Been in Orlando since Thursday and not sure when I am leaving! Jodi threw a great event!!

Air 71 - Water 65 here in Atlanta today.

Who wore it best? @Horton or Farley?

@Horton Britta is an Athlete Manager for Red Bull.

ESPN 3 (online) carried the 2009 worlds in Canada if I remember correctly. I don’t remember the story of how that came about.

I’m fine with any online platform that can carry skiing. It is the “future”

I get the water sports channel on tv and they have a shot of Freddy jumping in their opening montage more than likely from a World Cup stop in Russia. I’m sure that relationship is long gone.

This past weekend Dorien Llewellyn broke his previously held Canadian trick record of 11,260 by setting a new record of 11,460. This guy is on fire right now! Jaret his dad previously held the trick record and his brother Kreg held it before him. Tricking is in this guys blood! This coming off the previous week after he set a pending World Overall Record at Jacks.

@Luzz the ELO List is interesting I will need to read more into the documentation.

Have you or @Horton looked at this placement points based list? This looks to be more of how your new list is based but weights the tournaments differently and takes into account the number of competitors as well as and how they were ranked in the previous year. This seems to be somewhat of a combination of what our old list was doing but using all events and not just "pro" events.

@cruznski everyday.

Scores are uploaded to the Rankings website, immediately upon receipt from the tournament scorer. Any newly reported or updated scores will show up immediately in Score Detail displays. However, the Ranking Scores are recalculated only once each day, during the overnight hours. As a result, any changes or additions to the score database on any given day, will not be reflected in the rankings until the following morning.

@JeffSurdej sure lets put that on my plate too.. :)

@rico yes and no. Again it's JT, Jamie and pretty much Will's home site. If it was at Okee, Trophy, Bennetts, Bel Aqua, Shortline, Ski West, Cottonwood, Aquaplex where these skiers do not go frequently I would be way more suspect even though they are all world class sites.

@Horton is this more of a variation of the BOS Ranking we once did but removes the IWWF scores? The idea with this list was to find a way to combine Backyard & Pro Events equally to find the best skier of the year who competed against the best skiers. It removed money from the equation which the elite list is based on and accounted for the fact that not every skier attends every event. Details on this list are on this thread > https://www.ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/comment/227196

@scoke again innocent until proven guilty.

You must know something that I don’t. I have zero invested interest in this event or the site.

I am just a bystander/skier/judge who thinks that just because people ski great we shouldn’t question their performance or the officials. Seems to be so common these days on this website. There should be a system of checks and balances. We have PanAm judges that are making sure IWWF rules are followed and we used to have out of region judges at record events to have another set of eyes on things. Should all L/R events be reviewed by a 3rd party TC & ECV Review or just the ones people on the internet think are off?

Unless you or @Horton or whoever are going to come out and say you heard the driving was all over the place or the course was set narrow, long or the ropes were long then we should let the scores be what they are until they now more than likely will be reviewed. Let's hear the accusations instead of just saying that these skiers are incapable of these scores.

I will be more than happy to send you and Horton beer if I am wrong. I'm sure a score or two may be thrown out due to driving tolerances but let's see if the 3 big players get their scores to stand. I will be the first to say I was wrong.

I attend a few weekday tournaments a year that are run with a RC course, current boat and more than capable officials that usually turns out many PBs or close to it over the course of 3 rounds. To me it's the atmosphere that allows this. They are usually laid back no rush rush rush to ski and it allows the skier to perform at their highest.

@Horton to answer your question.

29 Slalom skiers (Out of 34 on the list) according to the ranking list posted 1 of their top 5 scores in a R/L in the rolling 12 months as of today.

16 of those was their top score to the list.

of those 9 have 5 scores on the list, 1 have 4 scores, 4 have 3 scores, 2 have 2 scores, 0 have 1 score

11 of those was their 2nd top score to the list.

1 of those was their 3rd top score to the list.

1 of those was their 4th top score to the list.

0 of those was their 5th top score to the list.

The data is HERE

Scorebook HERE

@scoke more tongue and cheek, BUT we the people no longer have access to the ECV dropbox or I would have already looked.

I know the driver and I trust his abilities.

I know the site and I trust them to run a legit event. They are home to world championships & MLCQ among other high profile events.

If there is something hinkey going on the powers that be should look into it and then downgrade or let the scores stand. All the appointed officials are reputable. Until there is evidence against the scores I have no problem backing them and the officials. This is the USA you are innocent until proven guilty.
