It is a pleasure to announce the 2018 Canadian Masters’ Alpine Team (CMAT).

The criteria for qualifying for CMAT are:

• Minimum of 5 starts in any races scheduled on the 2016/17 Masters’ National Calendar for which World Cup points are awarded – see http://acamastersmail.com/docs/2016-17/Natl_Cal.pdf .
• Minimum of 2 starts at any of the events listed on the National Calendar outside one's home region.
• Must have a National or FIS Master’s card (weekend competitor cards do not qualify).
• Must be a Canadian citizen.
• Winners are those with the highest total score of the racers' 7 best results (minimum 5); 2 from each gender and age category i.e. 1 from the East and 1 from the West. In the event of a tie, both racers are selected.

These criteria are designed to promote:

-    Participation, both within and outside of each racer’s home region.
-    Performance once these criteria have been met.
