Washington Nordic Cup Race Rules

Consistent with our mission and objectives, Washington Nordic Cup Races are designed to be fun learning opportunities for skiers. Therefore, our awards system recognizes growth and effort over places and times. Consider- in Norway they do not publish rankings for U10 and younger.

Participation Awards

• Individual Awards: Skiers aged U12 and older who participate in five events throughout the season will receive a commemorative mug.

• Team Awards: Teams with the highest overall participation will be recognized with special team awards.

Sportsmanship

• All athletes are expected to exhibit excellent sportsmanship at every Washington Nordic Cup event.

Event Awards

• The hosting club for each race will determine the specific awards, which may include:

• Recognition for technique.

• Placement-based awards.

• Other unique honors created by the host club.

Wax Guidelines

• Keep waxing simple and affordable. We recommend using basic, inexpensive waxes.

Technique Rules

• In classic races, skating technique is not allowed.

Seeding

• Race Directors will determine the seeding at their discretion.
