Example
At the Regional
Pacesetting Trials, Jim Smith earned a 6 handicap (he raced 6 percent
slower than the NASTAR National Pacesetter or "0"). At Wild Mountain,
Smith records a time of 19.99 seconds on the Blue course on Wednesday
night. We divide his time (19.99) by his handicap (1.06) to establish
a par time of 18.86 seconds. Your time in the blue course is 22.73
seconds. We divide your time (22.73) by the par time (18.86) to get
your handicap of 20.52. You skied 20.52% slower than the NASTAR National Pacesetter. We check the handicap in the scoring chart
for your age (e.g., 33) and gender (e.g., Male) and discover you
earned a silver medal, just missing a gold.
