6 Course Layout 1. Slalom - One slalom pole, the turning pole, shall be used to establish a slalom gate. A Single Pole Slalom has no outside pole except for the first and last gate. The first gate should always be red. 2. Giant Slalom and Super-G - In Giant Slalom and Super-G, two sets of two poles with a panel between, constitute a gate. For Giant Slalom, the distance from the turning pole to the outside pole across the fall line is 4 to 8 meters. The Super-G distance is no less than 8 meters. For Giant Slalom and Super-G, panels shall be used. The first gate, or sets of gates, after the start should always be red. Slalom Giant Slalom Super-G 5

7 Course Layout Cont. 3. An auger or crow bar shall be made available for the course setter to set poles into the snow. 4. Adequate protection for the start and finish areas shall be provided. Fencing and/or pop fencing may be used. 5. Whenever possible, for safety reasons, the courses should be fenced off to be perceived by the skiing public as a self- contained racing venue. Additional fencing, snow fencing, and protective bagging are the responsibility of the ski area. 6. Whenever possible, electric timing equipment, with back- up system, shall be used. When this is not possible, hand held timing may be used. Gate judges shall be responsible for timing the two minutes for the Two Minute Rule. Start and finish banners shall be used. 7. Information boards: Start Order Board - Shall be located at the start and contain the skiers start order, bib number, and other pertinent information. Result Board - Shall be located outside the finish area to post results and list skiers by name, start order, and bib number. General Information Board - Shall be located in close proximity to the racing venues, awards area, and lodge and contain general information and announcements. 6

9 General Rules 1. It is mandatory for all athletes to be on snow regardless of snow conditions prior to attending Winter Games. 2. Each athlete participating at the Games may only compete in one sport. Each athlete may participate in two events within the chosen sport. Special attention should be directed to recommended events for the athlete s ability level. An athlete can be registered only within one level. For example and athlete cannot be in Novice Slalom and Intermediate Super-G. 3. All athletes must be accompanied by an Intermediate ski coach for safety reasons. If athletes are found on the hill unsupervised or if they are a safety hazard to others, they will be escorted off the hill. 4. Coaches MAY NOT coach on the hill. 5. A skier must have three (3) pieces of equipment on them when they cross the finish line. Example: Two skies and one pole. 6. Athletes with Down Syndrome who may compete in Alpine Skiing must have an x-ray prior to participation indicating that they don t have atlantoaxial instability. 7. Start Areas I. All start areas shall be flat, enabling the skiers to stand in the start in either a relaxed or ready position. Care should be given to provide easy access to this area as well as securing the area from the flow of general public skier traffic. 8. One Minute Rule I. During competition, if the competitor moves out of the general direction of the line of the course (fall, miss a gate, lose a ski, etc.) he/she shall have 1 minute from the time of the deviation to re-enter the course. II. III. 9. Start command A competitor who fails to adhere to this 1 minute time limit, or receives assistance of any kind, shall be disqualified. Disqualification shall be determined on the gate card by the Gate Judge assigned to the gate closest to where the infraction occurred. The Gate Judge is responsible for timing the 1 minute. I. For all Special Olympics alpine events at each ability level, the start command shall be as follows: " GO!" The timer begins when the skier s front boot crosses the start line, or when the electric timing wand is activated. 8

10 8. Gate Line I. The gate line in downhill and giant slalom, where a gate consists of two pairs of poles holding panels between them, is the imaginary shortest line between the two inner poles at ground (snow) level. The gate line in the slalom is the imaginary shortest line between the turning pole and the outside pole at ground (snow) level. 9. Correct Passage I. A gate has been passed correctly when both the competitors ski tips and both feet have passed across the gate line. II. III. IV. 10. Divisioning If a competitor loses a ski without committing a fault (not by straddling a slalom pole), then the tip of the remaining ski and both feet must have passed the gate line. The start and finish lines are the same as a gate line. In the event that a competitor removes a pole from its vertical position before both the competitors ski tips and both feet have passed the gate line, the ski tips and feet must pass the original gate line (marking in the snow). I. All coaches are reminded to review the sections in the Official Special Olympics Winter Sports Rules for clarifications of divisioning. II. III. IV. Novice, intermediate and advanced skiers shall have two runs on a modified giant slalom course of their ability level, with the fastest time used to determine their division for competition. If there is time, divisioning time trials may be conducted for each event. In the first run of competition in each division, the fastest time starts first, the slowest last. If an athlete does not perform at the level they are registered for the games officials have the authority to move the athlete to their correct level. V. If an athlete performs in an unsafe manner they will be disqualified. 9

