What is the 'lottery'?
This is the process used to select participants for a qualifier if the number of applicants registered exceeds a certain number – this is between 50 and 200, depending on the qualifier. Please note that in Canada all participants are determined by a lottery.
What is the format for the qualifiers?
In most cases, competitors will participate on a flat course with obstacles. Each competitor has two attempts and the fastest competitors make the cut. Qualifiers will also take place on permanent ice cross downhill tracks, for example at the Serena Ski Resort in Finland.
How many people advance from each qualifier?
The number of winners varies depending on the qualifier, but is usually between 2 and 20.
Which World Championship event will successful athletes qualify for?
For qualifiers in the USA, Canada, Finland and Northern Ireland, winners will advance to the Red Bull Crashed Ice event in the same country. See redbullcrashedice.com for the locations and dates of the four World Championship events. For qualifiers in countries that are not hosting a World Championship event, successful athletes will be allocated a place at one of the four stops. In the case of Russia, qualified athletes will advance to the second World Championship event in Helsinki, Finland.
Can women also register?
Yes. Women are able to register for all qualifiers but will have to compete with men during the try-out. In addition, Canada will be hosting separate qualifiers for women; upon registering, up to 20 women will be selected for each qualifier in Canada, with the fastest female athlete from each advancing to the women's race at the Red Bull Crashed Ice finale in Edmonton.
