Rules & Regulations

You MUST sign a waiver before racing, check if we've received your waiver HERE

Teams:

Each team consists of 2-6 racers
Racers are constant for the entire season and CANNOT BE SUBSTITUTED. If a racer is injured, they may be replaced for the remainder of the season. Failure to abide by this rule will result in the disqualification of team's season ranking.
Team must be paid in full before Race #1. Venmo is a great option for sharing payment on the back end.

Scoring:

Race results are scored by gender
Each racer will be assigned points descending from 20-1, beginning with 20 for first place. After every 20 the points “restart” with 20. (i.e. a racer finishing 21st, 41st, 61st, etc. gets the same points as 1st, and so on..)
The best 4 point scoring racers will be used for each team’s weekly score
DNF and DQs will result in a score of zero
Hiking is permitted, and as long as proper passage is made the time will post
Each team will receive a total score for each race which will count toward the overall series results

Ties:

Should any two teams within the top three overall tie in points, the following method will be used to break the tie: the fifth pointed team result within each race will be added to each race's calculation for a new, overall point total. The team with the higher amount of points wins. Should the teams still tie, the sixth pointed team result within each race will be added to each race calculation. Should the teams STILL tie, winner will be decided by a good old fashioned bare knuckle brawl. .....jk.

Results/Posting:

Results will be posted to the website following each race
Cumulative points for the entire series by team will be used to determine winners.

Raffle:

Raffle is for Pica's Margarita Cup racers
Each race will have it's own raffle
Some prizes will be drawn ahead of time and announced throughout race - Winners need not be present to win
Some prizes will be held to the end of race (6:00) - Winners will need to be present for these prizes
The final event's raffle on March 2nd will include a grand prize (Men's & women's ski & boot packages from Nordica)
- Racers from the entire series will be eligible whether they won other prizes or not

DUNK TANK CHALLENGE: How confident are you?!

Two racers make a side bet to see who of the two will have the fastest time of the evening.
- Racers can be on the same, or different teams.
After each racer's runs, the person with the fastest time has the honor of being the "thrower."
- The person with the slower time gets in the splash chamber.
Thrower gets 4 balls, must throw from behind the line.
- Person in the splash chamber can wear their Gore Tex... or not.
Balls get thrown after 6:30 and before the evening's final raffle.
Maximum of 6 side bets per race.
Sign up on the sheet next to the dunk tank before taking your runs.
- Each person who signs up for the challenge (and stays 'till the bet is settled) will receive 10 extra raffle tickets AND a Melvin beer!
- Raffle tickets will be included in each race's raffle for remainder of the season, including final raffle for Blizzard Skis & Tecnica Boots on Mar 4 (must be present to win).
Each person must agree to the bet.
- If you write in someone's name and they haven't agreed to the bet, your name gets taken out of that night's raffle.
