You may
enter as many
individual races as you like,
but to qualify for a Now England Slalom Series Award, you must
participate
in at least 5 races in the same class. Points are tallied
from
the
best 5 finishes, with the Farmington Slalom as a tie-breaker if
needed.
|  Each race will have awards in
all qualifying classes. In
addition, the the New England Slalom Series award ceremony will follow
the
Farmington Slalom. Racers may enter a maximum of 3 classes per race,
and
are eligible for up to 3 series awards. Special participation
awards
are given to those racers who complete a minimum of one race run in
each
of the 10 races in the series. At the end of each race there
is a
drawing
for a certificate good for free entry into one of the next two races in
the
series. Any participating racer present at the awards
ceremony is
eligible
to win! The certificate is good for up to three classes, is
not
transferable, and may not be used for late registration.
