A Little Guidance From the FIS

[Ramón Königshausen]

You omitted one aspect:

If you DQ in the first run and your opponent doesn't, there is still the possibility that your opponent DQ's in the second run.

So you could give someone a "real" DQ in the first run and let the racers run the second run as well to see if the other racer DQ's too. This would be like a second chance for the first DQ'er.

Then the question is: Do we want to give second chances or not?

In the FIS parallel (dual) races, if a racer DQ's on his first run, and the other racer finishes, then there is no 2nd run.


I think this is correct, and that is what I'd like to embody into the skateboard racing rules.

No "magic number" for a DQ penalty carried into the 2nd run. You DQ on the 1st run, you're out. (Unless you both DQ)

Follow this link to see a copy of the FIS rulebook (International Ski Federation) who governs the World Cup, Olympics and all major ski racing events around the world. They preside over Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super G and Downhill. This is a very detailed rulebook and more than the ISSA needs to worry about at this point put I think it can also give a lot of guidance.
