Requirements

  • 2010 Nationals Overall & Discipline Champions are automatically “pre-qualified” for the 2011 National Championships. These champions must compete in at least 1/2 of this season’s CMS events.
  • Earning the top overall points in your age division for a single discipline qualifies an athlete for the National Championships in that discipline. This means an athlete can qualify for the National Championships in a single discipline such as Halfpipe, Slopestyle, Rail Jam, Giant Slalom, Slalom, Boardercross or Skiercross, as well as any combinations of disciplines that an athlete has earned the overall points leader status. Overall points will be determined as follows:                                                                               
    • Boardercross/Skiercross – Best 3 events
    • Giant Slalom – Best 3 events
    • Halfpipe – Best 3 events
    • Rail Jam – Best 3 events
    • Slalom – Best 3 events
    • Slopestyle – Best 3 events                                                                                                                                 
  • In the event the top overall finisher is unable to attend, the second place finisher will qualify.

  • The remaining National Championship spots will be awarded based on the National Ranking System. National Ranking scores will consist of the athlete’s best 3 scores from any 2011-2012 event earned at any time in any series or the previous year’s National Championships.
