ISSC RACES NOW ENLARGED AND ENTRIES ACCEPTED AT UK OFFICE UNTIL 01 MARCH 10 08.02.10

This competition is a challenge to Schools in Britain* to compete for the "Champion School Cup". Juniors, Children and Minis can take part, and the points system ensures that they all compete against each other. The races are open to individual entrants and are run under British competition rules in order to qualify for British Alpine Seeding System (BASS) national seedpoints.

The results of the Inter-School Competition are calculated from the individual results by awarding points for placings within category as follows: 1st 10 pts, 2nd 8 pts, 3rd 6 pts, 4th 4 pts, 5th 3 pts, 6th 2 pts, 7th 1 pt. The categories for which these points are awarded, for both Girls and Boys separately, are: Minis 1, Minis 2, Children I, Children II and Juniors.

Individual prizes are awarded for the top five boys and girls in each category as follows: Mini 1 racers (born 2001/2002), Mini 2 (born1999/2000), Children 1 (born 1997/8, Children 2 (born 1995/6), and to the top three boys and girls in Junior 1 (born 1991/92) and Junior 2 (born 1988/89/90).

The British Champion School will be the one with the best total points score from a maximum of two racers to count per day and having at least two finishers per day regardless of how many of those finishers actually score points in their age category. Schools with only one finisher therefore do not register in the team results table. However, that racer is still eligible for individual prizes and may become "Schools Champion". (Where a school has divisions of “Junior” and “Main” school, entries from the two will be classed as from one school unless the organiser is otherwise informed.)

Where more than eight entries have been received from one school then that school must nominate their official eight school team members at the first captain's meeting on Sunday 8 March 2009. Only these eight racers’ results will count towards the Champion School Cup.

*In the event that an internationally based school finishes ahead of all the British based schools in the results table then they will be awarded an international trophy.
