Amateur Finals Format: NEW!!!
Athletes will be seeded based on their combined time in time trials. Matched seeds, in a category will race against each other twice, 1 in each course. Those 2 runs give a final time for the racer. This final format is not your traditional multi-heat bracket racing. Instead this is an all-out 2 run, stay on your bike, get-‘er-done race where differentials cannot save you. Unlike traditional Dual Slalom racing, a Hot Seat will be used during the second run of the finals allowing the current leader in each category to be obvious to the crowd.
Pro Finals Format: Based on seeding from time trials, professional athletes will race in traditional head-to-head racing with best time in both courses advancing.
