  1. GATE JUDGES’ GUIDE FOR SINGLE POLE SLALOM ¡ & SINGLE GATE GIANT SLALOM* ¡ ¡

  2. THE CHIEF GATE JUDGE ¡ • Organizes and supervises the work of the gate judges ¡ • Provides required materials: gate cards, clipboard & pencils , start lists ¡ • Designates the gates each judge will supervise and places judges in position • Reviews with gate judge “safe passage” through assigned gates • Collects the gate judge cards at the end of ¡ each run, reviews faults and diagrams for faults ¡

  3. THE GATE JUDGE ¡ • Is an active and essential volunteer • Stays alert, watching bib numbers carefully ¡ • Is fair and concise and helps deliver consistency ¡ • Accurately records all observations at his/her position ¡ - Records gate faults (incorrect passage) ¡ - Reports situations involving requests for a re-run ¡ - Reports situations involving outside help ¡ • When asked, provides directions to competitors: “GO” - continue on course, or ¡ “BACK” – hike (only in slalom!) ¡ • When required, with help from the Chief Gate Judge, delivers testimony to the Jury regarding incorrect passage or re-run requests ¡

  4. PREPARATION ¡ • Is ready: Pack extra clothing layers, use restroom before reporting to top of course ¡ • Arrive at venue early and attend Gate Judge Meeting ¡ • Verify receipt of required materials ¡ • Arrive at top of course (or to where chief gate judge requests) ¡ at appointed time ¡ • Complete card header information: Name, cell phone number, Gate numbers, Run #, Event (SL, GS, SG, DH), Gender ¡ • Draw multiple diagrams of assigned gates in order to document gate fault(s) THIS IS A MUST! ¡ • Verify BIB #’s - do not pre-number your card! ¡ • Be accurate and consistent with your observations & your recording • If you are not sure about a fault (at least 70%), don’t call a fault • Verify issue(s) with adjacent Gate Judge(s) - NOT PUBLIC! . ¡ ¡

  5. CORRECT PASSAGE: ¡ DOUBLE POLE & DOUBLE GATE ¡ • Gate Line: Imaginary shortest line at snow level between two inner poles (DH, SG, FIS & USSA scored GS have 2 pairs of poles - inner & outside - with flags between them) ¡ • Correct Passage: Both the competitor’s ski tips and both feet must cross this gate line. ¡ • Correct Passage does not require that the competitor be in actual contact with the snow ¡

  6. Both Tips & Both Feet! ¡ Example ¡of ¡a ¡straddle ¡

  7. Both Tips & Both Feet! ¡ This ¡skier ¡is ¡about ¡to ¡straddle ¡the ¡gate ¡

  8. CORRECT PASSAGE: ¡ SINGLE POLE SL & SINGLE GATE GS ¡ • Correct Passage: Both feet & ski tips must pass the turning pole of the turning gate on the same side following the normal race line & crossing the imaginary line from turning pole to turning pole. ¡

  9. SINGLE POLE/SINGLE GATE ¡ • Single pole / single gate courses are mostly set using only a turning pole ¡ • Some double poles / double gates are required: ¡ - First and last gate for SL & GS ¡ - Combinations, e.g. ¡ flushes & hairpins for SL delays for GS ¡

  10. SLALOM DOUBLE -vs- SINGLE POLE GATES ¡ • Completing correct passage of a missed double pole/double gate, requires the competitor to hike up and cross the imaginary line that extends from inner pole to inner pole (from either direction) with both feet and both tips ¡ • Completing correct passage of a missed single pole/single gate, requires the competitor to hike up and loop around the top of the turning pole/gate (in either direction) with both feet and both tips ¡

  11. SLALOM HIKING ¡ • A competitor who misses a gate in Slalom may hike as long as the competitor does not interfere with the run of the following competitor. ¡ • A competitor who has been passed may not continue on course. ¡ • A competitor who continues to race after committing a gate fault or after stopping, is subject to a Jury penalty. (USSA scored races) ¡

  12. GIANT SLALOM ¡ If a competitor comes to a complete stop (e.g. after a fall), he must no longer continue through previous (hike) or further gates. This is valid in all events with a fixed start interval (DH, SG, GS). ¡ A competitor who continues to race after committing a gate fault or after stopping, is subject to a Jury penalty. (USSA scored races) ¡

  16. IMPORTANCE OF DIAGRAMS ¡ • The Gate Judge must verify a fault with a diagram ¡ • If the Gate Judge marks a bib # as having committed a fault and does not supply an accurate diagram, THE FAULT WILL NOT BE VALID! ¡
