GATE JUDGES’ GUIDE FOR SINGLE POLE SLALOM & SINGLE GATE GIANT SLALOM GATE JUDGES’ GUIDE FOR SINGLE POLE SLALOM & SINGLE GATE GIANT SLALOM* *(HIKING ONLY ALLOWED AT USSA NON-SCORED GS EVENTS)

THE CHIEF GATE JUDGE Organizes and supervises the work of the Gate Judges Provides required materials: cards & pencils (Start Lists are provided at ROC’s discretion) Makes sure the gates are numbered/marked Designates the gates each will supervise and places them in position Collects the Gate Judge cards at the end of each run Offers course control/maintenance assistance

THE GATE JUDGE Is an active and necessary volunteer Is fair and concise and helps deliver consistency Accurately records all observations at his/her position - Records gate faults (incorrect passage) - Reports situations involving requests for a rerun - Reports situations involving outside help When asked, provides directions to competitors: “GO” – continue on course, or “BACK” – hike When required, delivers testimony to the Jury regarding rerun requests or incorrect passage

PREPARATION Is ready: Pack extra clothing layers, snacks, water Arrive at venue early and attends Gate Judge Meeting Completes/signs “USSA Volunteer Race Worker Registration” (if not current USSA member; must be 18+) Verify receipt of required materials Verify delivery method for completed cards Arrive at designated gate(s) at appointed time Complete card header information: Name, Gate numbers, Run #, Event (SL, GS, SG, DH) Draw multiple diagrams of assigned gates in order to document gate fault(s) THIS IS A MUST! Verify BIB #’s - do not pre-number your card! Be accurate and consistent with your observations & your recording Verify issue(s) with adjacent Gate Judge(s) – NOT PUBLIC!

“FAULT ONLY” GJ CARD, p1. Used to only mark gate faults/incorrect passage

“FAULT ONLY” GJ CARD, p2.

FAULT / NO FAULT GJ CARD Used to track passage of every racer!

HEADER & DIAGRAMS:

IMPORTANCE OF DIAGRAMS The Gate Judge must verify a fault with a diagram If the Gate Judge marks a bib # as having committed a fault and does not supply an accurate diagram, THE FAULT WILL NOT BE VALID!

CORRECT PASSAGE: DOUBLE POLE & DOUBLE GATE Gate Line: Imaginary shortest line at snow level between two inner poles (DH, SG, FIS & USSA scored GS have 2 pairs of poles – inner & outside – with flags between them) Correct Passage: Both the competitor’s ski tips and both feet must cross this gate line. Correct Passage does not require that the competitor be in actual contact with the snow

GJ CARD: INSTRUCTIONS & THE “IMAGINARY” LINE

Both Tips & Both Feet!

Both Tips & Both Feet!

CORRECT PASSAGE: SINGLE POLE SL & SINGLE GATE GS Correct Passage - No Outside Pole/Gate: Both feet & ski tips must pass the turning pole of the turning gate on the same side following the normal race line & crossing the imaginary line from turning pole to turning pole.

SETTING A COURSE: SINGLE POLE/SINGLE GATE Single pole / single gate courses are mostly set using only a turning pole Some double poles / double gates are required: - First and last gate for SL & GS - Combinations, e.g. flushes & hairpins for SL delays for GS

DOUBLE -vs- SINGLE Completing correct passage of a missed double pole/double gate, requires the competitor to hike up and cross the imaginary line that extends from inner pole to inner pole (from either direction) with both feet and both tips Completing correct passage of a missed single pole/single gate, requires the competitor to hike up and loop around the top of the turning pole/gate (in either direction) with both feet and both tips

HOW DOES THE ATHLETE COMPLETE PASSAGE OF A MISSED SINGLE POLE GATE: (Click on photo to Play)

FIS & USSA SCORED GIANT SLALOM If a competitor comes to a complete stop (e.g. after a fall), he must no longer continue through previous (hike) or further gates. This is valid in all events with a fixed start interval (DH, SG, GS). A competitor who continues to race after committing a gate fault or after stopping (614.2.2, 614.2.3), is subject to a Jury penalty. (628.8) Competitors who have come to a complete stop/fallen may hike to complete passage of a missed gate in USSA non-scored Giant Slalom!

SLALOM HIKING A competitor who misses a gate in Slalom may hike as long as the competitor does not interfere with the run of the following competitor. A competitor who has been passed may not continue on course. A competitor who continues to race after committing a gate fault or after stopping (614.2.2, 614.2.3), is subject to a Jury penalty. (628.8)

Gate Judges are “the most important people on the hill!” THANK YOU! For training in other areas of alpine officiating, please consider attending a USSA Alpine Officials’ Clinic in your state/division/region. But always remember: Gate Judges are “the most important people on the hill!”
