Points ListsUSSA Fall AddersZeroing of National lists to FIS 2018The USSA lists are zeroed each summer to bring them in line with the FIS points list - so that FIS and USSA points for a competitor appearing on both lists will be roughly equivalent. This is done by comparing the FIS and USSA points of the top USA-FIS racers in each sex/discipline. The zeroing factors shall be such that the average of the USSA points of these representative competitors, after the factors have been added, approaches the average of the FIS points of these competitors. The adders are applied to every USSA racer’s points.

Single Penalization Situations (sickness, injury, other obligations)Competitors who are unable to compete in sufficient scored events to maintain their seed points because of injury, illness, studies, military obligations, or church commitments may protect their points through single penalization. Single penalization cannot be requested for lack of calendar opportunities. USSA and FIS membership must be renewed each year in order to maintain points, even when an athlete has single penalty protection. For more detailed information see the USSA Alpine Competion Guide, pages 25 & 26, which can be found on the rules page. Forms for both FIS and USSA Single Penalty Protection are available below.
