Eastern Region PoliciesPlease see the Eastern Region Handbook for a full description of Eastern Region Policies. MembershipMembership in a state racing association is required. A competitor may only belong to one state racing association. A racer shall race for the division and region in which he/she resides or in which they are attending school and/or training on a long-term basis. The decision, which must be made at the start of the season, must be based on where the racer spends the greatest part of his/her ski training and it must be abided by for the entire season, unless there are extraordinary circumstances. Race EntriesThe standard deadline for fully paid entries for all Eastern U. S. Ski & Snowboard races to be received by the race organizer is five days prior to the start of the first event or official training. Entries received after the deadline and/or not accompanied by payment of full entry fee, can be considered late entries. Late entries may be charged up to 150% of the entry fee. Competitors may withdraw entries without forfeiture of any entry fees paid until 5:00 p.m. two days before the race or the start of official training unless a refund deadline has been published. After that time, the race organizer is obligated to refund entry fees only if the entrant can prove that his or her inability to compete was due to force majeure. Out of Region TravelU14s are not eligible to earn U. S. Ski & Snowboard points out of region. Eastern U16s and U14s may race out of region with permission the eastern regional staff. Any eastern U14 athlete who does race out of region will not be credited with National points from these races, unless the athlete races in the U16 National Championship and that race is scored.
