1. Introduction

As the international organisation responsible for the promotion and development of Freestyle Skiing, Freeskiing and Snowboarding, FIS is constantly looking to find new ways of increasing interest in all of the FIS disciplines. The starting point in this endeavour is to ensure that the events are TV produced at the highest level and this Cross Manual offers specific guidelines for Host Broadcasters to ensure the delivery of consistent standards of television production throughout the calendar season. The Cross Manual integrates the general FIS Broadcasters' Manual available at the following link: https://assets.fis-ski.com/image/upload/v1539259548/fis-prod/Broadcasters_manual_-_general_part.pdf

During the course of the winter season, the most important series of international competitions are established in the FIS World Cup Calendar for the events of Freestyle Skiing, Freeski and Snowboard. All the detailed information regarding the FIS Freestyle Skiing, Freeski and Snowboard World Cup and World Championships events are contained in the following document: International Snowboard / Freestyle Ski / Freeski Competition Rules (ICR): https://assets.fis-ski.com/image/upload/v1565071387/fis-prod/assets/SBFSFK_ICR.pdf

2. Events

In Cross there are 2 distinct events. Ski Cross (SX) and Snowboard Cross (SBX) / SBX Team Mixed.

3. Start Intervals and TV Ready procedure

The maximum interval time between runs varies according to the events. Typically, 180 – 360 seconds are planned between the current competitors while the next competitor prepares for his/her run. This allows for replays of the last performance and the reaction from the competitor when they are given their results. The start intervals shall be determined with the FIS Race Director during the initial site survey, particularly as this will affect the choice of camera positions. Other factors will influence this decision, such as the presence of sponsors and advertising as well as TV production values such as replays and highlights. Direct communication is established between the FIS Race Director and the TV Director. The FIS Race Director will inform the HB about any delays, injury status of competitors and course holds for repairs and other incidents that may prevent the competition from moving forward according to the rundown sheet. Due to the nature of the sport, and in consideration with the start intervals, the "TV Ready" procedure has been implemented. The start of the next athlete can be given only after TV has finished all the planned replays/highlights of the last performance. Thus, HB (TV Director or its designee) has to communicate "TV Ready" command to the FIS Race Director to continue the race.

Table of Start Interval Times for the CROSS Events

SX 160 to 200 seconds 180 to 360 seconds

SBX 160 to 200 seconds 180 to 360 seconds

4. Competition Breaks

Natural competition breaks are part of the running of the competition or are caused by internal or external circumstances beyond the control of the operation of the competition.

Turn-around time The turn-around time is, the total time it takes to start and complete a run and arrive back to the start area. This includes, the time of the run, the time it takes from the finish area to the ski lift, the lift time and the time it takes from the end of lift station to return to the start. Also, there is the turn-around time on lift system within the final phase of the head to head competitions. The competitors cannot just arrive back to the start and then prepare to leave again. Sometimes they need to change equipment and get instructions from the coaches. The natural breaks occur towards the end of the competition, and after the semi-final, when the last qualified competitors start directly in the next heat. Weather delays or course holds

Weather delays occur during the competition, due to snow fall, wind, fog/clouds or flat light. In these cases, the competition sequence will be stopped and will be then continued when the conditions permit.

Crashes and Injuries

Crashes and injuries do occur and sometimes it takes time to determine the nature of the injury and then prepare the predefined evacuation of the competitor from the course. On some occasions, the course safety material needs to be fixed.

Course maintenance and Repair

On-going maintenance of the course line, jumps or gates is needed at times, based upon the circumstances. Short delays can occur as a natural part of organizing the competition. Jury Decisions

The competition jury, which controls the rules and operation of the competition, needs to make decisions about the running of the competition and the status of the results and the ranking of the competitors. Short breaks can be expected in the operation of the competition.

Re-runs

No re-runs will be conducted in Cross in cases of intentional contact(s). Re-runs will only be considered by the Jury in the case of force majeure or if the competitor(s) were interfered by other persons or circumstances outside of that presented by fellow competitors in that heat. A rerun may only be considered if the interfered competitor potentially would still have had the chance to advance. The number of starters for the rerun depends on the race situation when the interference occurred. If a competitor misses a gate due to interference and clearly does not gain any advantage this action may not be considered as a “did not finish” (ICR art 5612.1).

If there is a failure of all of the timing systems, a re-run shall be granted (ICR art 5612.1.1).

5. Specific elements of TV Coverage

5.1 Starting Area / Competitors Lounge The start area is divided into several functional areas with access control limiting the number of people in the specific zones. Interesting interactions, preparation of competition equipment and the warm-up procedures of the competitors can be seen in the pre-start area. In the start area, there will be interaction with coaches and competitors, up to a certain point, then the placing of the skiers/snowboarders into the start gate by the start officials. This is followed by the start sequence. As there is a screen at the start where coaches and competitors can gather around and view the runs of their fellow competitors and react to such images and runs.

