Sprint Elimination
Based on the 200m time trial, skaters are seeded into 3- to 5-person heats,
size to be determined at the time of registration. Heats will be run with the
winners advancing to Quarter, Semi, and Final sprint rounds. Non-qualifiers
will compete in a consolation sprint final. Typcial distances are 1000m to
2km.

laps, the first competitor across the finish line will receive points. Points
may remain the same or increase during the course of the race. Placement is

Miss and Out
In this mass-start event, the last skater across the finish line each lap is

After the free lap, the skaters will receive the bell indicating one final lap
to go. They will then sprint to final placing.
Win and Out
