How Seeding Works

Results from all 'approved' calendar races are collated and processed at intervals during the season to produce the Seed Lists, which are then published in various formats. Although often used to measure individual performance, Seed Lists are officially used to check eligibility against race entry criteria, and to determine race start order.

Publication and Validity Dates

BARTS seed lists are valid for the first race following publication date, so as the intended publication dates are mid-week, the lists would then apply to races the following weekend. Where a publication date falls between a race closing date and the race itself, then one list would be used for acceptance, and the new list for the race itself. Although this causes extra work for the race organisers, the race calendar is so full that there is no way to avoid this situation completely.

A list of events for the current season is available here showing date, location, seed list to be applied, etc.

Software

Race results for BARTS seeding can only be accepted from SkiPro software (either the original event files or a ".spro" backup). The latest copy of SkiPro can be downloaded from Vola.fr, or there is a version here on the Software page.
