RULES & RANKING
The US Ski and Snowboard Freestyle/Freeski Competition Guide is THE place to find all information about national and international level freestyle and freeski, as it relates to the USA.
The Eastern Rules Addendum contains rules and policies specific to the East. Much of the information is not in the Comp Guide, and some rules and policies differ slightly from those in the Comp Guide.
These are the international rules of the sport. Many of the rules for freestyle and freeride come from the FIS Rules; in fact, the Comp Guide serves much like the East Addendum, highlighting what we do a bit differently in the USA.
The FIS List ranks athletes worldwide competing in FIS-level events. An athlete's ranking on the FIS List may be used in the US to qualify athletes to events and the US Team.
The USSS National Ranking List (FSP) is where our ECS "A" athlete regional event scores are recorded. (FIS and international events are scored on the FIS Ranking List.) The Mogul National Ranking List (MNRL) is a ranking list for qualification to FIS and National Championship events, Juniors, and the US Championships. Please learn more about these lists in the US Ski and Snowboard Freestyle/Freeski Competition Guide.
The EPL, Eastern Points List, is where our EQS "B" athlete events are scored. This list applies only to our EQS "B" Tour events. We use the athlete rankings from this list to determine invitations to State Champs and the Young Gun and Junior Championships.
EQS "B" ATHLETE HISTORY tool enables you to look up a B skier's list of events and scores.​
