National Card

Membership Renewal

All athletes on national points database aged 11-19 (prior to December 31st of current year) must purchase a Canadian competitor card, and be registered with Alpine Canada Alpin (ACA).

Clubs should receive blank forms from their province. They are to be signed and updated, and returned to the Provincial Sport Organization (PSO), who must enter the information in the Racer Registration Data base and send it to Alpine Canada Alpin Manger, National Services and Dick Beare ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Updates to the database not sent to ACA and Dick Beare by December 1st will be treated as non-renewals and their numbers will become inactive until such time that a signed form is received by the province and database updates made. Lists of active athletes will be published every two weeks at a web site to be named. The current National Competitor Card fee is $50 for all athletes.

National Points

The NATIONAL points lists form the basis for the division of the competitors according to points. The corresponding commentary is part of these competition rules and will be renewed annually.

The NATIONAL points are used particularly for :

• Establishing the quotas at competitions.
• As a basis for the grouping and draw of the competitors at races and in training.
• Establishing the race penalty (in connection with the race points).
• Establishing the penalties for injury status and because of professional obligations etc.
• Establishing the qualifications for the existing competition categories

National Points List Publications

The fall points list is valid and available for consultation and download at www.acapoints.ca

Starting December 1st, there will be a new point list calculated and posted every week. Each new list will be updated and valid on every Wednesday.
