XC-results.com is developed and operated by Johan Nyman:
"I thought that it was really crappy that there wasn’t a proper results service for crosscountry skiing, so in the spring of 2009 I decided to take matters in my own hands and I started working on what was later to become XC-results.com"

Official results

Ranking points
Your total ranking points is the average of your 4 best points on races the last 4 years. The value of points older than 1 year decay with a factor of 0.9 each year. A 3 years old result witch then was worth 90p is today only worth 90*0.9^3 = 65p. The ranking points are updated weekly.
Your total ranking points are recalculated weekly the night between tuesday and wednesday.
You are given a ranking when you have participated in at least 4 races the last 4 years.
Classes up to age 16 are not given ranking points.
Classes up to age 16 are not given ranking points.
For the results to be qualfied for ranking points, the race has to satisfy some requirements:
- The result list must contain times and distances
- Some kind of races are not given any ranking points, sprint races, skicross and relays among others
- If the times are unfair due to snow and weather conditions the results may not be qualified
The ranking system is under development and there are some situations when the system can give unfairly high/low points. Contact us and tell us about the problem and we will look closer at it!
It is probably due to an error in the result list or a foible in the ranking system, contact us and tell us about the problem and we will look closer at it!
