The April tournament is on.
My plans are to count my score on Wednesdays this April, (weather permitting) but you can pick your own days. I post the winning order at the end of the month. If you ski, you will be one of the winners.
Please use this format for posting your scores so that I can transfer it to spreadsheet efficiently.
Name, Division, Day, Date [April ?, 2011], speed [kph as shown in Slalom Buoy Quick-Count Chart] Speed control [PPC or PPSG or ZO or hand], number of buoys (see attached chart)
Example:
Jill, Girls 2, Wednesday April 6, 2011, 55 kph, 5 @ 15 off, 18.25m, 65 buoys, ZO
Or if Jill has not gotten up to her max speed, and is at (28.6 mph) and is still at 18.25m, see below:
Jill, Girls 2, Wednesday April 6, 2011, 46 kph, 5 @ 15 off, 18.25m, 23 buoys, ZO
Or if Jill has not gotten up to her max speed, and is at (28.6 mph) and is still at full line 23m, see below:
Jill, Girls 2, Wednesday April 6, 2011, 46 kph, 5 @ 0 off, 23m, 23 buoys, ZO
Feel free to make notes below your post like: 15 mph head/tail. Or Stiff cross wind.
Most scoring answers can be found on the attached Slalom Buoy Quick-Count Chart, and other things like ½ and ¼ buoys can be found in the attached Rule book.
To help get the most out of the “tournament feel” plan ahead of time the days your score will count. This is all about fun, so you cannot really cheat anyone but yourself.
Come on beginners and seasoned skiers, boys, girls, men and women. The more the merrier.
I am open for suggestion on the way to do things. Post any question also.
