Federations should submit the skier's two best performances in the year preceding the tournament from Federation certified L or R (or US "E") certified tournaments. Individual entries must be received 30 days before the start of the tournament. At that point the official list of Individual entries will be publicized. The submitted performances must have been performed in the one year period between September 19, 2005 and September 18, 2006. The performances also must have been done within the divisional rule technical conditions as stated in the 2006 edition of the IWSF Rules.
