The ability to measure one competitor's performance against another is the heart of competitive athletics. In a country as large as the USA, it's important to have measurement tools to evaluate the performance of skiers around the nation. Performance of U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes is evaluated through various points lists. Athletes competing in scored competitions earn points, which are calculated mathematically to allow ranking lists to be developed. Ranking lists, in turn, are used by U.S.

The Rankings Viewer allows competitors to be ranked against each other with constraints applied, i.e. division or year of birth.  When using this tool, it is important that the Show Top number is set higher than the overall rank of the athlete of interest.

For Alpine, Cross Country, Freestyle, and Snowboard national rankings, using the Rankings Tool
