2018 was a great year for us here at Super-G to figure our what direction we want to go with our Official Comps and our Fun Comps.
With the finalization of the Official Judging Guide and the implementation of the Super-G Replay System, we are very pleased with the level and accuracy of fair and unbiased judging we can provide.
Areas which make Super-G Competitions unique:
- The Judging Guidelines are clearly posted for everyone to read.
- The Super-G Replay System is a 8 camera system with 1 bird's eye view and 7 other strategically placed cameras to give multiple angles of critical areas of the course.
- When the judges review any questionable areas, everyone present can also view what the judges are looking at.
- When a competitor contests a call, the judges can review the call in question, and everyone present can also view the same footage.
This has proven to ease the minds of many and has improved the quality of the judging immensely.
For the past few months we have been planning to put a new system into effect for 2019.
The Fun Comps are fun and the Official Comps are intense, but it has been expressed by more than a few that weekly and monthly wins are great, but what about overall. So what we have planned for this season, not much will change on the surface
, but behind the scenes and for the end of the year, it should make things a bit more interesting.
