1)  Athletes must race at an out of province race.  If an athlete finishes within 75% of the top three finishers at an Alberta Cup Race, or out of province race they will be selected.

 

2. Athletes who do not meet this standard and have special circumstances can still apply to the high performance committee and  be selected.   (an email or letter can be forwarded to  Doug Sylvester)

 

3. Athletes wishing to pay their own way entirely may ask to be sanctioned by Biathlon Saskatchewan. 

 

4. The final team selections will be made by the high performance committee and ratified by the executive Feb 20^th.

 

5. There will be a team fee for all athletes going that must be paid in advance.  The fee will be determined at a later date.  Likely $400-700.