11 1. Slalom/Giant Slalom: Event Modifications I. Slalom and Giant Slalom races will consist of two timed runs. The combined times for each discipline will determine the results for awards. II. III. 2. Super-G: A course reset for the second run will be determined by the Jury. In Slalom and Giant Slalom events, the competitor s first run times shall determine his/her second run start order within the division. Slowest first run time will start first, fastest last. Disqualified racers may have a second run, but they will run at the end of their division. I. Competition organizers may vary the degree of difficulty of the Super-G courses dependent upon the ability levels of the competing racers. II. III. IV. One training run prior to the race run on the same course is required of all competitors. Race organizers may elect to have the training run timed. This will have no bearing on start orders for the race. The Super-G race will consist of one timed run. Unified Alpine Skiing Rules 1. Unified Alpine Ski events consist of Intermediate Slalom and Intermediate Giant Slalom. 2. Teams shall be made of one Unified Partner and one Athlete; 3. A coach may not serve as the Unified Partner. 4. The Unified Partner shall make his/her timed run first with the athlete making his/her timed run immediately after in order. 5. The Unified Partner shall wait for the athlete outside the end of the finish chute area. 6. For divisioning, each competitor shall make two runs on the specified course with the best of the two runs used to create divisions. 7. The final score for the team shall be the combined total of both runs for the Unified Partner and the Athlete following the competition. 8. The Unified Partner must complete the Application for Participation for Unified Partners. 10

12 Registering for a State Event 1. Each coach must submit a Seasonal Intent form 8 weeks prior to the State Culminating event. The form will be ed out 12 weeks before the event date. 2. Each athlete, unified partner, coach, chaperone and guest must be registered in GMS by the registration deadline. I. All alternates must also be registered in GMS. For State Winter Games you are able to register 25% of your delegation as alternates. These can be athletes or Unified Partners, however athletes cannot replace Unified Partners and vice versa. II. Alternates must be activated from your areas pool of alternates and the active roster rider must be dropped in order for the alternate to compete. 3. Once turned in, the Area Director will receive notification of any athletes with missing requirements, including missing/expired physicals or missing scores. If the information is not received, the area will be notified that the athlete has been dropped. 4. For an area to be in compliance for State Games: I. All athletes must have a current physical on file at the State Office II. III. IV. All Unified Partners must have a Unified Partner form on file at the State Office All coaches and chaperones must have current Protective Behaviors, General Orientation, and a Volunteer form on file at the State Office All coaches must have a current sport certification and concussion training on file at the State Office. 11

13 Divisioning Process 1. The procedures for divisioning have been developed to assist competition managers in applying the principles of fair and equitable competition to athletes of all ability levels. An athlete's ability is the primary factor in divisioning. Factors in establishing competitive divisions are age, gender, and times. 2. Ideally, a sufficient number of athletes or teams will participate at every competition so that equitable divisions can be structured. Experience has shown that in some competitions, however, there will not be a sufficient number of athletes to structure ideal divisions. 3. All coaches are reminded to review the sections in the Official Special Olympics Winter Sports Rules for clarifications of divisioning and age groupings. Novice, Intermediate and Advanced skiers shall have two runs on a modified Giant Slalom course of their ability level, with the fastest time used to determine their division for competition. If time in the race organizers schedule permits, divisioning time trials may be conducted for each event. In the first run of competition in each division, the fastest trial time starts first, slowest last. All questions concerning divisioning can be directed to Heather Burke at burke1hn@cmich.edu. 12

14 Training Requirements 1. In order for an individual or team to participate in competition, the athlete or team must be involved in an eight-week training program and receive training and competition opportunities. 2. A minimum 10 hours of training must occur before a culminating event. Training usually consists of 1-4 hours each week for eight weeks. 3. Although it is the desire to include every athlete that is training in all the games we offer, due to the many athletes we have competing in the state, it is not always possible. That is why we offer area, regional and a variety of state events to give all the athletes quality competition opportunities. 4. Coaches who are training athletes in a particular sport should follow the established SOMI sports seasons. The sports season is 8-12 weeks prior to the state competition for that sport. SOMI establishes sports seasons to provide maximum training time for the athletes and to coincide with competition opportunities. 13
