23Jul01 IWSF Tournament Council establishes qualification mechanism for the World Championships to replace the World Cup Rankings

The IWSF tournament council voted to substitute a new entry mechanism to replace the World Cup Ranking mechanism since the World Cup was not held this year.
In addition to the top eight in each event, the Tournament Council will accept entry of up to 4 skiers in each event (2 in overall) under the following conditions:
The skiers must have a two performance average (or single overall performance) equal to or * higher than the qualification level of the ranking list entrants (8th place or 5th overall). Of those skiers who submit their scores performed between Aug 27, 2000 and Aug 27, 2001, the four highest (2 overall) will be taken.
Skiers who feel that they qualify should submit their scores to the Ranking List Chairman, Bob Corson. All scores performed before May 1st of 2001 have already been received.
The deadline for score submission will be September 3, 2001.
