How do I Qualify for the Nationals?

To qualify for the USASA 2010 National Championships, TO BE HELD AT COPPER MTN, COLORADO, you must fulfill one of the criteria listed below:

Be pre-qualified from last year (Won 1st place at the last Nationals) and compete in at least half of this seasons events.
Win the top overall points in your age division per discipline.
You may qualify for the USASA Nationals in single disciplines, for example; HalfPipe, SlopeStyle, Giant Slalom, Slalom, or BoarderCross®.
On occassion the first place points leader may not want to participate at the National Championships, therefore the 2nd place points leader is offered the seat.
The National Ranking system will then determine the next rider in-line for an open slot in an age group and venue.
It is advisable that you may need to travel to another series outside to gain an additional amount of points to raise your positioning on the National Ranking System. Only one (1) outside event is counted with your two (2) regional points to determine your National Ranking Points.

Why do we have two events with the same date?

This question has been asked quite a few times, the answer is quite simple. Being residents of Southern California we have been blessed with having a limited number of days on the snow each season and being required to have a minimum number of events for athletes to be eligible for the National Ranking System, we must double up events on certain days to meet the criteria. Therefore, on certain competition days we hold two separate events.

Coaches Notices

All coaches wishing to receive a complimentary coach ticket at the events will be required to have at least a Level 1 USASA Coaches Certificate, and/or be an official seasonal program coach at a resort, and/or be available to help set course on competition day.
