All sleds must pass an inspection before they are allowed on the hill.
Sleds must be free of sharp edges, pointy objects or any other feature that may be deemed

all the people watching.
Participation
All participants must read, understand, and agree to the rules before registering their sled.
Teams/individuals whose sleds do not pass inspection will not be allowed to participate.
We encourage the use of protective headgear, but is not required.
No more than ten occupants will be permitted on any one sled.
To qualify as a finisher, your/entire team must be in or on your sled as it crosses the finish line,
rather than chasing it or being chased by it.
The top finishers in each heat may be allowed to race more than once, depending on the
condition of their sled and the decision by the judges.
Grudge Matches
If you wish to race against another sledding team, this will be accomplished following the conclusion
of all scheduled heat races. Talk with officials at the Registration Desk
