Because of confusion so far this season with the Referee shadow assignments, a protocol has been created after a meeting with the Alpine Officials Committee and Troy Price.
It is important that the new referees, TDs and Chiefs of Race read this document. In addition, I have attached the form that needs to be completed by the mentoring referee. If the Race Organizers could have this on hand, that would be great.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

New rule protects NPS athletes
A new rule was just handed down from the Western Region protecting athletes who attend the NPS project in Burke that conflicts with the U16 Qualifiers at Snowbird.
Here is the new rule:
The Region requires that Divisions protect athletes that are selected and participate in the 2023 NPS projects that conflict with the Divisional qualifying process. These athletes will be selected as part of the Divisional quota. Athletes that attend the NPS series should participate in non conflicting qualifiers within their Division.
The U16 Boards will have the NPS attendees’ names at the top of the board even though they will have zero points after the Snowbird race. As these athletes score world cup points at the other qualifiers, they will be moved to where they objectively qualify. If they fail to qualify objectively, they will be automatics and will use one of our quota spots.
