Class C Nepsacs Mt. Sunapee Feb.10, 2010
A few last minute reminders:
- Registration will start at 7:30; Coaches should go to Guest Services with waivers and payment for all athletes. Then proceed to registration desk with proof of payment. At the registration desk, you will be given a packet with start list, rules, and all your athletes' bibs and tickets.
- Athletes do not have to register and wait in a long line, coaches need to collect packets.
- Your athletes can go get settled and get ready to go out and inspect.
- Coaches please remind athletes of the rules of the day, such as if you miss your start, hiking for gates, interference, equipment failure (lost ski) etc. please do not ski thru the course when inspecting, I believe shadowing the course is o.k. but do not go near the gates. Stay on open trails, and ski in control, Sunapee does not want kids practicing tucks, etc... on the open trails, there may be some practice gates set up. Check that morning at registration.
- Please return all bibs to registration table to be checked off before awards if possible. Coaches meeting and volunteer assignments, head gatekeepers meeting, will take place at 8:30, any pre race considerations. If you need additional passes please contact, alpine@mtsunapee.com
- General info: Please be sure athletes return bibs to registration table at end of last race to be checked off, so we can track them down before they leave ski area. Let's try hard to return every bib, they belong to Sunapee. Thank you.
- Please remember, as in accordance with the Nepsac rules and ISSCA, changes in running order can only be made due to sickness or injury of the related athlete. It is the responsibility of the team coach to insure that there athletes are aware of the rules. Each seed will be a random draw. The running order will be reversed within each seed in the second run.
- Any additional volunteers will be appreciated that day, any students that come along not racing can gate keep and help in many ways. Thank you for all your help, we look forward to a great day and great racing. Good luck to all your athletes and have fun. Any concerns or questions please contact abasdekis@misshalls.org or acoyle@cushing.org
