== Setting up combined scoring rules ==
In order for combined results (qualifications, rankings, divisional overall standings) to be calculated, your division must select scoring rules. For this season, send your selections to James Cialdea by e-mail (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]). You may have different rules for the Men and Ladies - that is not a problem, just provide information for each and we will take care of the rest.

The available rules are described below. If you use a different rule, include that information in the e-mail. You may select one rule and up to three tie breakers for Individual and Team combined scoring. You do not need to select three tie breakers if your division does not have rules for three levels of ties.

In other words, fill in this grid:
* Conference Name:
* Division Name:
* Team Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Team Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
* Individual Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Individual Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)

Example:
<pre>
Conference Name: Rocky Mountain
Division Name: Rocky Mountain

Team Combined Rules
Rule: Team Finish Place Sum

Individual Combined Rules
Rule: World Cup Top 30
</pre>

=== Individual Combined Rules ===
For Individual Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Linear, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers, counting down linearly from 30. (1st = 30, 2nd = 29, ... , 29th = 2, 30th = 1, 31st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Linear, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers, counting down linearly from 15. (1st = 15, 2nd = 14, ... , 14th = 2, 15th = 1, 16st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;World Cup, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "current system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Continental, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "top 15 system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Race Points
:Sum of race points from FIS/USSA/USCSA formula, lowest score wins. Racers who do not participate in a race are counted as "DNS", and will take 990.00 points for that race. (Note: USCSA points are calculated and displayed in results for all USCSA-scored races regardless of whether this option is used.)
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

=== Team Combined Rules ===
For Team Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Team Finish Place Sum
:Each team is assigned place points for each race equal to the team ranking at that race. The sum of finish places for all races is used for combined ranking. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Finish Place Sum
:Sum of finish places for all racers using in scoring for all races. Dummy finish places will be applied for teams that do not have enough finishers, per USCSA scoring rules. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Race Point Sum
:Sum of race points (FIS/USSA/USCSA formula) for all racers used in scoring. Dummy points will be added for teams that do not have enough finishers. The dummy points will be the points that would be assigned if a racer finished with the dummy time for the race where the team did not have enough finishers. The lowest sum wins.
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

== How to create a USCSA race from the registration website ==
==== Race Registration Website ====
*Go to the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/add-race.html Race Registration] Page
*Fill in '''ALL''' information (Use an easily distinguishable race name)
*Select "Add Race"
*The race code will be emailed to you. Use this code when submitting the race to USCSA (later in the process)
[[Image:web_registration.png]]

== Competitor Classes ==
For each race submission, every participating competitor must be assigned one of 5 classes. This class assignment will determine how scoring is handled for the competitor, and the competitor's team. The classes are:

;A
:For all A-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "A" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. A-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's A-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All A-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;B
:For all B-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "B" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. B-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's B-team. This team '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. All B-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Individual
:For all individually qualified members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "Individual" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. Individual entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All Individual competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Unscored/Guest
:For all non-USCSA members, as well as USCSA competitors from divisions other than the division running the event. USCSA or non-USCSA members may be marked with the "Unscored/Guest" class. If the competitor is a USCSA member, then a USCSA number should be provided. Unscored/Guest entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. Each Unscored/Guest competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points if they are USCSA members and a USCSA number has been provided. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will not''' receive USCSA race points if a USCSA number has not been provided.
;AA
:For all AA-team members. This class '''should not be used''' by most divisions. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "AA" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. AA-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's AA-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results for the race. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All AA-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.

== How to lookup USCSA numbers ==
==== Individual racer lookup on uscsa.com ====
This feature is not available yet. Watch here for updates.
[[Image:racer_lookup.png]]

==== Download the USCSA member csv ====
It is '''critically important''' that your race contains ''USCSA numbers'' and proper ''team abbreviations'' for '''ALL''' USCSA members. The easiest way to find the USCSA numbers and team abbreviations is to look them up in these CSV files.

'''If you cannot find the competitor in the appropriate CSV file for your division:'''
*Do '''not''' make one up
*Do '''not''' put in some place holder value
*'''Do''' contact the national office - there is probably an issue with the competitor's registration that is causing them to not show up in the list.

== After submitting the race ==
An e-mail will be sent to the race organizer within a few minutes which will detail the status of scoring. If there are problems with the submission, a report detailing all the problems will be included. You may correct the errors and resubmit (see the section below). If there are no problems, then the e-mail will note that the submission was successful, and the results will be available on the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/uscsa-results.html Results Page]. If you don't receive an e-mail within an hour, get in touch with James (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]), and note the race code.

=== Correcting Errors ===
Here are some common errors, and hints on how to fix them.

;Must supply USCSA number for all scored racers
:If a competitor is assigned any [[#Competitor_Classes|class]] besides Unscored/Guest, a USCSA number must be supplied. This is used to match up all the results for the season and across seasons.
;No such USCSA Competitor or wrong USCSA ID
:Check to make sure that the USCSA you supplied is correct for the racer. Maybe you missed a digit, or got some numbers out of order. It is also possible that the competitor recently registered and the scoring system has not received an updated competitor list yet.
;Competitor does not exist for this Division and Season.
:The USCSA number you entered is valid, but that competitor is not a member of this division. This could mean: a) that you mistyped the USCSA number and it matched someone else's USCSA number, in which case you should correct the number, b) the competitor is registered incorrectly, in which case you should [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|contact James and the national office]] to correct the issue, or c) the competitor is a guest from a different division, in which case you should change the competitor's class to Unscored/Guest.
;Team abbreviation does not exist for this Division and Season
:The abbreviation used is not recognized. You must use the [[#How_to_lookup_USCSA_numbers|assigned abbreviation]]. If you don't like the assigned abbreviations, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] to change them.
;Incomplete submission. Fill all required fields and try again.
:Make sure the USCSA header (USCSA race code, race date, race type, description line 1, race admin's name, email and phone number) is filled out, and that there are results in the race you are submitting.
;Invalid race code format OR Race does not exist for that race code
:Use the race code that was assigned when you [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|created the race]].
;Results for this race have already been submitted.
:If you meant to make a change to results that you already posted, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] and let him know. If not, make sure you have your race codes straight.
;Malformed time.
:Assuming you are using SplitSecond, you should never get this error. [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|Get in touch with James]] immediately if you do.

== Regional and National Events ==
The process for scoring Regional and National events is very similar to regular divisional events. Read the instructions above (if you haven't already) before reading this section.

'''Note that the scoring system is currently limited to alpine events,''' so disregard everything on this page if you are looking for information about scoring other events.

There are some small changes for scoring Regional and National events:
# Information about which competitors and teams will be attending each Regional Championship and National Championship event must be sent to James (see below for contact information) in advance. Include the following information in an e-mail as soon as possible:
#* Region name (if not the national event)
#* Qualified Men's teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Qualified Ladies' teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Abbreviations for each team, including teams represented by an individual competitor. (If not provided, abbreviations will be assigned by using the team's abbreviations from within their home division. Any conflicts will be addressed manually.)
#* Individual Men and Ladies (include USCSA number and name. You may include "alternate" individuals if you are not sure who will be at the race. Competitors will not show up in the standings unless they show up at the race, but the results will be rejected unless all competitors are registered in the scoring system.)
# [[#Download_the_USCSA_member_csv|CSV files]] for populating the running order will be available AFTER the list of qualified teams and individuals has been processed by James. He will probably e-mail you when they are ready.
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a regional event, the "conference" will be "Regional Championships", and the "division" will be the name of the region followed by the proper gender for the race
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a national event, the "conference" will be "National Championships", and the "division" will be the proper gender for the race

For most regions - competitors should be assigned to either "A" or "Individual" [[#Competitor_Classes|classes]] for team member status or individual competitor status, respectively. However, there is nothing restricting the use of other classes, and all classes will be scored as they are described [[#Competitor_Classes|above]].

