[FWM News] Mamoth Season Finals and Banquet

[Far West Masters news]

Our final races of the year and our Awards Banquet will be held at Mammoth Mountain on Friday March 
29th (Slalom) and Saturday March 30th (Giant Slalom). Our season finale Awards Banquet will be 
Saturday Night.

**Please note the race order: SL is on Friday, GS on Saturday.  The schedule was incorrectly posted 
as GS/SL rather than SL/GS on the farwestmasters.org Season Schedule page and on the SkiRaceReg.com 
race schedule - the discipline has been corrected, but please recheck your entries if you are only 
competing on one day or in a specific discipline.

Due to hill space limitations, we will unfortunately not be able to hold our scheduled Super G on 
Thursday Mar. 27th.

Price and location of the Saturday evening banquet (either Mammoth Mountain Conference Center, or 
the Canyon Lodge) will be provided as soon as details are finalized. Banquet signup will be 
available on SkiRaceReg.com.

Season Scoring
--------------
With one event left on the 2013-2014 race calendar, there's only two races left to collect points 
for the season rankings in your age class and for the overall men's and women's leader bib awards. 
Our season scoring formula counts the best 75% of your finishes (rounded up), using the "old World 
Cup" points scoring system of 25/20/14 points for a top-3 finish and 13 points for 4th, 12 for 5th, 
... 1 for 15th.

With the cancellation of the planned Mammoth SG at the season finals, we will have 18 scoring races 
this season rather than 19. Your best 14 finishes of the 18 scored races will be counted for your 
season points. Even if you've already competed in 14 or more races, you can still score points by 
posting a better result in the final two races to replace a lower-scoring result from earlier in 
the season.

Check the Season Standings page to see your current ranking. There are still some tight battles for 
season rankings and we expect some to go down to the final day's racing to determine the final 
standings!

class when you opted out to remain in your age class), contact scoring director Deb Lewis at
