The Fischer Cup is a six race series that offers a $300 CASH prize for the 'Fastest' man and woman in the division, a pair of SWIX TEAM poles for second and SWIX CERA-F wax for third. There are no age classes. The first man and women in each race get 30 points, second gets 29 down to 1 point for 30th place. (Exceptions made for Great Ski Race and Gold Rush). Points are scored allowing racers to "drop" one of the first 5 races (the Gold Rush points are not "droppable").