== Setting up combined scoring rules ==
In order for combined results (qualifications, rankings, divisional overall standings) to be calculated, your division must select scoring rules. For this season, send your selections to James Cialdea by e-mail (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]). You may have different rules for the Men and Ladies - that is not a problem, just provide information for each and we will take care of the rest.

The available rules are described below. If you use a different rule, include that information in the e-mail. You may select one rule and up to three tie breakers for Individual and Team combined scoring. You do not need to select three tie breakers if your division does not have rules for three levels of ties.

In other words, fill in this grid:

If you don't receive an e-mail within an hour, get in touch with James (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]), and note the race code.

=== Correcting Errors ===
Here are some common errors, and hints on how to fix them.

;Must supply USCSA number for all scored racers
:If a competitor is assigned any [[#Competitor_Classes|class]] besides Unscored/Guest, a USCSA number must be supplied. This is used to match up all the results for the season and across seasons.
;No such USCSA Competitor or wrong USCSA ID
:Check to make sure that the USCSA you supplied is correct for the racer. Maybe you missed a digit, or got some numbers out of order. It is also possible that the competitor recently registered and the scoring system has not received an updated competitor list yet.
;Competitor does not exist for this Division and Season.
:The USCSA number you entered is valid, but that competitor is not a member of this division. This could mean: a) that you mistyped the USCSA number and it matched someone else's USCSA number, in which case you should correct the number, b) the competitor is registered incorrectly, in which case you should [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|contact James and the national office]] to correct the issue, or c) the competitor is a guest from a different division, in which case you should change the competitor's class to Unscored/Guest.
;Team abbreviation does not exist for this Division and Season
:The abbreviation used is not recognized. You must use the [[#How_to_lookup_USCSA_numbers|assigned abbreviation]]. If you don't like the assigned abbreviations, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] to change them.
;Incomplete submission. Fill all required fields and try again.
:Make sure the USCSA header (USCSA race code, race date, race type, description line 1, race admin's name, email and phone number) is filled out, and that there are results in the race you are submitting.
;Invalid race code format OR Race does not exist for that race code
:Use the race code that was assigned when you [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|created the race]].
;Results for this race have already been submitted.
:If you meant to make a change to results that you already posted, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] and let him know. If not, make sure you have your race codes straight.
;Malformed time.
:Assuming you are using SplitSecond, you should never get this error. [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|Get in touch with James]] immediately if you do.

== Regional and National Events ==
The process for scoring Regional and National events is very similar to regular divisional events. Read the instructions above (if you haven't already) before reading this section.

'''Note that the scoring system is currently limited to alpine events,''' so disregard everything on this page if you are looking for information about scoring other events.

There are some small changes for scoring Regional and National events:
# Information about which competitors and teams will be attending each Regional Championship and National Championship event must be sent to James (see below for contact information) in advance. Include the following information in an e-mail as soon as possible:
#* Region name (if not the national event)
#* Qualified Men's teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Qualified Ladies' teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Abbreviations for each team, including teams represented by an individual competitor. (If not provided, abbreviations will be assigned by using the team's abbreviations from within their home division. Any conflicts will be addressed manually.)
#* Individual Men and Ladies (include USCSA number and name. You may include "alternate" individuals if you are not sure who will be at the race. Competitors will not show up in the standings unless they show up at the race, but the results will be rejected unless all competitors are registered in the scoring system.)
# [[#Download_the_USCSA_member_csv|CSV files]] for populating the running order will be available AFTER the list of qualified teams and individuals has been processed by James. He will probably e-mail you when they are ready.
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a regional event, the "conference" will be "Regional Championships", and the "division" will be the name of the region followed by the proper gender for the race
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a national event, the "conference" will be "National Championships", and the "division" will be the proper gender for the race

For most regions - competitors should be assigned to either "A" or "Individual" [[#Competitor_Classes|classes]] for team member status or individual competitor status, respectively. However, there is nothing restricting the use of other classes, and all classes will be scored as they are described [[#Competitor_Classes|above]].

== Setting up combined scoring rules ==
In order for combined results (qualifications, rankings, divisional overall standings) to be calculated, your division must select scoring rules. For this season, send your selections to James Cialdea by e-mail (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]). You may have different rules for the Men and Ladies - that is not a problem, just provide information for each and we will take care of the rest.

The available rules are described below. If you use a different rule, include that information in the e-mail. You may select one rule and up to three tie breakers for Individual and Team combined scoring. You do not need to select three tie breakers if your division does not have rules for three levels of ties.

In other words, fill in this grid:
* Conference Name:
* Division Name:
* Team Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Team Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
* Individual Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Individual Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)

Example:
<pre>
Conference Name: Rocky Mountain
Division Name: Rocky Mountain

Team Combined Rules
Rule: Team Finish Place Sum

Individual Combined Rules
Rule: World Cup Top 30
</pre>

=== Individual Combined Rules ===
For Individual Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Linear, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers, counting down linearly from 30. (1st = 30, 2nd = 29, ... , 29th = 2, 30th = 1, 31st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Linear, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers, counting down linearly from 15. (1st = 15, 2nd = 14, ... , 14th = 2, 15th = 1, 16st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;World Cup, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "current system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Continental, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "top 15 system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Race Points
:Sum of race points from FIS/USSA/USCSA formula, lowest score wins. Racers who do not participate in a race are counted as "DNS", and will take 990.00 points for that race. (Note: USCSA points are calculated and displayed in results for all USCSA-scored races regardless of whether this option is used.)
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

=== Team Combined Rules ===
For Team Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Team Finish Place Sum
:Each team is assigned place points for each race equal to the team ranking at that race. The sum of finish places for all races is used for combined ranking. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Finish Place Sum
:Sum of finish places for all racers using in scoring for all races. Dummy finish places will be applied for teams that do not have enough finishers, per USCSA scoring rules. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Race Point Sum
:Sum of race points (FIS/USSA/USCSA formula) for all racers used in scoring. Dummy points will be added for teams that do not have enough finishers. The dummy points will be the points that would be assigned if a racer finished with the dummy time for the race where the team did not have enough finishers. The lowest sum wins.
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

== How to create a USCSA race from the registration website ==
==== Race Registration Website ====
*Go to the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/add-race.html Race Registration] Page
*Fill in '''ALL''' information (Use an easily distinguishable race name)
*Select "Add Race"
*The race code will be emailed to you. Use this code when submitting the race to USCSA (later in the process)
[[Image:web_registration.png]]

== How to lookup USCSA numbers ==
==== Individual racer lookup on uscsa.com ====
This feature is not available yet. Watch here for updates.
[[Image:racer_lookup.png]]

==== Download the USCSA member csv ====
It is '''critically important''' that your race contains ''USCSA numbers'' and proper ''team abbreviations'' for '''ALL''' USCSA members. The easiest way to find the USCSA numbers and team abbreviations is to look them up in these CSV files.

'''If you cannot find the competitor in the appropriate CSV file for your division:'''
*Do '''not''' make one up
*Do '''not''' put in some place holder value
*'''Do''' contact the national office - there is probably an issue with the competitor's registration that is causing them to not show up in the list.

