7 General directions The organizer may combine classes with 3 or fewer participants with the same classification. for the competitions: Make sure to prepare your skies well before the competition The classes years and over 70 years will not be combined. To ensure the safety of the participants the jury may alter the course and reduce the number of participants in the competitions, based on the weather and track conditions. All skating is forbidden both in training and competition tracs. There are always two tracks. The disabled skier and his guide are to use the right track. This way, the left track, will be kept open for those who are passing others. If you have to make a stop (because of waxing etc), og out of the main track to avoid collisions. The guide is to contact the skier the day before the competition, and no later than two hours before the first start, unless otherwise arranged. The skier and his guide should use the same wax for their skis. Through conversation, the guide should try to find the most effective way of guiding the skier. It is the guide s duty to see that the skier returns safely to his lodging after the competition. Guide dogs are not allowed in the ski tracks.
