Rule Review
  • Participants are permitted to enter all 7
    disicplines (events) offered in their respective
    division (age) category. These include Alpine GS,
    Skiercross, Moguls, Snowboard GS, Snowboardcross,
    Cross Country Classical, and Cross Country Relay.

7
Rule Review
  • However it is critical that all participants,
    parents and team managers are aware that while
    event organisers (SSDF and Mt. Buller Race and
    Events Department) will use their best endeavours
    to ensure all participants can take part in any
    discipline, at times scheduling difficulties or
    clashes with other events, resulting from
    unforseen circumstances may prevent this.
  • Under these circumstances participants may have
    to make a choice between disciplines.

8
Rule Review
  • Participants who choose to enter in multiple
    disciplines may do so, however they may only
    nominate in one (1) overall individual
    achievement category.
  • The focus of the Interschools is not to win an
    overall individual achievement trophy.

9
The Overall Individual Achievement Awards for 2008
  • All participants may nominate for one (1) of the
    following only
  • Mt. Buller Cup Primary Girls Alpine (Alp GS,
    Skiercross, Moguls)
  • Mt. Buller Cup Primary Boys Alpine (Alp GS,
    Skiercross, Moguls)
  • Bernd Greber Cup Secondary Girls Alpine (Alp GS,
    SKX, Moguls)
  • Bernd Greber Cup Secondary Girls Alpine (Alp GS,
    SKX, Moguls)
  • MeiLan Whan Cup Primary Girls Snowboard (SB GS,
    BX)
  • David Perkins Cup Primary Boys Snowboard (SB GS,
    BX)
  • Clinton Wilton Cup Secondary Girls Snowboard (SB
    GS, BX)
  • Clinton Wilton Cup Secondary Boys Snowboard (SB
    GS, BX)

10
Rule Review
  • Where a participant has nominated for an overall
    individual achievement award they will not be
    able to change the award they have nominated for
    due to unforseen circumstances, weather, or
    injury which may prevent a child competing in a
    required event for the award.
  • Please make all your children and parents aware
    of this before the children nominate for an award.

11
Procedures for Medical Changes
  • All Medical Changes will only be accepted if
    accompanied by a Medical certificate.
  • Medical certificates should be just that, not a
    serviette, or the back of scrap paper.
  • We have spent too long chasing schools after the
    event for medical certificates that were promised
    at time of submission.
  • Medical changes must be lodged by 800am the day
    prior to the race.

12
Protest Procedures
  • 1. It is the responsibility of the Team Manager
    to check the DSQ boards at the end of each run.
  • 2. Protests can only be lodged by the Team
    Manager with the Finish Referee/Head Judge IN
    WRITING within 15 minutes of the incident or the
    disqualification being posted. Protests are to
    be accompanied by a 20 fee (which will be
    refunded if the protest is upheld).
  • 3. The Chief of Race will consider these protests
    and decide whether a Jury is necessary. In the
    event that a Jury is necessary, the Jury will
    consist of the Chief of Race, the Chief of
    Course and a third member appointed by the Chief
    of Race. Their decision will be final.
  • 4. Protests of results must be lodged with the
    Chief of Race Operations or his delegate within
    15 minutes of the announcement or posting of the
    results at the presentation ceremony. Protests
    can only be lodged by either the Team Manager or
    the School Snow Sports Coordinator. Protests are
    to be accompanied by a 20 fee (which will be
    refunded if the protest is upheld). The Jury to
    consider protests will include the Chief of Race
    Operations, the Chief Administrator and one
    additional member nominated by the Chief
    Administrator. Their decision will be final.

13
Presentations
  • Champion School Trophies and Overall Individual
    Discipline Awards will again be presented on
    mountain in 2008.
  • The SSDF will still be available for
    presentations at Schools after the event by
    request.

14
Entry System
  • The On-line Entry System will open in early July.
  • Close of Cross Country Entry system is on
    Wednesday 30th July at 500pm
  • Close of Entries for Subaru Victorian
    Interschools SnowSports Championships is on
    Wednesday 6th August at 500pm

15
Entry Double Check Procedure
  • Thursday 7th August is the Day for Double
    Checking all Entries. This ends at 500pm.
  • After this the draw will be conducted and no
    changes will be made.
  • Please do not continue to expect that changes
    will be made on the mountain. It is a long way to
    go to be disappointed.

16
Entry System
  • When using the Entry Spreadsheet please do not
    change the format or create your own.
  • Download the current version of the Spreadsheet
    for your entries from the website. It has been
    changed for 2008.
  • Use the Gender drop down boxes, and the drop down
    boxes for the Disciplines.
  • DO NOT WAIT UNTIL WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON to complete
    your entries.

18
Entry System
  • When using the Spreadsheet you must make sure you
    only have 4 people in an Alpine team, and 3
    people in all other Teams.
  • Where you have an individual they must go into
    Team A. All entries via the spreadsheet import
    must be assigned to a Team.

19
NO CAPITALS
  • SCHOOLS using ALL CAPITALS for Names eg. STEVE
    NELSON as opposed from the conventional format
    Steve Nelson will be advised that they must
    change their entries before the close of entries
    or they will be deleted from the system.

20
NO CAPITALS
  • This affects formatting of reports and results
    and is used by some schools to highlight names on
    the start lists for their own benefit.It is no
    longer acceptable to import names in this manner
    via the spreadsheet. Schools with this formatting
    currently on the database will either have to
    change the names or they will be deleted and
    schools will have to create a new account.

21