[http://results.uscsa.com/complists/ Download csv lists]

== Competitor Classes ==
For each race submission, every participating competitor must be assigned one of 5 classes. This class assignment will determine how scoring is handled for the competitor, and the competitor's team. The classes are:

;A
:For all A-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "A" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. A-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's A-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All A-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;B
:For all B-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "B" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. B-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's B-team. This team '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. All B-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Individual
:For all individually qualified members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "Individual" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. Individual entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All Individual competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Unscored/Guest
:For all non-USCSA members, as well as USCSA competitors from divisions other than the division running the event. USCSA or non-USCSA members may be marked with the "Unscored/Guest" class. If the competitor is a USCSA member, then a USCSA number should be provided. Unscored/Guest entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. Each Unscored/Guest competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points if they are USCSA members and a USCSA number has been provided. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will not''' receive USCSA race points if a USCSA number has not been provided.
;AA
:For all AA-team members. This class '''should not be used''' by most divisions. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "AA" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. AA-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's AA-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results for the race. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All AA-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.

== Regional and National Events ==
The process for scoring Regional and National events is very similar to regular divisional events. Read the instructions above (if you haven't already) before reading this section.

'''Note that the scoring system is currently limited to alpine events,''' so disregard everything on this page if you are looking for information about scoring other events.

There are some small changes for scoring Regional and National events:
# Information about which competitors and teams will be attending each Regional Championship and National Championship event must be sent to James (see below for contact information) in advance. Include the following information in an e-mail as soon as possible:
#* Region name (if not the national event)
#* Qualified Men's teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Qualified Ladies' teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Abbreviations for each team, including teams represented by an individual competitor. (If not provided, abbreviations will be assigned by using the team's abbreviations from within their home division. Any conflicts will be addressed manually.)
#* Individual Men and Ladies (include USCSA number and name. You may include "alternate" individuals if you are not sure who will be at the race. Competitors will not show up in the standings unless they show up at the race, but the results will be rejected unless all competitors are registered in the scoring system.)
# [[#Download_the_USCSA_member_csv|CSV files]] for populating the running order will be available AFTER the list of qualified teams and individuals has been processed by James. He will probably e-mail you when they are ready.
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a regional event, the "conference" will be "Regional Championships", and the "division" will be the name of the region followed by the proper gender for the race
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a national event, the "conference" will be "National Championships", and the "division" will be the proper gender for the race

For most regions - competitors should be assigned to either "A" or "Individual" [[#Competitor_Classes|classes]] for team member status or individual competitor status, respectively. However, there is nothing restricting the use of other classes, and all classes will be scored as they are described [[#Competitor_Classes|above]].

USCSA Race setup with SplitSecond

2011-12-29T02:15:27Z

Emillbrandt: /* Add competitors to the race */

== Setting up combined scoring rules ==
In order for combined results (qualifications, rankings, divisional overall standings) to be calculated, your division must select scoring rules. For this season, send your selections to James Cialdea by e-mail (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]). You may have different rules for the Men and Ladies - that is not a problem, just provide information for each and we will take care of the rest.

The available rules are described below. If you use a different rule, include that information in the e-mail. You may select one rule and up to three tie breakers for Individual and Team combined scoring. You do not need to select three tie breakers if your division does not have rules for three levels of ties.

In other words, fill in this grid:
* Conference Name:
* Division Name:
* Team Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Team Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
* Individual Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Individual Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)

Example:
<pre>
Conference Name: Rocky Mountain
Division Name: Rocky Mountain

Team Combined Rules
Rule: Team Finish Place Sum

Individual Combined Rules
Rule: World Cup Top 30
</pre>

=== Individual Combined Rules ===
For Individual Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Linear, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers, counting down linearly from 30. (1st = 30, 2nd = 29, ... , 29th = 2, 30th = 1, 31st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Linear, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers, counting down linearly from 15. (1st = 15, 2nd = 14, ... , 14th = 2, 15th = 1, 16st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;World Cup, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "current system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Continental, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "top 15 system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Race Points
:Sum of race points from FIS/USSA/USCSA formula, lowest score wins. Racers who do not participate in a race are counted as "DNS", and will take 990.00 points for that race. (Note: USCSA points are calculated and displayed in results for all USCSA-scored races regardless of whether this option is used.)
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

=== Team Combined Rules ===
For Team Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Team Finish Place Sum
:Each team is assigned place points for each race equal to the team ranking at that race. The sum of finish places for all races is used for combined ranking. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Finish Place Sum
:Sum of finish places for all racers using in scoring for all races. Dummy finish places will be applied for teams that do not have enough finishers, per USCSA scoring rules. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Race Point Sum
:Sum of race points (FIS/USSA/USCSA formula) for all racers used in scoring. Dummy points will be added for teams that do not have enough finishers. The dummy points will be the points that would be assigned if a racer finished with the dummy time for the race where the team did not have enough finishers. The lowest sum wins.
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

== How to create a USCSA race from the registration website ==
==== Race Registration Website ====
*Go to the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/add-race.html Race Registration] Page
*Fill in '''ALL''' information (Use an easily distinguishable race name)
*Select "Add Race"
*The race code will be emailed to you. Use this code when submitting the race to USCSA (later in the process)
[[Image:web_registration.png]]

== How to lookup USCSA numbers ==
==== Individual racer lookup on uscsa.com ====
This feature is not available yet. Watch here for updates.
[[Image:racer_lookup.png]]

==== Download the USCSA member csv ====
It is '''critically important''' that your race contains ''USCSA numbers'' and proper ''team abbreviations'' for '''ALL''' USCSA members. The easiest way to find the USCSA numbers and team abbreviations is to look them up in these CSV files.

'''If you cannot find the competitor in the appropriate CSV file for your division:'''
*Do '''not''' make one up
*Do '''not''' put in some place holder value
*'''Do''' contact the national office - there is probably an issue with the competitor's registration that is causing them to not show up in the list.

[http://results.uscsa.com/complists/ Download csv lists]

== Competitor Classes ==
For each race submission, every participating competitor must be assigned one of 5 classes. This class assignment will determine how scoring is handled for the competitor, and the competitor's team. The classes are:

;A
:For all A-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "A" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. A-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's A-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All A-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;B
:For all B-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "B" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. B-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's B-team. This team '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. All B-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Individual
:For all individually qualified members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "Individual" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. Individual entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All Individual competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Unscored/Guest
:For all non-USCSA members, as well as USCSA competitors from divisions other than the division running the event. USCSA or non-USCSA members may be marked with the "Unscored/Guest" class. If the competitor is a USCSA member, then a USCSA number should be provided. Unscored/Guest entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. Each Unscored/Guest competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points if they are USCSA members and a USCSA number has been provided. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will not''' receive USCSA race points if a USCSA number has not been provided.
;AA
:For all AA-team members. This class '''should not be used''' by most divisions. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "AA" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. AA-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's AA-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results for the race. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All AA-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.

If you don't receive an e-mail within an hour, get in touch with James (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]), and note the race code.

=== Correcting Errors ===
Here are some common errors, and hints on how to fix them.

;Must supply USCSA number for all scored racers
:If a competitor is assigned any [[#Competitor_Classes|class]] besides Unscored/Guest, a USCSA number must be supplied. This is used to match up all the results for the season and across seasons.
;No such USCSA Competitor or wrong USCSA ID
:Check to make sure that the USCSA you supplied is correct for the racer. Maybe you missed a digit, or got some numbers out of order. It is also possible that the competitor recently registered and the scoring system has not received an updated competitor list yet.
;Competitor does not exist for this Division and Season.
:The USCSA number you entered is valid, but that competitor is not a member of this division. This could mean: a) that you mistyped the USCSA number and it matched someone else's USCSA number, in which case you should correct the number, b) the competitor is registered incorrectly, in which case you should [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|contact James and the national office]] to correct the issue, or c) the competitor is a guest from a different division, in which case you should change the competitor's class to Unscored/Guest.
;Team abbreviation does not exist for this Division and Season
:The abbreviation used is not recognized. You must use the [[#How_to_lookup_USCSA_numbers|assigned abbreviation]]. If you don't like the assigned abbreviations, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] to change them.
;Incomplete submission. Fill all required fields and try again.

