You should have received an email inviting you to join the league - I think you have to 'activate' it
Just need @Kooky to 'activate' her email and we are a full team of 10 and ready for the 1st race at Soelden on 22nd October

@hawkwind, thanks, thats a bummer, looks like I won't be playing this season then.

@hawkwind, @Kooky, if you upgrade to the latest version of Chrome (53 I think), it seems to work.

Very pleased with my picking 😀
Unlucky with the men's as I changed it late Saturday or I might of got a top 20 global.
Really adds to the enjoyment of watching it although I can't "cast" eurosport to the TV anymore?

Technology failure on the men's race for me! I think I forgot to save the pick somehow- anyway we are off and running. Interesting that Lindsay Vonn won't be around for a while- hope the season isn't marred by injury again like last year.
Good to see Marcel starting on form and Shiffrin back again.

Technology failure on the FSR website too. It's showing the scores from the first run today only.
Lots of DNFs and a notable DNS. But a great result from Dave Ryding.

The scores were updated later last night when I checked. Awesome stuff from Dave Ryding.

The webcams at Lake Louise are showing no snow at all! Anyone know what the plan is?

@lynnecha, Lake Louise, Killington and Beaver Creek are all currently in jeopardy due to lack of snow.

Scores for Sue's Hopefuls after Levi
The overall scores are calculated by adding the scores for the first four races and dividing by 4 but due to the technical issues mentioned earlier Kooky and Lynnecha have only put in 3 race scores but they are still divided by 4 which skews their overall averages.
This will even itself out once 5 races have been included because the overall scores are based on the average of the best 5 race scores
Hawkwind - 317.33 - 107th
Dr Che - Almost Paraguayan -317.00 - 110th
Briand6868 - 307.17 - 183rd
Queen Bodecia - queenie - 288.75 - 369th
Davkt - Goingbackwards - 283.75 - 428th
Codyaitch - 282.17 - 444th
EarthWindandWater - Danny Simpspn - 274.67 - 524th
FastCarver74 - 258.67 - 673rd
Kooky - Elanski - 243.67 - 742nd
Lynnecha - 214.33 - 817th

FYI - I was too late to join the league but have been having a go... Is there a way to follow the snowhead team through the app?

Thanks @codyaitch, well done everyone!

Mens races at Lake Louise have been cancelled due to lack of snow.
Killington snow control is on Friday. They are desperately trying to prepare the course with artificial snow.

I believe team numbers are limited to 10 so I cant put you in as a late addition
I am not sure whether you can follow individuals if you are not in the team
Try clicking on the 'social' tab and search for the Snowhead team Members under 'following' - it might work

Bad news. I just saw Fritz Dopfers season has already ended, he suffered an shin and calf bone fracture in a trainings accident at Zillertal:(
Looks like he will be out at least 6 months.

@codyaitch, Thanks - I'll see what I can manage. The social bit of the app doesn't seem that user friendly compared to the other bits.
EDIT: Actually, it was quite easy to follow each person individually - I was just failing to find the team to follow.

The system scores for this week are all over the place and just wrong - I will put up the correct scores later
EDIT : I have completely lost the plot on how the scores are calculated
For the past few years it has been the average of the best 5 scores - so far I haven't a clue and I can't find a contact email address to ask.
I will let it run for awhile in the hope the system scores will be corrected.

Eurosport is a pile of poo. I set it to record the skiing at the weekend and I got snooker and tennis.

@queen bodecia, Indeed! Slightly less accurate than a student run radio station.

Anyone got a definitive guide to what Eurosport are showing and when this weekend? Even their website seems somewhat unsure!
|
|
|
|
|

@ajpaul, it didn't work at all last weekend. From what I can tell nothing was live as it was all usurped by snooker and tennis. But I did manage to catch the highlights from Killington.
This weekend VDI purports to be live, but Lake Louise is anyone's guess.

At the moment, LL is showing as being 'live' at 11 pm our time on Saturday, but that would be about 4pm local time!

UPDATE - edited to correct the scores
The scores for last weekend are now on the FSR site and it appears that they have changed the calculation from the average of the best 5 scores to the average of the best 3 scores - I can't say I understand the logic !
I have added the lowest (LS) of the best 3 scores for everyone which you need to improve on to increase the overall average
Cracking start for queenie - 4th overall on the FSR list
Queen Bodecia - queenie - 424.83 - 4th overall - LS 413,00
Kooky - Elanski - 389.00 - 116th - LS 353.00
Hawkwind - 384.00 - 201st - LS 345.00
Dr Che - Almost Paraguayan -371,33 - 445th - LS 365.00
Briand6868 - 366.33 - 546th - LS 358.00
EarthWindandWater - Danny Simpspn - 361.00 - 662nd - LS 352.00
Lynnecha - 342.00 - 905th - LS 312.00
FastCarver74 - 334.33 - 961st - 311.00
Davkt - Goingbackwards - 332.67 - 976th - LS 292.00
Codyaitch - 303.83 - 1133rd - LS 298.00
