⇒PNW Discretionary Policy:
PNW allows discretionary selections. The following procedures apply:
1) The last 2 places of the quota will be considered for discretionary selection.
2) Petitions for discretionary selection are due in the PNW office prior to the Selection Deadline. Late petitions will not be considered.
3) Alternates must submit a discretionary petition to be considered for a discretionary spot.
4) Final decision of a discretionary petition will be a majority vote from the age class working group for the specific championship.
5) If no discretionary spots are awarded, or only one spot is awarded, alternates will be moved up in order to fill the divisional quota.
6) Petitions for FIS events that are denied by PNW Division will be forwarded to the Western Region for consideration.
A racer must provide evidence to show why his or her ranking should be adjusted. Examples of evidence to qualify for discretionary consideration include:
- a) Physician verification of injury or illness and proof that such injury or illness prevented a racer from maintaining competitive ranking.
- b) Results from a higher-level competition, e.g., Regional FIS race, Nor-Am, etc., that prevented a racer from competing in a qualifying event.
- c) Other proof that a racer’s current ranking among his or her peers should be much better than indicated by the current selection procedure, i.e., results from recent competitions, prior season rankings, etc.
