Alpine Far East Cup
The Alpine Far East Cup is an international racing series in alpine skiing organized by the FIS , which has been held in East Asia during the winter half of the northern hemisphere since the 1994/95 season .
General
In addition to other Continental Cups, the Far East Cup is primarily held for the East Asian countries China , India , Iran , Japan , Kazakhstan , South Korea , North Korea , Mongolia , Chinese Taipei and Uzbekistan , but athletes from the stronger skiing countries of Europe also take part . In fact, mainly Japan and South Korea actually take over the complete organization. Most of the competitions take place in Japan. Only a few are held in South Korea. Unless top European athletes take part in the competitions - they sometimes use them for training - the Japanese athletes dominate the women's competitions and win around 95% of all races. In the men's home competition, South Koreans can often also prevail. Japan, South Korea and China each have 30 starting places per competition, all other member countries of the Asian Ski Federation can register up to 10 starters. The host nation can register up to 50 starters. Guest starters from other regions of the world must be placed in the FIS top 1000 of the FIS points list.
In contrast to the World Cup, all races take place in East Asia. Otherwise, the event and scoring takes place according to the valid FIS rules for alpine skiing, including the award of points based on the FIS point system . The racers can collect points in five different disciplines ( downhill , slalom , giant slalom , super G and super combination ). Winners will be determined in the overall ranking and in the discipline ratings.
