This page provides information for race organizers and administrators about
US Ski & Snowboard services and working with Split Second Timing (SST), the widely used timing software for USSA competitions.
(Other timing software can also be used, but Split Second is the most commonly used timing software in most divisions.)
Go directly to the Far West Masters race services page
for detailed instructions, membership reports, and Split Second setup files for FWM division races.
The procedures we describe are provided as guidelines.
The techniques have been used in various forms by organizing areas in the Far West
over a number of years and have been consolidated here to share the
knowledge and ideas of many people.
This is not the only way to do things, but we know the approach works
and we believe is the simplest way to operate a FW masters race.
Please
use our suggested procedures and data files, it should make your life easier.
Race organizers and administrators have a number of services available though the US Ski & Snowboard web site
for checking that competitors have current licenses and that race codes have been obtained
for sanctioned races on the current season calendar. Starting in November 2011, member
services on the USSA web site are available through the member portal
my.ussa.org and require login
to your member account.
For additional links to US Ski & Snowboard services, forms, and competition rules, see the Race Operations information
section on usalpinemasters.org.
Member Lookup
Most current USSA masters will be listed in the points list file,

A race code is assigned upon completion of the USSA Schedule Agreement, which must be submitted by the race organizer for a competition to be sanctioned on the USSA calendar as a masters competition.
This is essential for liability and secondary accident insurance coverage of the event.

USSA publishes a masters points list
data file containing all licensed USSA masters competitors
periodically throughout the season. The masters points list
file can be used with the Split Second Timing software
to assist in correctly entering racer information such as
name, age, and USSA license number when inserting
competitors in a Masters Alpine race data file.
The masters points list is scheduled to be published regularly during the
competition season, starting in November and updated approximately monthly.
The masters points list file is available for download
from the USSA web site using the
Alpine Points and Rankings page at ussa.org
(click on the link to the masters points list .ZIP file to download).
