Competition Format:
The judging panel for this year's Dumont Cup is made up of prominent athletes who have retired from their professional careers as athletes and are now professional Judges for the biggest free skiing events around the globe. The judging panel is made up of Five Scoring Judges and One Head Judge.
Amateur Jam Session:
On Friday, there will be an AM and a PM session where 20 skiers from each session advance to the semi finals on Saturday morning.
Simon Dumont & his crew of fellow pros will be skiing with the Open Amateur Jam and they will pick 20 to move on based on the overall impression each skier leaves during the Open Jam.
Semi Finals:
40 skiers best of 2 runs, 20 skiers advance to the finals
Finals:
20 qualifying skiers & 20 invited pros skiers
For both the Semi-Finals and the Finals, a panel of six judges will score their overall impression of each run on a scale of 1 to 100 based on four main criteria:
1) Style (smoothness of a run)
2) Difficulty ( how difficult was the trick)
3) Originality (is your own style on the trick)
4) Amplitude (how much air a competitor catches)
Competitors in the final round make 3 runs, using the best of 3 scores as their final score.
Final Results:
The $20,000.00 cash purse will be broken down as follows:
First Place: $12,000.00

ok I just got an E-Mail from the Dumont Cup floks and this was their responce to my asking if there is coverage of the event :
Hello everyone,
Wanted to inform everyone of the latest development and exciting news. Many of you already know, however for the first time the Dumont Cup finals will be live online on Saturday at 1:30pm EST.
It came together very quickly just this week, but we are very excited for this opportunity. Currently the websites of Freeskier.com, Newschoolers.com and the French freeski site Skipass.com will be hosting the web service. We have contracted with Northeast Sports Network (www.nsnsports.net) to produce the program. They are a new group to providing this web service and have been extremely successful in the Northeast producer many of the NCAA hockey games for the colleges in the area and the NCAA ski races.
This is great news and that we will have it rite here on NS, grats to the team at NS for their hard work at giving us great coverage of these events, show your appreciation to the crew here !!! Go NS Go
Yes, all competitions do. Stupid fucks like I'm assuming you are are so retarded. A "stylish" cork 5 will NEVER beat a dub 10. Fucking every single pro skier can do cork 5s, they're just not dumb enough to do them in competitions. Obviously a cleaner better looking dub 10 will beat an ugly dub 10.
