Mid-A Points Explained:

The Mid-A Points system is a ranking system that uses the same calculations as USSA Points.  A skier’s best 3 races for the season are used to determine Mid-A Points. See www.ussa.org for further research.

Important Terms:

Penalty (or Base):

Take the USSA or Mid-A points of the top 5 skiers in the race.

(350 Points will be assigned to athletes without USSA or Mid-A Points)  

Sum the best 3 of these points then divide by 3.75. This is the calculated race penalty.

For Mid-A Points, the F-factor is: Individual starts = 800, Mass/Wave Starts: 1400, Sprints: 1200.
