2019 AWSA Nordic Competition Rules

The AWSA Army Ski Competition Rule Book is published in 2 disciplines – Alpine and Nordic. The Nordic ski disciplines covered include Biathlon, Cross Country (XC) and the Military Patrol Race.

SIGNIFICANT REVISIONS IN THIS EDITION

Throughout this Rule Book all changes to the 2018 edition are shown in red. The most significant changes to the 2018 Rule Book are:

  • The term “Regional” and / or “Divisional” (as in Championships), has been replaced by “Qualifying”.
  • AWSA 1.11 (IBU 1.2): Age of a “Junior” extended by one year; thus an athlete who was a Junior last season will be a Junior again this season! However, a “3rd year Junior” i.e. born in 1997 will not count as a “Junior” in the context of the “Novice / Junior / Youth “Rule” (AWSA 1.5).
  • IBU 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.4. No magazine to be inserted at either the equipment inspection or final pre-start inspection.
  • AWSA 4.16.6 (IBU 4.2.2): Skis will no longer be checked and marked before the Start in Biathlon, thus AWSA 4.16.6 only applies to rifles.
  • AWSA C.13 & C.14: Revised Qualification system for Female athletes to Ex RUCKSACK.

This 2019 edition is effective from 01 November 2018. It completely replaces all previous editions, amendments and drafts of the AWSA Nordic Rule Book, which should be destroyed.
