Scoring Algorithm
The Moguls National Ranking List (MNRL) determines qualification for Junior Nationals and Nationals. Rankings are based on Freestyle Points (FSP) earned at divisional and national-level competitions throughout the season.
At each qualifying event (excluding divisional championships), podium placements receive fixed national point values:
For athletes finishing after 3rd place, points are calculated relative to the 3rd-place score:
An athlete's MNRL ranking is determined by their best combined point totals across moguls and dual moguls events during the season. The MNRL is published in multiple lists as new competition results are incorporated.
Duals competitions also use fixed podium point values for the top three finishers, with the same FSP formula applied to remaining athletes.
The Five Divisions
US Ski & Snowboard organizes mogul skiing into five geographic divisions. Athletes primarily compete in events within their home division, and the majority of an athlete's MNRL points are earned at divisional competitions.
Divisions vary in the number of competing athletes and the number of events held each season. National-level events such as Selections and Junior Nationals bring athletes from all divisions together to compete head-to-head.
