WESTERN REGION JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS and FIS SERIES FINALS SELECTION 

The double selection board method will be used to fill the PNSA quota to the Western Region Junior Championships and the Western Region FIS Series Finals, using the identified selection races and the most current USSA points list valid at the time of the selection.  All PNSA NW Cup races held prior to the selection deadline, including the Sun Cup, will be used as selection races. A racer’s best two results in each discipline will be counted.  Athletes who qualify for the Junior Championships are eligible for that event only.  They may not choose to skip this event in favor of, or to compete in, the Western Region FIS Series Finals. This includes alternates who may move up.

Place points will be assigned to the top 30 PNSA finishers using World Cup points, who are eligible at the time of the selection.  (See appendix) The best two results in each discipline will be used on the selection board.  Two selection boards will be constructed with eligible athletes placed on both boards.  The appropriate number of events, that is, only those events contested at the Junior Championships and only those events contested at the WR FIS Finals will be placed on the appropriate selection board.  After the Junior Championships athletes have been selected, they will be removed from the WR FIS Finals selection list and an updated selection will be announced.
