Competition Format:
The judging panel for this year's Dumont Cup is made up of prominent athletes who have retired from their professional careers as athletes and are now professional Judges for the biggest free skiing events around the globe. The judging panel is made up of Five Scoring Judges and One Head Judge.
Amateur Jam Session:
On Friday, there will be an AM and a PM session where 20 skiers from each session advance to the semi finals on Saturday morning.
Simon Dumont & his crew of fellow pros will be skiing with the Open Amateur Jam and they will pick 20 to move on based on the overall impression each skier leaves during the Open Jam.
Semi Finals:
40 skiers best of 2 runs, 20 skiers advance to the finals
Finals:
20 qualifying skiers & 20 invited pros skiers
For both the Semi-Finals and the Finals, a panel of six judges will score their overall impression of each run on a scale of 1 to 100 based on four main criteria:
1) Style (smoothness of a run)
2) Difficulty ( how difficult was the trick)
3) Originality (is your own style on the trick)
4) Amplitude (how much air a competitor catches)
Competitors in the final round make 3 runs, using the best of 3 scores as their final score.
Final Results:
The $20,000.00 cash purse will be broken down as follows:
First Place: $12,000.00
Second Place: $5,000.00
