Start Areas

I. All start areas shall be flat, enabling the skiers to stand in


the start in either a relaxed or ready position. Care should
be given to provide easy access to this area as well as
securing the area from the flow of general public
snowbaording traffic.

19
One Minute Rule

I. During competition, if the competitor moves out of the general


direction of the line of the course (fall, miss a gate, lose a ski, etc.)
he/she shall have 1 minute from the time of the deviation to re-enter the
course.
II. A competitor who fails to adhere to this 1-minute time limit, or receives
assistance of any kind, shall be disqualified. Disqualification shall be
determined on the gate card by the Gate Judge assigned to the gate
closest to where the infraction occurred.
III. The Gate Judge is responsible for timing the 1 minute.

Start Command

For all Special Olympics alpine events at each ability level,


the start command shall be as follows: "5.4.3.2.1. GO!" The

line, or when the electric timing wand is activated.

Gate Line

.The gate line is determined by the turning pole

22
Correct Passage

‣ A gate has been passed correctly when the competitor’s snowboard tip
and both feet have passed by the gate. The start and finish lines are the
same as a gate line. In the event that a competitor removes a pole from its
vertical position before the competitor’s snowboard tip and both feet have
passed the gate line, the snowboard tip and feet must pass the original
gate.
‣ A competitor who receives assistance of any kind shall be
disqualified
