Martock Nordic “Sking Rocks” Sprints

This is a skate ski event and you must be 8 years or older by July 1st, 2012.

This is a rocking fun event with everyone having the same chance to win the sprint title.  It doesn’t matter how fast you are, but how you finish the race!  Everyone will ski the course once to get a time (the Qualifier) via an interval start (every 15 seconds, youngest to oldest).   After the qualifier everyone will be listed in order of their time.  The first 4 or 6 skiers (1st heat) will race against each other, but the start will be staggered based on your times.  Meaning the slowest skier in the heat will start first followed by the second slowest with the difference being in their times, and so on.  This will allow for an exciting finish because by delaying each skier by the difference in your times allows for everyone in the heat to finish at the same time from the start.   The top 2 or 3 from each heat move on and the other 2 or 3 go to the B final round of heats from which you could be eliminated.  Everyone will ski at least 2 times and could potentially ski 5 or 6 times.  Prizes will be awarded to the top qualifing time in each age category and the top 3 of the A and B final.  The total event with heats through to the finals will take 3-4 hours depending on how many people participate. We’ll serve lunch and have some draw prizes as well.
