Overall Series Ranking Within Each Age Class: A skier’s final overall point total for IMD ranking is determined by adding their best three (highest) point results from the selection events. For most optimal points, a skier must complete at least three races, including one of each technique. After the highest classic and freestyle result are determined, the next best result in either technique is added to get a point total. An overall ranking list, high points to low, is determined for each age class. Any skier not completing at least three races in the IMD U14 Selection Series will be at a points disadvantage.
