Interval Start Races Sample Clauses

Interval Start Races. The Distance CPL will be used when seeding all categories. Within each category skiers will be grouped based on the number of total skiers in the combined category. In the case of common distance days at the Canada Cups, U20 and Open categories may be combined depending on track and weather conditions as determined by the Jury or pre agreed upon by Nordiq Canada and the OC. Start positions will then be randomly assigned within each group based on the CPL. The Jury will decide the starting order of each group considering snow and track conditions. The current CPL lists will be available on the Nordiq Canada website two (2) days prior to the first Team Captain’s meeting for verification. Changes to the verified seeding lists will only be considered by the Jury in exceptional circumstances. Nordiq Canada’s Sport Development Director may make recommendations on special seeding requests to the Jury based upon a written submission from the athlete’s Division to the SDD at least one week in advance of the start of the races. However, such requests must indicate an extraordinary reason for consideration for improved seeding. If a request is successful, a senior or U20 will start with the assigned points as per the decision of the Jury. For seeding of categories that are not part of the Canada Cup Race program, OCs are referred to the Nordiq Canada rules or host division guidelines. For common distances, the OC is encouraged to combine categories and seeding as per the CPL if the trail configuration permits. The Jury will approve the final schedule considering the field size, course configuration and the weather forecast.
