 The League is divided into two conferences, "S" and "L," according to school enrollment. Each varsity team is composed of ten skiers for each race. Of those ten, a minimum of six skiers who finish both runs is necessary to qualify a varsity team for any given race. Additional racers on a team (#'s 11 and up) will be considered J.V. and compete for individual and J.V. team placement. (A minimum of four J.V. racers is necessary to qualify a J.V. team in any race.) All teams race on each race day on one or two of the designated courses set on the hill on that day. All teams; boys, girls and mixed (boy/girl) will meet each other once during the season. Team racing order and course designation will vary and be assigned as fairly as possible. Each skier takes two timed runs on designated course(s) to derive an individual total time. The 6 fastest two-run individual times on each varsity team are added to calculate team total time. Team total time is then compared against their competitor(s) for win or loss.
Teams must race a minimum of five team races to qualify for team championships. Regular season conference championships are determined by final team records within each conference. Teams whose overall League records vs. all opponents is .500 or better are eligible to compete in overall State Championships at season end. The League overall open trophy is retired to a team that wins the championship three consecutive years. |
