MOGULS COMPETITION
Mogul competition shall consist of two runs of free skiing on Lower Roadrunner and Double Eagle. Please note:  NO INVERTED AIR.

Only The better of the two runs will be scored used in determining the results.

SCORING
Turns Consisting of 66 % of the score
Air Consisting of 33% of the score

Scoring Procedure
A Three Judge Format
The Judges will evaluate the competitor’s performance using a scoring system as follows:

Turn Judges
Two Judges shall independently evaluate the competitor’s performance and the scores are added together.

Air Judges
One Judge shall independently evaluate the competitor’s performance and the scores are added together.

Total Score
The scores for Turns and Air are added for each run and the highest scoring run is counted.

Judging Criteria
Turns (2/3 of score)
Turns, as judging criteria refer to a technical evaluation of how well a competitor turns through the moguls. Turns refer to rhythmic changes in direction to either side of the fall line, utilizing an aggressive, controlled technique. The competitor shall be judged from start of run till finish. The skier is judged to the finish line where the skier must show control and stop.

There are Four Points to Consider
Fall Line
Skiing in the fall line is considered the shortest way from start to finish. To achieve the maximum points for fall line the competitor should stay in the selected fall line out of the start gate.

Carving
All turns should be initiated by carving. Carving means efficient use of edging to control speed in and out of the turn throughout the whole run. In carving the hip is following the skier’s centerline, not side-to-side motion. Legs should work together.

Absorption and Extension
The skier should follow the shape of the mogul through absorption from the start until the top of the mogul. Extension starts right after the top of the mogul. Pressure between the skis and snow should remain the same during absorption and extension, absorbing as the skier moves up and extending as the skier moves down. The skier should aggressively utilize the moguls to assist initiation of turns.

Upper Body
The head should remain still, facing downhill. The chest should also stay straight and natural. Hands stay in front of body in a natural position. Pole plants should be light and wrist movement goes forward.

Mogul Point Guideline
Excellent 4.6-5.0
Very Good 4.1-4.5
Good 3.6-4.0
Above Average 3.1-3.5
Competent 2.6-3.0
Below Average 2.1-2.5
Poor 1.1-2.0
Very Poor 0.1-1.0
Not Skied 0.0

It is recommended that a 0.5 to 1.0 deduction for each loss of control or fall.

AIR
The Air score is 1/3 of judge’s score and is based on form and difficulty of maneuver. Priorities to judge form and position of the jumps in mogul skiing are:
Quality- Form and Landing
Air- Height and Distance
Spontaneity- Ability to maintain the rhythm of turns prior to and after jump.

Air is scored until skier is landed in control. A fall two turns after aerial will not affect air score. A fall after landing will score poorly for air.

Air Scoring
Minimum 0.0/ Maximum 5.0
Triple or 360 Rotation score 0.1-5.0
Double 0.1-4.5
Single 0.1-4.0
