The Final JWOC Rankings for the 2013 Selection Period are now available here:
http://junior-rankings.org/**
2013 JWOC Selection Criteria
As in past years, selection of the team to represent the USA at the 2013 Junior World Orienteering Championships in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic (JWOC2013 website) will be based upon F-20 (Green) and M-20 (Red) rankings for a 12-month Selection Period. The 2013 Selection Period included all Orienteering USA-sanctioned A-event races between April 8, 2012, and April 7, 2013.
In order to be automatically considered for the 2013 JWOC Team, a ranking score of at least 75 points, based on at least four A-event races during the Selection Period, will be required.
Those who wish to be considered for the 2013 JWOC Team, but who do not meet the 75 point minimum, do not have 4 or more races, and/or believe that their ranking score does not accurately reflect their qualifications, are encouraged to petition the Selections Committee for an exception. In your petition, please include the following:
1. Explanation of why you would like to compete in JWOC this year.
2. Evidence of past results and current training that demonstrate you are prepared to be on the US JWOC Team.
3. Description of how you will train, leading up to JWOC, so that you are as prepared as possible.
You are encouraged to submit your petition as soon as possible. No petitions, however, will be accepted after 11:59pm, Pacific Daylight Time, Saturday, April 13. Petitions may be submitted to one of the Selections Committee members: Erin Schirm (emschirm AT syr.edu), Barb Bryant (junior_admin AT orienteeringusa.org) or Amy WIlliams (amy.jones.williams AT hotmail.com); or to JTESC Chair, Guy Olsen (GuyPOlsen AT aol.com).
Good luck to all aspiring 2013 JWOC Team members!
Guy Olsen
Chair, Junior Team Executive Steering Committee (JTESC)
** - In reviewing these Final JWOC Rankings, please keep in mind that athletes with high scores, but fewer than 4 races, will be listed below those with 4 or more races. While not in the "ranked" section, they should still be considered serious contenders, who may seek 2013 JWOC Team selection by petition.