It is '''critically important''' that your race contains ''USCSA numbers'' and proper ''team abbreviations'' for '''ALL''' USCSA members. The easiest way to find the USCSA numbers and team abbreviations is to look them up in these CSV files.

'''If you cannot find the competitor in the appropriate CSV file for your division:'''
*Do '''not''' make one up
*Do '''not''' put in some place holder value
*'''Do''' contact the national office - there is probably an issue with the competitor's registration that is causing them to not show up in the list.

== Competitor Classes ==
For each race submission, every participating competitor must be assigned one of 5 classes. This class assignment will determine how scoring is handled for the competitor, and the competitor's team. The classes are:

;A
:For all A-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "A" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. A-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's A-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All A-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;B
:For all B-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "B" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. B-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's B-team. This team '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. All B-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Individual
:For all individually qualified members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "Individual" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. Individual entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All Individual competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Unscored/Guest
:For all non-USCSA members, as well as USCSA competitors from divisions other than the division running the event. USCSA or non-USCSA members may be marked with the "Unscored/Guest" class. If the competitor is a USCSA member, then a USCSA number should be provided. Unscored/Guest entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. Each Unscored/Guest competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points if they are USCSA members and a USCSA number has been provided. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will not''' receive USCSA race points if a USCSA number has not been provided.
;AA
:For all AA-team members. This class '''should not be used''' by most divisions. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "AA" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. AA-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's AA-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results for the race. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All AA-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.

== After submitting the race ==
An e-mail will be sent to the race organizer within a few minutes which will detail the status of scoring. If there are problems with the submission, a report detailing all the problems will be included. You may correct the errors and resubmit (see the section below). If there are no problems, then the e-mail will note that the submission was successful, and the results will be available on the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/uscsa-results.html Results Page]. If you don't receive an e-mail within an hour, get in touch with James (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]), and note the race code.

=== Correcting Errors ===
Here are some common errors, and hints on how to fix them.

;Must supply USCSA number for all scored racers
:If a competitor is assigned any [[#Competitor_Classes|class]] besides Unscored/Guest, a USCSA number must be supplied. This is used to match up all the results for the season and across seasons.
;No such USCSA Competitor or wrong USCSA ID
:Check to make sure that the USCSA you supplied is correct for the racer. Maybe you missed a digit, or got some numbers out of order. It is also possible that the competitor recently registered and the scoring system has not received an updated competitor list yet.
;Competitor does not exist for this Division and Season.
:The USCSA number you entered is valid, but that competitor is not a member of this division. This could mean: a) that you mistyped the USCSA number and it matched someone else's USCSA number, in which case you should correct the number, b) the competitor is registered incorrectly, in which case you should [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|contact James and the national office]] to correct the issue, or c) the competitor is a guest from a different division, in which case you should change the competitor's class to Unscored/Guest.
;Team abbreviation does not exist for this Division and Season
:The abbreviation used is not recognized. You must use the [[#How_to_lookup_USCSA_numbers|assigned abbreviation]]. If you don't like the assigned abbreviations, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] to change them.
;Incomplete submission. Fill all required fields and try again.
:Make sure the USCSA header (USCSA race code, race date, race type, description line 1, race admin's name, email and phone number) is filled out, and that there are results in the race you are submitting.
;Invalid race code format OR Race does not exist for that race code
:Use the race code that was assigned when you [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|created the race]].
;Results for this race have already been submitted.
:If you meant to make a change to results that you already posted, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] and let him know. If not, make sure you have your race codes straight.
;Malformed time.
:Assuming you are using SplitSecond, you should never get this error. [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|Get in touch with James]] immediately if you do.

== Regional and National Events ==
The process for scoring Regional and National events is very similar to regular divisional events. Read the instructions above (if you haven't already) before reading this section.

'''Note that the scoring system is currently limited to alpine events,''' so disregard everything on this page if you are looking for information about scoring other events.

There are some small changes for scoring Regional and National events:
# Information about which competitors and teams will be attending each Regional Championship and National Championship event must be sent to James (see below for contact information) in advance. Include the following information in an e-mail as soon as possible:
#* Region name (if not the national event)
#* Qualified Men's teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Qualified Ladies' teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Abbreviations for each team, including teams represented by an individual competitor. (If not provided, abbreviations will be assigned by using the team's abbreviations from within their home division. Any conflicts will be addressed manually.)
#* Individual Men and Ladies (include USCSA number and name. You may include "alternate" individuals if you are not sure who will be at the race. Competitors will not show up in the standings unless they show up at the race, but the results will be rejected unless all competitors are registered in the scoring system.)
# [[#Download_the_USCSA_member_csv|CSV files]] for populating the running order will be available AFTER the list of qualified teams and individuals has been processed by James. He will probably e-mail you when they are ready.
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a regional event, the "conference" will be "Regional Championships", and the "division" will be the name of the region followed by the proper gender for the race
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a national event, the "conference" will be "National Championships", and the "division" will be the proper gender for the race

For most regions - competitors should be assigned to either "A" or "Individual" [[#Competitor_Classes|classes]] for team member status or individual competitor status, respectively. However, there is nothing restricting the use of other classes, and all classes will be scored as they are described [[#Competitor_Classes|above]].

== Setting up combined scoring rules ==
In order for combined results (qualifications, rankings, divisional overall standings) to be calculated, your division must select scoring rules. For this season, send your selections to James Cialdea by e-mail (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]). You may have different rules for the Men and Ladies - that is not a problem, just provide information for each and we will take care of the rest.

The available rules are described below. If you use a different rule, include that information in the e-mail. You may select one rule and up to three tie breakers for Individual and Team combined scoring. You do not need to select three tie breakers if your division does not have rules for three levels of ties.

In other words, fill in this grid:
* Conference Name:
* Division Name:
* Team Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Team Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
* Individual Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Individual Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)

=== Correcting Errors ===
Here are some common errors, and hints on how to fix them.

;Must supply USCSA number for all scored racers
:If a competitor is assigned any [[#Competitor_Classes|class]] besides Unscored/Guest, a USCSA number must be supplied. This is used to match up all the results for the season and across seasons.
;No such USCSA Competitor or wrong USCSA ID
:Check to make sure that the USCSA you supplied is correct for the racer. Maybe you missed a digit, or got some numbers out of order. It is also possible that the competitor recently registered and the scoring system has not received an updated competitor list yet.
;Competitor does not exist for this Division and Season.
:The USCSA number you entered is valid, but that competitor is not a member of this division. This could mean: a) that you mistyped the USCSA number and it matched someone else's USCSA number, in which case you should correct the number, b) the competitor is registered incorrectly, in which case you should [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|contact James and the national office]] to correct the issue, or c) the competitor is a guest from a different division, in which case you should change the competitor's class to Unscored/Guest.

== Regional and National Events ==
The process for scoring Regional and National events is very similar to regular divisional events. Read the instructions above (if you haven't already) before reading this section.

'''Note that the scoring system is currently limited to alpine events,''' so disregard everything on this page if you are looking for information about scoring other events.

