...but decisions were made and they should be followed or risk ruining the credibilty of the organization. I'm sorry Neil but you got it all wrong. It's not this ranking that is a risk of ruining the credibility of ISSA. This ranking is getting some credibility back. It's the previous BOD that has ...

Hans Koraeus

Sorry for my comment... eh no, actually I’m not sorry at all. Believe me this is my very, very diplomatic version. And for the last 2 years slalomranking.com have been the Corky’s ranking and not the official ISSA world ranking so I guess it has given me some sort of a ”wild card”. Actually I think ...

Hans Koraeus

Reminds me of the schema I did some 5 years ago for... Skateboard and Slalom Assocoations . It would have been interesting for ISSA to gather info of how far different countries have come in their skateboard association development. That other could then use as means to move forward on their own hom...

Hans Koraeus

Corky, As a representative of the BOD, I see value in your ranking system and want to facilitate continuation of a national ranking. We are working to determine what is the best way to fund that effort. Joe Funny, I have this as a point on my development list. Actually now all statuses are in the i...

Hans Koraeus

Background In 2009 the ISSA World Ranking was down during the whole season. Thanks to some brave ranking supporters we were able to make the effort of calculating a final ISSA World Ranking for 2009. The work with the World Ranking, and the vision for it, is larger than a few volunteers. It is goin...

Hans Koraeus

Well Kalliokoski, welcome to the Masters Ranking. You will be in in there for the next update 1.3. Very soon.

Hans Koraeus

That system you are all talking about is what was used a long time ago and the idea was to get away from it. Because it is not fair that you get a lot of points just beacuse you happen to live nearby where there are a lot of skilled racers. And it skews even more that those racers then never need to...

Hans Koraeus

The worst part is that the man behind it is in ISSA BOD itself. ;-) That is why I want an official statement from ISSA what they are all thinking about. And looking at the sponsors of that ranking says something as well I guess. If that is good or bad publicity is up to everyone to decide themselves.

Hans Koraeus

I would not be a bad idea that to be an official pro you have to register as PRO for ISSA. Only pros need to register and a pro racer commitee will grant or not the person a ISSA PRO status. Then a part is up to the event organizers - To race in a pro class the event organizer could or could not dem...

Hans Koraeus

Seems like that has already been fixed in version 1.2. I will soon make a new update 1.3.

Hans Koraeus

I have not been very updated on the ongoing slalom scene this year and I see now on the 2009 Pro Ranking reults that many maybe have had a hard time getting a good overview of the ranking status situation. It's very important for the ranking and for the racers themselves to have a good view of where...

Hans Koraeus

Yes, A big Thank You to the following persons who have made a big effort in getting in event results for the 2009 World Ranking or other help or motivation boost. Rick Floyd, USA Silvio Endrizzi, Italy Josef Stefka, Czeck Republic Gustavs Gailitis, Latvia Ricardo Damborenea, Spain Jani Söderhäll, Sw...

Hans Koraeus

Rick, There is no "bad blood" between me and ISSA BOD. I'm just trying to make an effort to see if there is any motivation/plan for the ranking in 2010. It's no coincident I checked in to the slalom community at the end of the year to see what could be done for the 2009 ranking but as much to see if...

Hans Koraeus

The vision is (still) to handle both calendar, event info, event registration and event results on www.slalomranking.com. It already has all the parts needed because they are needed for handling the World Ranking itself. I just have to convince ISSA BOD of this and I don't know how many years it wil...

Hans Koraeus

What i hope for next season is that organisers will use the latest version of Excelmate. It has a funktion that automatically imports results into ranking There is no such thing, yet. But it could be done I guess. You could export data into hundreds of different rankings but it will not help unless...

Hans Koraeus

One final question, just to make sure I do understand: So if sound like a racer who fits into more than one category (such as Masters and Amateur, as Rick does) doesn't have to worry that one division will "rob" his/her points from the other division--which is a good thing. If they qualify for both...

Hans Koraeus

- It says the system will automatically place you in the correct class. However, I am listed as a "Master" because of my age, but did not compete in the Masters class once this year...how will that work? If there is no Master class run specifically the age 45+ racers from the Open/Am class will be ...

Hans Koraeus

And let's say 45+ racer Gib Lewis gets 6th place in the Am race, and places higher than any other 45+ racer. Would he receive 6th-place Am points AND 1st-place Masters points, just by virtue of his age? Yes this is correct. Assuming that no Master Class is run separatly. Same idea for junior classe...

