First 10 athletes announced.

Jon Olsson (I might race now, but I will be ready to try to kill myself in april… )
Bobby Brown
Russ Henshaw
Elias Ambuhl
Andreas Håtweit
PK Hunder
Henrik Harlaut
Tom Wallisch
Sammy Carlsson
Jossi Wells
Alex Schlopy

The other 5 pros being announced one a week for the next 5 weeks.

New for this year is the invite system, 15 riders will be invited and another 15 spots will be open for video qualification. We’ve always wanted to give the up-and-coming a chance at JOI, so by having half the spots open for qualification we hope to change things up a little.

Qualification:
- 30 skiers take 2 runs, best one counts. 10 skiers move on (+ 2 wild cards).

Final:
- 12 skiers take one run, top 10 advance.
- 10 skiers take one run, top 8 advance.
- 8 skiers take one run, top 6 advance.
- 6 skiers take one run, top 4 advance.
- 4 skiers take two runs, best one counts.

No Dumont as he probably has a conflict with the Dumont Cup.

No Tanner Hall?

Uh, Dumont absolutely is one of the best skiers alive, if you need an explanation for his not being invited look back at the drama that arose after JOSS last year when Team America posted their video before Jon released it and threw a bitch fit about low scores

there's so many skiers that are way better than casabon at big air. Don't get me wrong, b-dog has great style and is definitely one of my favorite skiers to watch but until he starts doing doubles there's no way he'd even be competitive in a big air comp

I feel like this formatted is out dated and will not really help push the limits.
As much as I hate to say it, X Games has the best big air format (not including judging)
