Team Combined Rules and Guidelines

Categories: U14 and U16

One team member skis the Super-G run and the other skis the Slalom run. The competition aims to be completed in one day: Super-G in the morning and Slalom in the afternoon.

Formation of pairs:

Pairs are primarily formed within the same club/team. Academy junior teams are also considered teams.
Preferably girl + boy or girl + girl
If an athlete is left without a partner based on the above criteria, the organizer will assist in finding a partner
With special permission from the organizer, boy + boy pairs may be formed

Athletes register via the normal registration link. Team captains must submit the pairings before the first team captains’ meeting of the competition week.

SSF recommends that coaches, not athletes, are responsible for forming the pairs.

Determination of start order:

U14:

First run: bibs drawn randomly among all participants
Second run: reversed start order
Pairs with DSQ/DNF in Super-G start in their original bib positions

U16:

First run: bibs drawn randomly among all participants
Second run: reversed order based on first-run results
Pairs with DSQ/DNF in Super-G start at the beginning of the second run
