Association of Ontario Snowboarders Competitive Series – Point Calculation
Riders who compete in the AOS’ Competitive Series will be eligible to accumulate points. The purpose of the points is to rank riders in Ontario and will be used:
- As one of the criteria for determining eligibility for events with limited enrolment (e.g. Nationals, Ontario Winter Games), and
- To determine the overall AOS ranking.
Points awarded for AOS sanctioned events are referred to as AOS points.

Accumulation of Points and Ranking
All riders shall start each season with zero AOS points.
Each rider’s total AOS points will be the sum of all points received at each event within each discipline during the current season. Each rider’s total AOS points will be the sum of all points received at each event within each age category during the current season. AOS points for different disciplines are not added together, but are maintained separately for each discipline.
Quality of competitions may be considered by the evaluations to the extent they may distort recorded results and development plans.
AOS rankings at any given time will be determined by the total points awarded for the events to that date. The rankings will be based on descending order of points (i.e. highest to lowest).
An Ontario Competitive Points Series Champion will be chosen based on the total number of AOS points accumulated over the season. One Male and Female rider in each discipline will be awarded a trophy.
