First races of the season due up in the next feed hours. It’s a series of IBSF races in Yanqing that aren’t World Cup events, yet should feature many of the teams you’d expect to see on circuit. 

Good results for :GBR. We always do well on new tracks, where our main rivals don’t have the inherent advantage of long experience.

Nice 6th place finish for :TTO in yesterday’s NA CUP.

Virtually guaranteed to qualify at that rate.

 

Meanwhile, Croatian crew getting a DQ (most likely due to being overweight) is quite upsetting...

It depends on how crowded the Euro Cup and World Cup fields are. 68 points for a 20th place World Cup finish and 75 for a NA Cup win. You need to be at the top of the NA Cup to really cash in I think.

120 is awarded for a NA Cup win.

 

For reference, our 2-man crew qualified for Pyeongchang while counting some 13th places from the NA Cup (60 pts).

Oh, is it different for skeleton then. I was looking at last years results, and win only counted for 75 points.

For those needing to get their bobsleigh fix before the World Cup season gets underway.