5.2 On Course The competitor(s) must be covered during the full performance from the start of the course to the finish. At times, the competitors cannot complete their run and they are required to stop and exit the course, where possible.

5.3 Finish Line As the competitor(s) enters the finish area, there can be lot of emotional content both with the competitor(s) that have finished the run and also from the other competitors waiting to see if they have been beaten or have maintained their ranking.

5.4 Line Up

During the final phase, the top 3 ranked competitors are lined up, with 3rd ranked

competitor closest to the exit gate. As the next skier/snowboarder enters the finish area they are lined up near the other competitors, and then they await the confirmation and ranking for the performance. During this time, the replay of the run is shown.

5.5 Reaction The timing of the presentation of the result is coordinated between the TV graphics, scoreboard and the announcer. There will be a reaction of the competitors to their performance and ranking. The other competitors congratulate them (perhaps) and as the ranking of the competitors change the competitor(s), line-up changes and some then leaves the finish area.

6. TV PRODUCTION - Special requirements and procedures

6.1 International Feed & Knowledge of the Sport Host Broadcaster (HB) is invited to develop suitable production ideas that best illustrate the competition dynamics, capture the athletes' experience and offer performance comparisons in a way that will inform and appeal to both fans and new audiences. A key principle for the TV Directors is to remember they are providing multilateral feed coverage and this should be unbiased in order to satisfy the international viewing audience. Coverage should be impartial, with equal emphasis on all participants, including replays of their reactions. Live action should always be a priority, and quite often, the best approach is to 'keep things simple'. At the same time, on of the most important assets of the designated TV Director and TV Producer will normally be considerable knowledge of the sport. This knowledge will significantly contribute to how the excitement of the competition can be captured, showing all the important parts of the venue and the development of the competition. The HB Producer and Director are expected to study the form and performance of the athletes participating in the competition. Familiarity not only with the subject, but also with the season performance is imperative to fully understand and exploit the strengths and weaknesses of athletes in the coverage plan.

6.2 Production Plan The preparation and delivery of the production plan must be regarded as the most demanding of challenges, but equally the HB must also provide support services to unilateral broadcasters, TV Compound logistics, cabling, broadcast management and technical assistance. The HB will be responsible for the supply and installation of the necessary cables to interface with FIS' data and timing service partner and will assist with this task, providing that the distances are reasonable and within the confines of the TV compound. The site survey will seek a suitable and convenient position for the Data and Timing Partner's technical facilities. HB is expected to design a suitable production plan in advance of each competition to fully prepare its broadcast installation. The schedule should consider the possibility of conducting a full technical and production rehearsal (with timing and a podium presentation) at least one day before the actual competition. The organisation of the technical and production rehearsal will be carefully planned with the Organising Committee. The following mandatory indications have to be taken into consideration:

For Ski and Snowboard Cross an adequate cameras set up must be in place for Qualifications already (video control).

Finals - Day 1 Complete Race 1

Event program needs to be always carefully checked in order to prepare the TV production plan. The Qualifications can be scheduled either 1 day or 2 days before the Finals.

6.3 Ski/Snowboard Cross Video Control The Jury must have the possibility for a technical video review of the entire Qualifications and Finals. Therefore, aside from the Finals, an adequate camera set up is required also for Qualifications. For Ski Cross and Snowboard Cross a separate EVS (electronic video server) for the official FIS Video Controller is required, in order to be able to review independently any race scene in slow motion (ideally from different camera angles). The position for the Video Control as well as the communication either by radio or intercom will be established prior to the first Qualification phase.

The above mentioned requirements are mandatory.

6.5 Additional Feeds Some or additional feeds may go through dedicated replay machines and will be confirmed by the FIS Race Director during inspections. Technical needs will be forwarded to the HB once available. Additional feeds should be foreseen for VIP area and Giant screens (if applicable).

6.6 Copy of the competition

A copy of the competition should be foreseen by the HB and be available for Teams, Judges and/or for Jury purposes. Right after the end of each Competition, a copy should be delivered to the Team Captain of the team hosting such a Competition. A copy for Jury purposes should be provided upon request and delivered to one of the Jury members.

6.7 Drones Usage Policy Unmanned and anchorless aerial vehicles (UAV) such as Drones or Quadcopters etc. are strictly prohibited over the competition Course area during inspection, training or competition, unless approved by the Jury and the organizer in writing subject to any prohibitions imposed by local laws or the property owners.
