First half of qualifiers done. Second half about to begin. Works like this:

Take FIS list, even numbers makeup first 20 riders in olympics, odd numbers make up second 20. First 20 take 2 runs, top 3 advance to finals, 4-9 advance to semis. Same happens for the second 20.

Finals start around 7:15 pacific, so 10:15 EST for those of you who cant do math. Oh, and before anyone says shit like "lol straight airs, snowboarders suck", the judges are looking for straight airs to show variety in runs (air to fakie counts as straight air).

Good day all

A straight air is required in the run.

Anyone know when this is actually airing on NBC? (I'm on Pacific time) ..not that it really matters because their coverage is such a scattered junkshow.

What I watched was retarded. 60% of riders fell on their runs. The only sick part was the crazy Japanese dude who boosted far as fuck outa the pipe.