Hans Koraeus

Hmm, if you guys want a world ranking placement as a Christmas present you better hurry up sending in results...

No use calculating anything until we have all Major and Main events registered.

Hans Koraeus

Ok, you elders. I'm back to see if we can get all results together for 2009 and calculate 2009 World Rankings. So check out if your ranking age is registered correctly here to have a chance to get points in the 2009 Masters Ranking. Concerning Master ranking discussions above Just to clarify how it ...

Hans Koraeus

For instance, how do you handle results when there are no ISSA classes, but only an A/B/C? If there are A/B/C/... classes that is handled just as a big Open class. I presume the classes are determinded by a qualifcation. The final results for the ranking with 16 racers in each class wil be... 1 1:s...

Hans Koraeus

Well, well, That's what you get for being away from the forum for 8-9 months. And me who thought I was the one who felt uncomfortable with posting here after all this time. :-) Well no worries. The first part was not so important. Just talking shit as the title said. :-) The second part I have a ver...

Hans Koraeus

Talking shit Oh, this feels strange. Haven't been reading or writing in this forum since feb 2009. After like 5-6 years or more of a very intense life since the start of this very forum it feel strange indeed. Unfortunatly this has become a quite depressing forum. Maybe it was before as well. I don...

Hans Koraeus

Hello all you elders. Turn up the volume on your hearing aids.

If you have any friends who want to join the Masters ranking for 2009 help them out by entering their birth years here.

Hans Koraeus

i wasnt going to post on this again, but Corky that's so fuckin ridiculous, who are you leaving off, the Queen and the United fucking Nation? How about this? If you get hosed, then complain to the organizer, If they blow you off tell the ISSA and then the ISSA can DO something other than type a fuc...

Hans Koraeus

When something is wrong some people just love to turn their anger on ISSA. It's so easy. And funny enough most of these people don't think ISSA is worth anything. But why then bother complaining at something which is nothing. Well because ISSA is something important and should be something important...

Hans Koraeus

Don't know if this is the right place for the discussion but what the... If there are any complaints towards an event what so ever... 1. Complain to the event organizer. 2.

Hans Koraeus

All the Rookie rankings are on www.slalomranking.com if someone has missed that. Hidden in the results section.

But... there are some small corrections before the final 2008 rankings can be written into the history books.

Hans Koraeus

Since I started the World Ranking in 2003 I have always had the World cup as an option in front of me. For me it has been quite clear how to do it but I preferred working on the World Ranking idea that was aimed for all the slalom racers more than the World Cup that is aimed for a smaller group. The...

Hans Koraeus

Hmm, I see there has been som progress on the ISSA logo examples. But I still prefer being conservative and stand by the orginal simple one. Even though you can make small changes to make it feel modern. But this idea that "it has to be a slalom skater beacuse otherwise you don't understand what it ...

Hans Koraeus

Ok, I see. Iuri and Kako is missing in the Tight slalom result. I will add them and that will surley make things turn out the way you expect. Thanks for checking these things up. The results I get sometimes are not very easy to figure out. ;-) Right now it should be very easy for you to check yourse...

Hans Koraeus

In my view everything if fine as it is except maybe we could have an official slalom racer as a backdrop. But it is very difficult to get it to look good and most often looks cheap and overkill. I think an International association logo should be quite conservative and clean as a base. I think the o...

Hans Koraeus

I think it was a very good thing done in Paris where Am,Women and juniors all qualified at the same race/course/time. Then there where finals top x AM and top x Women. If any women placed inside top n then they would be in both AM finals and Women finals. Furthermore, this is in the spirit of how th...

Here is the last "inofficial rules" set up through discussions since way back. Seems there is an endless need for reminding of the 100 cone ...

Hans Koraeus

Corky, if you can't improve, why bother! No benefit, simply added cost. But did you not read my answer above? Read it again. Even if you have have two 1:st places in one Major it's still an advantage going to the second one. It is true that your own point can not be increased but by taking high poi...

Hans Koraeus

Claude, it seems more fair counting only the best Major at the moment. Few can attend both. And I don't agree it's a waste of time or money to attend both the Majors if you can. 1. Going to a second Major gives you the chance to improve your "Major points" that are the most important points during t...
