WILDCARD SKIER LIST

THE 2006 TEAMS & Final Standings

THE 2007 SEASON Will there be one?

$5000 Total Cash Prize Payout

The BarefootCentral.com Racing Cup Series is designed for all you hard core endurance racers who long to prove your team is the most dominant and consistent endurance racing team on the planet.  How does it work and how much does it cost? 

Team Numbers to be selected:
This year, we plan to assign team numbers.  They will be selected from 1-16 and will be assigned in the order teams sign up.  As each team signs up, the owner will be notified of which numbers are still available to choose from.  Your team number will also coincide with the channel on your radio, if you choose to utilize the new Headzone Helmets.  Click Here to learn about Headzone.

How it works: 

Depending on which Class you are participating in will determine who many races you'll need to ski in to compete for the Championship

Each team will be required to compete in 4 races.  The total points of each team's will equal that team's Total Cup Series point count.  The team with the highest points at the end of the year wins the prize pot. 

The winning team will get their names engraved on the BarefootCentral.com Racing Cup Trophy. Each winning team will then get to keep the trophy in their possession until the next champion is crowned (similar to the Stanley cup in NHL).  Our goal is to make the cup the most valued award that each team strives for each year.  Having your team's names inscribed on the cup for all to see year after year.

NEW Point System for 2006:
We have modified the point system for 2006 to make the competition even more competitive across the entire season.   

The RACING RULES for 2006:

• Each team must name 6 skiers to their Cup Series Team. They can only draw from these six skiers for each race. 
• Each team can utilize a maximum of one (1) "WILDCARD" skier per race as long as the skier is chosen from the BFC Cup Series Wildcard Skier list. If we find out that any skier if forced to sit out on purpose to allow a team to bring in a "Wildcard", the team will be disqualified. The spirit of the Wildcard is to give the teams the flexibility to race if something happens that prevents 2 or 3 of their original named 6 from attending an event.
• Each team can only start each member of their six man roster in a maximum of 2 Cup Series Races. A race is defined as any race that counts for points in the Cup Series.  A Wildcard Skier is eligible to be a starter.  If all members attending a race have already started 2 races, all the team member's names will be thrown in a hat and the starter will be drawn randomly.
• Starters must be selected by each team in advance and written on a piece a paper, which will then be placed in a sealed envelope at the time the team is registered for the race.  Envelopes will be opened and starters announced at the Friday Night Skiers Meeting.  At two day events, the starter for day 2 will be required to be named (via sealed envelope) at a pre-determined time the night before the race the next day.  If teams fail to submit a name, the names will be drawn randomly from the eligible starters of that team.  At events where two races are run in the same day, Starters for both heats will be required to be named at the Friday night skiers meeting.  Teams that can not attend the meeting due to travel restrictions will be required to call their starters in.  If a starter is not named or called in, the race officials will draw that team's starter randomly from the eligible skiers competing in that event, including any wildcard skiers.
• Wildcard skiers can only be drawn from available Wildcard skiers published on BarefootCentral.com's Wildcard Skier Listing. Any skier not named to a Cup Series Team can sign up as a Wildcard Skier. Click Here to see the most up-to-date list of available Wildcards.

More Rules:

• Each team must pay the local entry fees to participate in each race and abide by the rules of each race, no matter how crazy they may be.  We will be doing our best to work with local organizers to convince them to run their events utilizing the rules that we have approved for the Cup Series.  The organizers that are unwilling to consider adopting the standardized rules will run the risk of being eliminated from the Cup Series in future years.

• Your team points are determined by the position you place in each race, irrelevant of who you're racing against.  For instance, if your team is the only Cup Series team racing in the Grand Rapids race, and you place 4th, you will be awarded 2 pts.
• Your team must use the same name in every race (i.e. The Breakfast Boys, Team Barefoot Central, etc...)
• The cash prize money will be paid to the team owner or person that enters the team into the Cup Series.  How the money is dispersed to the team members is to be determined by each team independently. 
• If your team is not competing in a particular race, the 6 pre-determined individual skiers from your team may still choose to ski in those races as long as it's not for another Cup Series team.
• If a team uses a Wildcard Skier, that skier can still ski for any team, including another Cup Series team in any other race.  Wildcard Skiers are Free Agents and not tied to any one team.  Any arrangements a team makes with a Wildcard Skier is between the team and the skier.
• All entry fees are non-refundable.  Once you're in, there is no quitting.  You must play to WIN.
• NEW RULE:  If for any reason a member of a Cup Series team becomes injured and can not ski the balance of the season, or decides to stop skiing for personal hardship reasons, the team they are skiing for will have the option to replace that skier with any skier from the Wildcard Skier list.  Before doing so, the team captain must notify us by email to inform us of the circumstances.  The skier that is leaving the team will not be permitted to ski in any race (Cup Series or non-Cup Series) for the balance of the season.  If they do, the team will be disqualified from the Series.