There are some small changes for scoring Regional and National events:
# Information about which competitors and teams will be attending each Regional Championship and National Championship event must be sent to James (see below for contact information) in advance. Include the following information in an e-mail as soon as possible:
#* Region name (if not the national event)
#* Qualified Men's teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Qualified Ladies' teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Abbreviations for each team, including teams represented by an individual competitor. (If not provided, abbreviations will be assigned by using the team's abbreviations from within their home division. Any conflicts will be addressed manually.)
#* Individual Men and Ladies (include USCSA number and name. You may include "alternate" individuals if you are not sure who will be at the race. Competitors will not show up in the standings unless they show up at the race, but the results will be rejected unless all competitors are registered in the scoring system.)
# [[#Download_the_USCSA_member_csv|CSV files]] for populating the running order will be available AFTER the list of qualified teams and individuals has been processed by James. He will probably e-mail you when they are ready.
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a regional event, the "conference" will be "Regional Championships", and the "division" will be the name of the region followed by the proper gender for the race
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a national event, the "conference" will be "National Championships", and the "division" will be the proper gender for the race

For most regions - competitors should be assigned to either "A" or "Individual" [[#Competitor_Classes|classes]] for team member status or individual competitor status, respectively. However, there is nothing restricting the use of other classes, and all classes will be scored as they are described [[#Competitor_Classes|above]].

== Setting up combined scoring rules ==
In order for combined results (qualifications, rankings, divisional overall standings) to be calculated, your division must select scoring rules. For this season, send your selections to James Cialdea by e-mail (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]). You may have different rules for the Men and Ladies - that is not a problem, just provide information for each and we will take care of the rest.

The available rules are described below. If you use a different rule, include that information in the e-mail. You may select one rule and up to three tie breakers for Individual and Team combined scoring. You do not need to select three tie breakers if your division does not have rules for three levels of ties.

In other words, fill in this grid:
* Conference Name:
* Division Name:
* Team Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Team Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
* Individual Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Individual Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)

Example:
<pre>
Conference Name: Rocky Mountain
Division Name: Rocky Mountain

Team Combined Rules
Rule: Team Finish Place Sum

Individual Combined Rules
Rule: World Cup Top 30
</pre>

=== Individual Combined Rules ===
For Individual Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Linear, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers, counting down linearly from 30. (1st = 30, 2nd = 29, ... , 29th = 2, 30th = 1, 31st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Linear, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers, counting down linearly from 15. (1st = 15, 2nd = 14, ... , 14th = 2, 15th = 1, 16st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;World Cup, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "current system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Continental, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "top 15 system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Race Points
:Sum of race points from FIS/USSA/USCSA formula, lowest score wins. Racers who do not participate in a race are counted as "DNS", and will take 990.00 points for that race. (Note: USCSA points are calculated and displayed in results for all USCSA-scored races regardless of whether this option is used.)
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

=== Team Combined Rules ===
For Team Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Team Finish Place Sum
:Each team is assigned place points for each race equal to the team ranking at that race. The sum of finish places for all races is used for combined ranking. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Finish Place Sum
:Sum of finish places for all racers using in scoring for all races. Dummy finish places will be applied for teams that do not have enough finishers, per USCSA scoring rules. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Race Point Sum
:Sum of race points (FIS/USSA/USCSA formula) for all racers used in scoring. Dummy points will be added for teams that do not have enough finishers. The dummy points will be the points that would be assigned if a racer finished with the dummy time for the race where the team did not have enough finishers. The lowest sum wins.
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

== How to create a USCSA race from the registration website ==
==== Race Registration Website ====
*Go to the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/add-race.html Race Registration] Page
*Fill in '''ALL''' information (Use an easily distinguishable race name)
*Select "Add Race"
*The race code will be emailed to you. Use this code when submitting the race to USCSA (later in the process)
[[Image:web_registration.png]]

== How to lookup USCSA numbers ==
==== Individual racer lookup on uscsa.com ====
This feature is not available yet. Watch here for updates.
[[Image:racer_lookup.png]]

==== Download the USCSA member csv ====
It is '''critically important''' that your race contains ''USCSA numbers'' and proper ''team abbreviations'' for '''ALL''' USCSA members. The easiest way to find the USCSA numbers and team abbreviations is to look them up in these CSV files.

'''If you cannot find the competitor in the appropriate CSV file for your division:'''
*Do '''not''' make one up
*Do '''not''' put in some place holder value
*'''Do''' contact the national office - there is probably an issue with the competitor's registration that is causing them to not show up in the list.

[http://results.uscsa.com/complists/ Download csv lists]

== Competitor Classes ==
For each race submission, every participating competitor must be assigned one of 5 classes. This class assignment will determine how scoring is handled for the competitor, and the competitor's team. The classes are:

;A
:For all A-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "A" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. A-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's A-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All A-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;B
:For all B-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "B" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. B-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's B-team. This team '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. All B-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Individual
:For all individually qualified members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "Individual" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. Individual entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All Individual competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Unscored/Guest
:For all non-USCSA members, as well as USCSA competitors from divisions other than the division running the event. USCSA or non-USCSA members may be marked with the "Unscored/Guest" class. If the competitor is a USCSA member, then a USCSA number should be provided. Unscored/Guest entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. Each Unscored/Guest competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points if they are USCSA members and a USCSA number has been provided. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will not''' receive USCSA race points if a USCSA number has not been provided.
;AA
:For all AA-team members. This class '''should not be used''' by most divisions. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "AA" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. AA-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's AA-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results for the race. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All AA-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.

Emillbrandt: /* Import competitors into the race */

== Setting up combined scoring rules ==
In order for combined results (qualifications, rankings, divisional overall standings) to be calculated, your division must select scoring rules. For this season, send your selections to James Cialdea by e-mail (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]). You may have different rules for the Men and Ladies - that is not a problem, just provide information for each and we will take care of the rest.

The available rules are described below. If you use a different rule, include that information in the e-mail. You may select one rule and up to three tie breakers for Individual and Team combined scoring. You do not need to select three tie breakers if your division does not have rules for three levels of ties.

In other words, fill in this grid:
* Conference Name:
* Division Name:
* Team Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Team Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
* Individual Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Individual Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)

Example:
<pre>
Conference Name: Rocky Mountain
Division Name: Rocky Mountain

Team Combined Rules
Rule: Team Finish Place Sum

Individual Combined Rules
Rule: World Cup Top 30
</pre>

=== Individual Combined Rules ===
For Individual Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Linear, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers, counting down linearly from 30. (1st = 30, 2nd = 29, ... , 29th = 2, 30th = 1, 31st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Linear, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers, counting down linearly from 15. (1st = 15, 2nd = 14, ... , 14th = 2, 15th = 1, 16st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;World Cup, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "current system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Continental, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "top 15 system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Race Points
:Sum of race points from FIS/USSA/USCSA formula, lowest score wins. Racers who do not participate in a race are counted as "DNS", and will take 990.00 points for that race. (Note: USCSA points are calculated and displayed in results for all USCSA-scored races regardless of whether this option is used.)
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

=== Team Combined Rules ===
For Team Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Team Finish Place Sum
:Each team is assigned place points for each race equal to the team ranking at that race. The sum of finish places for all races is used for combined ranking. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Finish Place Sum
:Sum of finish places for all racers using in scoring for all races. Dummy finish places will be applied for teams that do not have enough finishers, per USCSA scoring rules. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Race Point Sum
:Sum of race points (FIS/USSA/USCSA formula) for all racers used in scoring. Dummy points will be added for teams that do not have enough finishers. The dummy points will be the points that would be assigned if a racer finished with the dummy time for the race where the team did not have enough finishers. The lowest sum wins.
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

== How to create a USCSA race from the registration website ==
==== Race Registration Website ====
*Go to the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/add-race.html Race Registration] Page
*Fill in '''ALL''' information (Use an easily distinguishable race name)
*Select "Add Race"
*The race code will be emailed to you. Use this code when submitting the race to USCSA (later in the process)

== How to lookup USCSA numbers ==
==== Individual racer lookup on uscsa.com ====
This feature is not available yet. Watch here for updates.
[[Image:racer_lookup.png]]

==== Download the USCSA member csv ====
It is '''critically important''' that your race contains ''USCSA numbers'' and proper ''team abbreviations'' for '''ALL''' USCSA members. The easiest way to find the USCSA numbers and team abbreviations is to look them up in these CSV files.

