Team captions are expected to attend to represent their team (they may send someone in their place). Each team receives one vote.
A tentative race schedule is attached.; This year is unique in that there are only 3 full race weekends in February which necessitates the moving of the Michigan Cup Freestyle (Forbush Freestyle) and Classic (Hanson Hills Classic) Championships from the week after the Vasa to Jan 31 & Feb 1 weekend.
