by U.S.
Competition is the heartbeat of U.S. Ski & Snowboard! From local and club races and events, through RevTour, Grand Prix, SuperTour, NorAm, World Cup, World Championships and Olympic competition, U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes strive every day to the "Best in the World!"
The Rankings Viewer allows competitors to be ranked against each other with constraints applied, i.e. division or year of birth. When using this tool, it is important that the Show Top number is set higher than the overall rank of the athlete of interest.
