2025 Evolution 2 Freeride Series Chamonix Grand Raid Dynastar junior

Event Outline – Grand Raid Chamonix

1. Team Composition

• The derby stages (Special 1 and 2) are raced in teams of two.
• Teams can be mixed in terms of gender, age, or discipline (e.g., male skier with female snowboarder U14).
• Both teammates must cross the finish line together, maintaining clear physical contact (e.g., holding hands, touching a ski pole).

2. Qualification for the Finale

• The final time for a team is the sum of both members’ times across the two derby stages.
  • Example:
    • Derby 1: 3 min 30 sec.
    • Derby 2: 2 min.
    • Total time: 5 min 30 sec.
• Qualification for the linecatcher finale is individual and based on cumulative times within each category (e.g., male skiers, female snowboarders U14).

Qualification Criteria:

• The top 25% of times in each category qualify for the finale.
• If a team with two riders in the same category qualifies partially (only one meets the threshold), both riders are qualified together.
  • Example: If 10 male skiers can qualify and a team places Pierre and Christophe tied for 10th, both will participate in the finale, bringing the total to 11 qualifiers.