'''If you cannot find the competitor in the appropriate CSV file for your division:'''
*Do '''not''' make one up
*Do '''not''' put in some place holder value
*'''Do''' contact the national office - there is probably an issue with the competitor's registration that is causing them to not show up in the list.

== Competitor Classes ==
For each race submission, every participating competitor must be assigned one of 5 classes. This class assignment will determine how scoring is handled for the competitor, and the competitor's team. The classes are:

;A
:For all A-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "A" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. A-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's A-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All A-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;B
:For all B-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "B" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. B-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's B-team. This team '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. All B-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Individual
:For all individually qualified members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "Individual" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. Individual entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All Individual competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Unscored/Guest
:For all non-USCSA members, as well as USCSA competitors from divisions other than the division running the event. USCSA or non-USCSA members may be marked with the "Unscored/Guest" class. If the competitor is a USCSA member, then a USCSA number should be provided. Unscored/Guest entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. Each Unscored/Guest competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points if they are USCSA members and a USCSA number has been provided. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will not''' receive USCSA race points if a USCSA number has not been provided.
;AA
:For all AA-team members. This class '''should not be used''' by most divisions. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "AA" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. AA-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's AA-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results for the race. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All AA-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.

== After submitting the race ==
An e-mail will be sent to the race organizer within a few minutes which will detail the status of scoring. If there are problems with the submission, a report detailing all the problems will be included. You may correct the errors and resubmit (see the section below). If there are no problems, then the e-mail will note that the submission was successful, and the results will be available on the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/uscsa-results.html Results Page]. If you don't receive an e-mail within an hour, get in touch with James (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]), and note the race code.

=== Correcting Errors ===
Here are some common errors, and hints on how to fix them.

;Must supply USCSA number for all scored racers
:If a competitor is assigned any [[#Competitor_Classes|class]] besides Unscored/Guest, a USCSA number must be supplied. This is used to match up all the results for the season and across seasons.
;No such USCSA Competitor or wrong USCSA ID
:Check to make sure that the USCSA you supplied is correct for the racer. Maybe you missed a digit, or got some numbers out of order. It is also possible that the competitor recently registered and the scoring system has not received an updated competitor list yet.
;Competitor does not exist for this Division and Season.
:The USCSA number you entered is valid, but that competitor is not a member of this division. This could mean: a) that you mistyped the USCSA number and it matched someone else's USCSA number, in which case you should correct the number, b) the competitor is registered incorrectly, in which case you should [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|contact James and the national office]] to correct the issue, or c) the competitor is a guest from a different division, in which case you should change the competitor's class to Unscored/Guest.
;Team abbreviation does not exist for this Division and Season
:The abbreviation used is not recognized. You must use the [[#How_to_lookup_USCSA_numbers|assigned abbreviation]]. If you don't like the assigned abbreviations, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] to change them.
;Incomplete submission. Fill all required fields and try again.
:Make sure the USCSA header (USCSA race code, race date, race type, description line 1, race admin's name, email and phone number) is filled out, and that there are results in the race you are submitting.
;Invalid race code format OR Race does not exist for that race code
:Use the race code that was assigned when you [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|created the race]].
;Results for this race have already been submitted.
:If you meant to make a change to results that you already posted, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] and let him know. If not, make sure you have your race codes straight.
;Malformed time.
:Assuming you are using SplitSecond, you should never get this error. [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|Get in touch with James]] immediately if you do.

== Regional and National Events ==
The process for scoring Regional and National events is very similar to regular divisional events. Read the instructions above (if you haven't already) before reading this section.

'''Note that the scoring system is currently limited to alpine events,''' so disregard everything on this page if you are looking for information about scoring other events.

There are some small changes for scoring Regional and National events:
# Information about which competitors and teams will be attending each Regional Championship and National Championship event must be sent to James (see below for contact information) in advance. Include the following information in an e-mail as soon as possible:
#* Region name (if not the national event)
#* Qualified Men's teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Qualified Ladies' teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Abbreviations for each team, including teams represented by an individual competitor. (If not provided, abbreviations will be assigned by using the team's abbreviations from within their home division. Any conflicts will be addressed manually.)
#* Individual Men and Ladies (include USCSA number and name. You may include "alternate" individuals if you are not sure who will be at the race. Competitors will not show up in the standings unless they show up at the race, but the results will be rejected unless all competitors are registered in the scoring system.)
# [[#Download_the_USCSA_member_csv|CSV files]] for populating the running order will be available AFTER the list of qualified teams and individuals has been processed by James. He will probably e-mail you when they are ready.
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a regional event, the "conference" will be "Regional Championships", and the "division" will be the name of the region followed by the proper gender for the race
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a national event, the "conference" will be "National Championships", and the "division" will be the proper gender for the race

For most regions - competitors should be assigned to either "A" or "Individual" [[#Competitor_Classes|classes]] for team member status or individual competitor status, respectively. However, there is nothing restricting the use of other classes, and all classes will be scored as they are described [[#Competitor_Classes|above]].

== Setting up combined scoring rules ==
In order for combined results (qualifications, rankings, divisional overall standings) to be calculated, your division must select scoring rules. For this season, send your selections to James Cialdea by e-mail (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]). You may have different rules for the Men and Ladies - that is not a problem, just provide information for each and we will take care of the rest.

The available rules are described below. If you use a different rule, include that information in the e-mail. You may select one rule and up to three tie breakers for Individual and Team combined scoring. You do not need to select three tie breakers if your division does not have rules for three levels of ties.

In other words, fill in this grid:
* Conference Name:
* Division Name:
* Team Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Team Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)

== Competitor Classes ==
For each race submission, every participating competitor must be assigned one of 5 classes. This class assignment will determine how scoring is handled for the competitor, and the competitor's team. The classes are:

;A
:For all A-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "A" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. A-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's A-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All A-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;B
:For all B-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "B" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. B-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's B-team. This team '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. All B-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Individual
:For all individually qualified members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "Individual" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. Individual entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All Individual competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Unscored/Guest
:For all non-USCSA members, as well as USCSA competitors from divisions other than the division running the event. USCSA or non-USCSA members may be marked with the "Unscored/Guest" class. If the competitor is a USCSA member, then a USCSA number should be provided. Unscored/Guest entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. Each Unscored/Guest competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points if they are USCSA members and a USCSA number has been provided. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will not''' receive USCSA race points if a USCSA number has not been provided.
;AA
:For all AA-team members. This class '''should not be used''' by most divisions. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "AA" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. AA-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's AA-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results for the race. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All AA-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.

== After submitting the race ==
An e-mail will be sent to the race organizer within a few minutes which will detail the status of scoring. If there are problems with the submission, a report detailing all the problems will be included. You may correct the errors and resubmit (see the section below). If there are no problems, then the e-mail will note that the submission was successful, and the results will be available on the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/uscsa-results.html Results Page]. If you don't receive an e-mail within an hour, get in touch with James (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]), and note the race code.

=== Correcting Errors ===
Here are some common errors, and hints on how to fix them.

