2018 Swiss Pro Slalom

Gloersen · May 13

Elimination Round - currently live webcast.

APB · May 13

It’s a time filler for me... anyone like or need the tension graphs?

Wish · May 13

It's actually kinda cool. The arials are amazing.

Stevie Boy · May 13

@APB thetensoin graph is not doing a lot for me, maybe a training aid, but for spectators another distraction from the sport, in my opinion.

skierjp · May 13

$500 to the strongest pull

Gar · May 13

Whose winning that?

bishop8950 · May 13

Great to see something different. I think the data and the overhead shots are a refreshing change to the coverage we are used to.

andjules · May 13

@Gar Martin Malarczuk, Argentinian skier beat out Travers and Freddie for strongest pull.

jcamp · May 13

Anyone know the Women's top five?

Gar · May 13

@andjules thanks was hoping he did!

WaterSkier12 · May 14

Great webcast! Congrats to all!
The tension meter was interesting

andjules · May 14

@jcamp the women's finals (top 4) were:
Regina (1)
Whitney (2T)
Manon (2T)
Jamie Bull (4)

I think 5th in scoring would have been Brooke Baldwin

hemlock · May 14

Can someone help with the rules for scoring?
I was watching the cast and noticed that Jason McClintock scored 1.5 buoys on one of his passes. I believe the announcer confirmed his score with the judges at the time.
To me it looked like only a 1.25 buoy count, but I'm just not clear on how the rule book judges scoring on how the skier rounds the ball.
Thanks.

@hemloc the thing to keep in mind is that none of the event judges were sitting where that picture was taken (I believe). The only views relevant for the call are from the boat and the towers where the judges are located.

But based on that photo alone, does look like 1.25. Looks close though. Like if he skied a few more feet with his hand on the handle it would be 1.5 because he would cross back inside the buoy line.

Horton · May 14

@bishop8950 you seem to be familiar with this situation....

Horton · May 14

Based on that photo my score would be 1

bishop8950 · May 14

Ya, could be 1 not 1.25 or 1.5. Be interesting to see the boat judge view.

And @Horton go back to your vacation.

APB · May 14

That was a rad event. Love the webcast, love the spot. Anyone else surprised that the women’s 1st place is only 2/3 of the Mens? Great scores on both sides... so easy to do 2500/2500. My opinion.

liquid d · May 14

probably based on number of entries

Kelvin · May 14

I agree with @horton - score is 1. Rope left the hand before the ski made to to the line running through the boat guides and the turn buoy. Just remember, the judges are human looking at it one time in real time. No need to nit-pick the calls. The sport is too small and there isn't enough money riding on it to justify video review of every buoy.

andjules · May 14

I always want to see the frame before

LeonL · May 14

We have the advantage of a stop action shot, but it's pretty clear that the front binding didn't cross the extended buoy line prior to loss of handle. So, 1.

v1car · May 14

I thought it was a great webcast. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Great conditions and high quality skiing.

Ed_Johnson · May 15

Thought it was a GREAT Web-Cast. Playback, Slo-Mo, Stop Action, and aerial views. Plus you can play it back without waiting days. I appreciate and "Thank" those for all the work that went into it's production.
Also, it was FREE !!!

auskier · May 15

How many pro events have we had in the last few years where there has been a photo taken on the bank that would suggest the official score is incorrect? Happens all the time now.

Bill22 · May 15

what @Ed_Johnson said!

elr · May 15

Think we need something like the "Lexi Rule" that Golf adopted . . .

Also, just three weeks after Thompson was hit with the four-shot penalty, the USGA and R&A released a new Rules of Golf decision decision (34-3/10) limiting video evidence in two ways:

1. If an infraction can’t be seen with the naked eye, there’s no penalty, even if video shows otherwise.

2. If a tournament committee determines that a player does “all that can be reasonably expected to make an accurate estimation or measurement” in determining a line or position to play from or to spot a ball, then there will be no penalty even if video replay later shows that to be wrong.

Mateo_Vargas · May 16

@auskier reminds me of a classic BOS thread

lpskier · May 17

The tournament score was in an R, no? If so, there was boat video and a video review judge watching the screen. If he/she disagreed with the tower judges, it’s his job to bring to the CJ’s attention for further review. If he didn’t, and there were no protests, my guess is the skier got the score he deserved.

ConPexEr · May 17

Anyone notice that Brooke Baldwin is on a D3 EVO? I did not see that coming.

Wish · May 17

She and Nate ski on the same lake I believe soooooo.......
