Hand Time Calculations
Hand Timing
Utilisation of times taken by hand
Hand times may be used in the official results after a correction has been calculated.
Calculation of the correction:
Calculate the difference between the times taken by hand and the electronic times of the 5 competitors starting before the missing time and the 5 starting after or if necessary, the 10 nearest competitors.
The sum of the 10 time differences is divided by 10 and rounded up or down to give the correction which must be applied to the hand time of the competitor without an electronic time.
It is not allowed to use the direct calculated net time, from the hand timing.

Point Calculations
Race Points
Die Rennpunkte drücken den zeitlichen Abstand auf die Beste/den Besten des Geschlechtes in Punkte aus. Die Besten pro Geschlecht haben jeweils 0.00 Punkte. Der F-Wert ist der Korrekturfaktor, damit die verschiedenen Bewerbe einander direkt gegenüber gestellt werden können, d.h. die Rennpunkte von ein Slalom sind gleichviel "wert" wie die Rennpunkte von einem Super-G.

Penalty Calculation
Penalty The Best Five Competitors who started the Race• The five competitors with the best FIS points who started the race, are selected
(classified, disqualified, DNF and did not start 2nd run). The competitors with status “DNS1” will not be considered. If the points are above the maximum value, the maximum value will be used.
The Best Five Classified Competitors• The five competitors with the best FIS points who are ranked amongst the top
ten of the race concerned will be selected. If points are above the maximum value or missing, the maximum value will be used for the penalty calculation.
Less than five Competitors: Maximum Value • If there are less than five competitors with FIS points amongst the first ten of
the result list, or there are not five competitors who started with FIS points, then those competitors without FIS points, i.e. the remaining competitors will receive
• the maximum value:• Downhill: 310 FIS points• Super G: 250 FIS points• Slalom: 145 FIS points• Giant Slalom: 200 FIS points• Super Combined: 250 FIS points • If fewer than three competitors with FIS points are ranked within the five which
are taken into consideration, the competition is not considered. At least three competitors must have FIS points (irrespective of the number of points) and at least five competitors have to be classified.