;Must supply USCSA number for all scored racers
:If a competitor is assigned any [[#Competitor_Classes|class]] besides Unscored/Guest, a USCSA number must be supplied. This is used to match up all the results for the season and across seasons.
;No such USCSA Competitor or wrong USCSA ID
:Check to make sure that the USCSA you supplied is correct for the racer. Maybe you missed a digit, or got some numbers out of order. It is also possible that the competitor recently registered and the scoring system has not received an updated competitor list yet.
;Competitor does not exist for this Division and Season.
:The USCSA number you entered is valid, but that competitor is not a member of this division. This could mean: a) that you mistyped the USCSA number and it matched someone else's USCSA number, in which case you should correct the number, b) the competitor is registered incorrectly, in which case you should [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|contact James and the national office]] to correct the issue, or c) the competitor is a guest from a different division, in which case you should change the competitor's class to Unscored/Guest.
;Team abbreviation does not exist for this Division and Season
:The abbreviation used is not recognized. You must use the [[#How_to_lookup_USCSA_numbers|assigned abbreviation]]. If you don't like the assigned abbreviations, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] to change them.
;Incomplete submission. Fill all required fields and try again.
:Make sure the USCSA header (USCSA race code, race date, race type, description line 1, race admin's name, email and phone number) is filled out, and that there are results in the race you are submitting.
;Invalid race code format OR Race does not exist for that race code
:Use the race code that was assigned when you [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|created the race]].
;Results for this race have already been submitted.
:If you meant to make a change to results that you already posted, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] and let him know. If not, make sure you have your race codes straight.
;Malformed time.
:Assuming you are using SplitSecond, you should never get this error. [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|Get in touch with James]] immediately if you do.

== Regional and National Events ==
The process for scoring Regional and National events is very similar to regular divisional events. Read the instructions above (if you haven't already) before reading this section.

'''Note that the scoring system is currently limited to alpine events,''' so disregard everything on this page if you are looking for information about scoring other events.

There are some small changes for scoring Regional and National events:
# Information about which competitors and teams will be attending each Regional Championship and National Championship event must be sent to James (see below for contact information) in advance. Include the following information in an e-mail as soon as possible:
#* Region name (if not the national event)
#* Qualified Men's teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Qualified Ladies' teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Abbreviations for each team, including teams represented by an individual competitor. (If not provided, abbreviations will be assigned by using the team's abbreviations from within their home division. Any conflicts will be addressed manually.)
#* Individual Men and Ladies (include USCSA number and name. You may include "alternate" individuals if you are not sure who will be at the race. Competitors will not show up in the standings unless they show up at the race, but the results will be rejected unless all competitors are registered in the scoring system.)
# [[#Download_the_USCSA_member_csv|CSV files]] for populating the running order will be available AFTER the list of qualified teams and individuals has been processed by James. He will probably e-mail you when they are ready.
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a regional event, the "conference" will be "Regional Championships", and the "division" will be the name of the region followed by the proper gender for the race
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a national event, the "conference" will be "National Championships", and the "division" will be the proper gender for the race

For most regions - competitors should be assigned to either "A" or "Individual" [[#Competitor_Classes|classes]] for team member status or individual competitor status, respectively. However, there is nothing restricting the use of other classes, and all classes will be scored as they are described [[#Competitor_Classes|above]].

== Setting up combined scoring rules ==
In order for combined results (qualifications, rankings, divisional overall standings) to be calculated, your division must select scoring rules. For this season, send your selections to James Cialdea by e-mail (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]). You may have different rules for the Men and Ladies - that is not a problem, just provide information for each and we will take care of the rest.

The available rules are described below. If you use a different rule, include that information in the e-mail. You may select one rule and up to three tie breakers for Individual and Team combined scoring. You do not need to select three tie breakers if your division does not have rules for three levels of ties.

In other words, fill in this grid:
* Conference Name:
* Division Name:
* Team Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Team Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
* Individual Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Individual Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)

Example:
<pre>
Conference Name: Rocky Mountain
Division Name: Rocky Mountain

Team Combined Rules
Rule: Team Finish Place Sum

Individual Combined Rules
Rule: World Cup Top 30
</pre>

=== Individual Combined Rules ===
For Individual Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Linear, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers, counting down linearly from 30. (1st = 30, 2nd = 29, ... , 29th = 2, 30th = 1, 31st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Linear, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers, counting down linearly from 15. (1st = 15, 2nd = 14, ... , 14th = 2, 15th = 1, 16st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;World Cup, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "current system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Continental, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "top 15 system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Race Points
:Sum of race points from FIS/USSA/USCSA formula, lowest score wins. Racers who do not participate in a race are counted as "DNS", and will take 990.00 points for that race. (Note: USCSA points are calculated and displayed in results for all USCSA-scored races regardless of whether this option is used.)
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

=== Team Combined Rules ===
For Team Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Team Finish Place Sum
:Each team is assigned place points for each race equal to the team ranking at that race. The sum of finish places for all races is used for combined ranking. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Finish Place Sum
:Sum of finish places for all racers using in scoring for all races. Dummy finish places will be applied for teams that do not have enough finishers, per USCSA scoring rules. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Race Point Sum
:Sum of race points (FIS/USSA/USCSA formula) for all racers used in scoring. Dummy points will be added for teams that do not have enough finishers. The dummy points will be the points that would be assigned if a racer finished with the dummy time for the race where the team did not have enough finishers. The lowest sum wins.
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

== How to create a USCSA race from the registration website ==
==== Race Registration Website ====
*Go to the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/add-race.html Race Registration] Page
*Fill in '''ALL''' information (Use an easily distinguishable race name)
*Select "Add Race"
*The race code will be emailed to you. Use this code when submitting the race to USCSA (later in the process)
[[Image:web_registration.png]]

== How to lookup USCSA numbers ==
==== Individual racer lookup on uscsa.com ====
This feature is not available yet. Watch here for updates.
[[Image:racer_lookup.png]]

==== Download the USCSA member csv ====
It is '''critically important''' that your race contains ''USCSA numbers'' and proper ''team abbreviations'' for '''ALL''' USCSA members. The easiest way to find the USCSA numbers and team abbreviations is to look them up in these CSV files.

'''If you cannot find the competitor in the appropriate CSV file for your division:'''
*Do '''not''' make one up
*Do '''not''' put in some place holder value
*'''Do''' contact the national office - there is probably an issue with the competitor's registration that is causing them to not show up in the list.

;Unscored/Guest
:For all non-USCSA members, as well as USCSA competitors from divisions other than the division running the event. USCSA or non-USCSA members may be marked with the "Unscored/Guest" class. If the competitor is a USCSA member, then a USCSA number should be provided. Unscored/Guest entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. Each Unscored/Guest competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points if they are USCSA members and a USCSA number has been provided. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will not''' receive USCSA race points if a USCSA number has not been provided.
;AA
:For all AA-team members. This class '''should not be used''' by most divisions. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "AA" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission.

An e-mail will be sent to the race organizer within a few minutes which will detail the status of scoring. If there are problems with the submission, a report detailing all the problems will be included. You may correct the errors and resubmit (see the section below). If there are no problems, then the e-mail will note that the submission was successful, and the results will be available on the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/uscsa-results.html Results Page]. If you don't receive an e-mail within an hour, get in touch with James (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]), and note the race code.

=== Correcting Errors ===
Here are some common errors, and hints on how to fix them.

;Must supply USCSA number for all scored racers
:If a competitor is assigned any [[#Competitor_Classes|class]] besides Unscored/Guest, a USCSA number must be supplied. This is used to match up all the results for the season and across seasons.
;No such USCSA Competitor or wrong USCSA ID
:Check to make sure that the USCSA you supplied is correct for the racer. Maybe you missed a digit, or got some numbers out of order. It is also possible that the competitor recently registered and the scoring system has not received an updated competitor list yet.
;Competitor does not exist for this Division and Season.
:The USCSA number you entered is valid, but that competitor is not a member of this division. This could mean: a) that you mistyped the USCSA number and it matched someone else's USCSA number, in which case you should correct the number, b) the competitor is registered incorrectly, in which case you should [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|contact James and the national office]] to correct the issue, or c) the competitor is a guest from a different division, in which case you should change the competitor's class to Unscored/Guest.
;Team abbreviation does not exist for this Division and Season
:The abbreviation used is not recognized. You must use the [[#How_to_lookup_USCSA_numbers|assigned abbreviation]]. If you don't like the assigned abbreviations, [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|get in touch with James]] to change them.
;Incomplete submission. Fill all required fields and try again.

