Preliminary Results
Day 1, Saturday, June 30, 2012
The morning started off with sunshine and the day continued with downpours of rain, but nothing the Big Dawg competitors could not handle. Before 10am we already saw a few 39′s run and more throughout the day. 59 year old Kris LaPoint got a lot of cheers from the fans as he pumped out his first 39 off. Some of the stats for the day were:
- 39′ off was run 13 times by 10 different skiers
- Head to Head seeds 1-8 were all broken based upon tiebreaks, with skiers needing 1 @ 41′ off or better to make seeds 1-8
- 5 of the 8 head to head seeds 9-16 were determined by tiebreaks, with a 5-way run-off for the final three spots.
- Full field of 50 skiers participating at the qualifer.
There was a run-off for three places that were remaining for 14, 15 and 16th place. Bruce Dodd, Tim Huston, Mike Dehlinger, Jeff Kepchia and Joe McCreary went to battle for the last three spots. Kepchia, Huston, and Dehlinger won the crown. But the most spectacular event and the fall of the day was Jeff Kepchia’s turn out of 3 ball and the apparent lean lock that sent him up on the shore resulting in a ripped vest and bib. We are glad he is ok and will be ready to compete on Sunday. Check out a few videos from the day YouTube
There will be a 10:00am start on Sunday for the head to head.
Here are the pairings for the Sweet 16 and final scores
