How is the Speed ​​Master Cup circuit born?
The Speed ​​Master Cup Circuit was born on the wave of "Autodrive". It was a bit 'of seasons now that, during the various stages of the circuit Autodrive, many athletes asked us if it were ever possible to create a circuit "Master" similar to the Autodrive. To promote the same, and from the name "Speed", one can guess chr there is a great ski brand, Dynastar and the group to which it belongs; if ever we had some doubts about carrying out this project, the Dynastar once asked, convinced us by entering the project itself. We all know how much Dynastar is close to this segment producing specific skis for the Master categories. The circuit was built, putting together Master competitions that were already on the calendar on their behalf, clearly asking for permission from the companies that organize them, which responded with extreme positivity to that. It is obvious that the accounts are made at the end of the season, but we are sure, that whatever happens, it will be a success!
How is the Circuit structured?
19 races are planned, 16 of which are giant slalom and 3 super-G. In the General Classification by Groups, the first 3 best athletes and the first 3 best athletes are awarded. In the Classification by category the first one of each category is awarded, scoring the highest score by adding the points of the circuit in the 10 best performances in GS: two GS performances of the 30 March finals in Passo Rolle with double points and the two best performances in superG. In case of equal positions, the athlete who has obtained the most victories or best placements in the first 3 will be ranked first.
For the General Classification of the Companies, the best 3 companies are awarded with the highest score, adding the world cup points acquired by all their athletes in all the competition specialties.
Why the Circuit does not provide the discipline of the special slalom?
This year it was not possible to insert it because the Circuit was born at the last and taking the races already on the calendar. Surely for the next season there will be all the specialties: GS, SG and SL.
In which locations are mainly the races of the Speed ​​Master Cup Circuit?
There is no precise rule and no foreclosure for any location. This year we are present at Passo Brocon, Pampeago, Cermis, Forni di Sopra and Passo Rolle where there will also be the last stage that is worth as a Finale with Double Points.
More or less how many athletes participate in each race and what age do they have?
The numbers are always difficult to give and depends more and more on the weather. If the predictions are bad, do not register and you can have races with 50/70 members and races with 100/150 members. The most numerous Master groups are B and C. then the A and always very few the re-senior in the Category competitions; the most dramatic deficiency is in group D.
In addition to the Speed ​​Master Cup circuit there are other master circuits in Veneto? Circuits so structured no.
How is the Master situation in Veneto?
Giving a precise answer is a bit difficult. Surely this year, at least until now, with the exception of Institutional tenders, there has been a decline in participation, not only in Veneto but a bit 'for everything.