== Regional and National Events ==
The process for scoring Regional and National events is very similar to regular divisional events. Read the instructions above (if you haven't already) before reading this section.

'''Note that the scoring system is currently limited to alpine events,''' so disregard everything on this page if you are looking for information about scoring other events.

There are some small changes for scoring Regional and National events:
# Information about which competitors and teams will be attending each Regional Championship and National Championship event must be sent to James (see below for contact information) in advance. Include the following information in an e-mail as soon as possible:
#* Region name (if not the national event)
#* Qualified Men's teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Qualified Ladies' teams (just the school name is sufficient, the individual athletes' names do not need to be included)
#* Abbreviations for each team, including teams represented by an individual competitor. (If not provided, abbreviations will be assigned by using the team's abbreviations from within their home division. Any conflicts will be addressed manually.)
#* Individual Men and Ladies (include USCSA number and name. You may include "alternate" individuals if you are not sure who will be at the race. Competitors will not show up in the standings unless they show up at the race, but the results will be rejected unless all competitors are registered in the scoring system.)
# [[#Download_the_USCSA_member_csv|CSV files]] for populating the running order will be available AFTER the list of qualified teams and individuals has been processed by James. He will probably e-mail you when they are ready.
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a regional event, the "conference" will be "Regional Championships", and the "division" will be the name of the region followed by the proper gender for the race
# When [[#How_to_create_a_USCSA_race_from_the_registration_website|creating a race code]] for a national event, the "conference" will be "National Championships", and the "division" will be the proper gender for the race

For most regions - competitors should be assigned to either "A" or "Individual" [[#Competitor_Classes|classes]] for team member status or individual competitor status, respectively. However, there is nothing restricting the use of other classes, and all classes will be scored as they are described [[#Competitor_Classes|above]].

USCSA Race setup with SplitSecond

Emillbrandt: /* Configure Ski Club for USCSA races */

== Setting up combined scoring rules ==
In order for combined results (qualifications, rankings, divisional overall standings) to be calculated, your division must select scoring rules. For this season, send your selections to James Cialdea by e-mail (see [[#Getting_help_or_providing_feedback|this section]]). You may have different rules for the Men and Ladies - that is not a problem, just provide information for each and we will take care of the rest.

The available rules are described below. If you use a different rule, include that information in the e-mail. You may select one rule and up to three tie breakers for Individual and Team combined scoring. You do not need to select three tie breakers if your division does not have rules for three levels of ties.

In other words, fill in this grid:
* Conference Name:
* Division Name:
* Team Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Team Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Team Combined Rules, or leave blank)
* Individual Combined Rules
** Rule: (select one from Individual Combined Rules)
** Tiebreaker 1: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 2: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)
** Tiebreaker 3: (select one from Individual Combined Rules, or leave blank)

Example:
<pre>
Conference Name: Rocky Mountain
Division Name: Rocky Mountain

Team Combined Rules
Rule: Team Finish Place Sum

Individual Combined Rules
Rule: World Cup Top 30
</pre>

=== Individual Combined Rules ===
For Individual Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Linear, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers, counting down linearly from 30. (1st = 30, 2nd = 29, ... , 29th = 2, 30th = 1, 31st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Linear, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers, counting down linearly from 15. (1st = 15, 2nd = 14, ... , 14th = 2, 15th = 1, 16st = 0, ... , last = 0). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;World Cup, top 30
:Points are assigned to the top 30 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "current system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Continental, top 15
:Points are assigned to the top 15 finishers using the World Cup point scale (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#World_Cup_scoring_system this wiki article] - the scale used is the "top 15 system"). The racer's points are summed over all races in the division. The highest sum is the leader. Racers with 0 points are not ranked.
;Race Points
:Sum of race points from FIS/USSA/USCSA formula, lowest score wins. Racers who do not participate in a race are counted as "DNS", and will take 990.00 points for that race. (Note: USCSA points are calculated and displayed in results for all USCSA-scored races regardless of whether this option is used.)
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

=== Team Combined Rules ===
For Team Combined scoring, the following rules are available:
;Team Finish Place Sum
:Each team is assigned place points for each race equal to the team ranking at that race. The sum of finish places for all races is used for combined ranking. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Finish Place Sum
:Sum of finish places for all racers using in scoring for all races. Dummy finish places will be applied for teams that do not have enough finishers, per USCSA scoring rules. The lowest sum wins.
;Individual Race Point Sum
:Sum of race points (FIS/USSA/USCSA formula) for all racers used in scoring. Dummy points will be added for teams that do not have enough finishers. The dummy points will be the points that would be assigned if a racer finished with the dummy time for the race where the team did not have enough finishers. The lowest sum wins.
;No scoring
:Combined results are not calculated

== How to create a USCSA race from the registration website ==
==== Race Registration Website ====
*Go to the [http://www.uscsa.com/conferences/add-race.html Race Registration] Page
*Fill in '''ALL''' information (Use an easily distinguishable race name)
*Select "Add Race"
*The race code will be emailed to you. Use this code when submitting the race to USCSA (later in the process)
[[Image:web_registration.png]]

== How to lookup USCSA numbers ==
==== Individual racer lookup on uscsa.com ====
This feature is not available yet. Watch here for updates.
[[Image:racer_lookup.png]]

==== Download the USCSA member csv ====
It is '''critically important''' that your race contains ''USCSA numbers'' and proper ''team abbreviations'' for '''ALL''' USCSA members. The easiest way to find the USCSA numbers and team abbreviations is to look them up in these CSV files.

'''If you cannot find the competitor in the appropriate CSV file for your division:'''
*Do '''not''' make one up
*Do '''not''' put in some place holder value
*'''Do''' contact the national office - there is probably an issue with the competitor's registration that is causing them to not show up in the list.

[http://results.uscsa.com/complists/ Download csv lists]

== Competitor Classes ==
For each race submission, every participating competitor must be assigned one of 5 classes. This class assignment will determine how scoring is handled for the competitor, and the competitor's team. The classes are:

;A
:For all A-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "A" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. A-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's A-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All A-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;B
:For all B-team members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "B" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. B-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's B-team. This team '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. All B-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Individual
:For all individually qualified members. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "Individual" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. Individual entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All Individual competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
;Unscored/Guest
:For all non-USCSA members, as well as USCSA competitors from divisions other than the division running the event. USCSA or non-USCSA members may be marked with the "Unscored/Guest" class. If the competitor is a USCSA member, then a USCSA number should be provided. Unscored/Guest entries '''will not''' be used to create team results. Each Unscored/Guest competitor '''is not eligible''' to score individually. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points if they are USCSA members and a USCSA number has been provided. Unscored/Guest competitors '''will not''' receive USCSA race points if a USCSA number has not been provided.
;AA
:For all AA-team members. This class '''should not be used''' by most divisions. Only USCSA members may be marked with the "AA" class, and a USCSA number must be provided with the submission. AA-team members with the same team abbreviation make up that school's AA-team. This team '''will''' be used to create team results for the race. The team results '''will not''' be used in the divisional standing calculations. Each competitor '''is eligible''' to score individually. Each competitor that scores individually '''will''' be included in the divisional individual standings. All AA-team competitors '''will''' receive USCSA race points.
