Park & Pipe World Cup Quota Ranking List

Updated 16th October 2026

The purpose of the selection and ranking process is to provide clarity and transparency around athlete eligibility for different levels of Park & Pipe competition. This framework outlines the criteria used to determine athlete eligibility and establishes the ranking system applied when entry quotas are limited. By setting out clear guidelines and applying the selection criteria, Snow Australia aims to ensure that all athletes, coaches, and community members understand how selections are made and how rankings are applied in a fair and consistent manner.

FIS World Cup Park & Pipe competitions have a limited number of quota spots available for foreign competitors. Each nation has a quota allocation for each event category which they can apply as required.

The Snow Australia National Park & Pipe Committee have implemented an Event/Quota Ranking List to accompany the Park & Pipe Selection Criteria to ensure that athletes are ranked and entered in events correctly and that Australian entries remain within quota.

The committee was established in line with the NDC Terms of Reference and the Athlete Selection and Appeals Process Guide.

The eligibility list will be updated throughout the season in line with the release of the FIS Park & Pipe Points List. 

If athletes do not meet minimum Snow Australia AND FIS World Cup entry criteria 60 days prior to event (FIS preliminary entry deadline), they will not be eligible to participate in the proposed World Cup. If athletes become eligible within the 60-day period, they will remain excluded from the upcoming World Cup event. 

If applicable, the Top 6 ranked Park & Pipe athletes are included in the below lists per event.

Notes

• As per Item 4.1.3 of the Park & Pipe Selection Criteria, OWIA and NSWIS are afforded priority selections.
• The Criteria Level/Tier column references the Park & Pipe Selection Criteria. Each Level of the criteria includes a subset of Tiers to rank athletes. For example '2.3' means Level 2, Tier 3 in Appendix B of the Park & Pipe Selection Criteria.
• Athletes are ranked by Level and Tier from 2.1 to 2.5. If athletes sit within the same Tier, they will be ordered in most to least FIS Points.
