Let the discussing and complaining begin. Go to:

@Edbrazil‌ that is the non - Elite list. This is the one that I think should mean more. How is it calculated?

[Horton]

I am working on a BallOfSpray rankings list with my own calc. If I can ever get it done ....

[MattP]

Some interesting things on this list for Men's slalom that I see right away.

-Parrish is back on top

-Freddie Winter & Joel Howley break into the top 5

-Sacha Descuns & Johan Efverstrom break into the top 10

-9 Skiers with a tournament average of 3@41off

-35 Skiers with average scores into 41off

-Many of the more common names in "Pro" skiing have dropped dramatically down the list. Larkin -28, McClintock -29, Adams- 24, Parsons -22. Though injury and kids may have played into this.

-The depth of "Pros" has grown to about the top 40 skiers on the list.

[Edbrazil]

Average of 2 performances at 2 L or R tournaments, which must be at separate sites.

[MattP]

Only 46 Skiers on the Junior Women Overall & 40 on the Junior Men Overall Ranking Lists.. To me that is a scary low number

[drewski32]

So apparently I'm ranked in junior men and I had no idea. I think I have a shot at running -35 this year in a record tournament. Does anyone know what it takes to qualify for junior tournaments?

[andjules]

1 ball between #6 and #19. "three-ish at -41" is the new normal.

[ntx]

@drewski32 it depends on what you are calling "junior tournaments" If you are talking junior worlds, it is top 10 on the list.

 

Team trials willl have qualifications based on one, two, or three events.

 

Jr Us open is open to all skiers but only the top seven skiers in each divsion get in unless open spots are avalable from othe events or divsion that do not fill. It is limited to about 84 pulls I think.

It seems Strange as Slalom, Trick and jump two LorR scores are required yet Overall one set of scores is utilized!

Rats - @Bruce_Butterfield‌ beat me buy a lousy 1/4 ball

[MattP]

Looks like iwsftournament.com and iwsfranking.com are down/crashed..

[skidawg]

Much better than last year!!!

[Wish]

Since this ranking existed, who has held the #1 spot for the longest consecutive duration? Pro women and pro men??

[drewski32]

@ntx Jr us open is the only tournament I could hope to qualify for in U17.

[Than_Bogan]

Man, I can't believe Nate Smith AND Chris Parrish beat me AGAIN...

[Horton]

@Than_Bogan‌ what?

[Horton]

40th among the old guys may not sound like a big deal to some of you but I am pretty happy with this. Most importantly I am ahead of @richarddoane‌ & @Bruce_Butterfield‌

[Than_Bogan]

Whoops -- "humor" may make more sense after edit. Dang typo!

[Horton]

Haaa @Bruce_Butterfield‌

[Bruce_Butterfield]

@Horton, I had a terrible year for performances and the full list of skier excuses to go with it. I'll be back.....or I'll retire.

[RichardDoane]

the rule about "separate sites" cost me a good score

[Horton]

@richarddoane‌ you settings cost you a lot of scores

[RichardDoane]

@horton - can't blame it on settings, I just needed to ski better, and more often
