Here is the issue


I have develop (with some help) the new age division rules.
Basically:
Possible event are slalom, tricks and Jump, no Overall (we don't have the formula yet)
How to apply rule when different age merged into a category.

Please vote YES to approve.

New Age Categories at the 2020 35+ World Championships
a) No change on Team Selection – rule (18.02) stays as it is (max 10 skiers…… from 35+, 45+, 55+ and 65+). For team purposes, any competitor above 65 years old can be entered in the 65+ division (but to ski on the team, they must ski in the 65+ division).

b) Any Federation can enter as many wild card competitors above 65 years old as they wish.

c) The competition events for 70+, 75+, 80+ and 85+ shall be slalom, trick and jump only (no overall).

d) Minimum number of competitors for 70+, 75+, 80+ and 85+ Age Divisions:
For the 70+, 75+, 80+ and 85+ age divisions to be held, there must be a minimum of 5 competitors (entered and paid as of the entry deadline) in each of these divisions (even if those competitors ski in different events, so that there are fewer than 5 competitors in one or more of the division’s events). In the event of a division not having enough entries, those competitors will be merged into the next younger age division(s) until there are at least 5 competitors.  Merged divisions will ski under the conditions/rules applicable to the youngest division in the combined group.

- Example 1: 2 competitors in 85+ division, 3 competitors in 80+ division; these skiers will all ski in the 80+ division, under 80+ competition conditions/rules.
- Example 2:  1 competitor in 85+ division, 2 competitors in 80+ division, 2 competitors in 75+ age division; these skiers will all ski in the 75+ age division under 75+ division rules.
- Example 3:  2 competitors in 70+ age division (and 75+, 80+ and 85+ divisions all have 5 competitors, who will ski in their appropriate age divisions); 70+ competitors will all ski in the 65+ age division under 65+ competition conditions/rules.  

e) In order to assign a title and medal, in any event, there must be at least 3 competitors.

Jose Antonio Perez Priego comments: Hi everyone, I like to thank you for a superb job and hard work on this and all changes you are making. 
Please remember that since 2012 we have allowed under the rules for each country to enter 5 “wild cards” for lack of a better term in any of the 35 to 65 division which will not compete for their country but be in addition to the team.
This rule has helped organizers generate a bigger field which in turn is making the senior worlds a most amazing and successful event.

Bob Corson comments: As additional clarification, this is on an event basis so there might be a slalom event, but not tricks and jump if there are insufficient numbers of entries in those events and they drop down to the younger age division.
