1.11 FIS International Carving List
1.11.1
Each
race scores are collected by the CO FCC who will be responsible for
calculating the FIS International Carving List
1.11.2
Athletes
who already have a FIS Carving score can update their own score race
after race. For the first race, the score obtained in the 2001/2002
season is divided by two and added to the one obtained in the first
race. At the end of 2002/2003 season, the athlete will maintain the
FIS Carving score if he has run at least two races. Athletes with no
FIS Carving score will be included in the list only after they obtain
at least three usable results. Score is obtained by adding the three
scores divided by three
1.11.3
The
first usable score has to be confirmed, otherwise it cannot appear in
the FIS Carving list. If the athlete does not get a usable score in
a third race (minimum result), at the end of the season he will be assigned
a score of 20,00 points. The summ will be divided by three.
Example
- First usable result: 2,45 FIS points
- Second usable result: 4,20 FIS points
- No third usable result: 20,00 FIS points
Total score: 2,45 + 4,20 + 20,00 divided by (/) 3 = 8,88 FIS points
