Throughout 2023, we have examined ways to develop a sustainable and standards-based approach to the Moguls Events. It is our intention to trial a new approach at Regional (only) Mogul Events in 2024, with a commitment to evaluate this new direction at the end of season 2024, in collaboration with our school coordinators.

Our central objective is to focus on the delivery of a quality and sustainable State and National Mogul event experience, with the Regional Mogul events to focus on identifying those individual competitors with the appropriate skill-set necessary to progress to the State level Mogul events.

Further information about this new approach was provided to our community late last year.

The NTH Interschools Committee has now finalised the event structure, entry process, and participant progression of our 2024 NTH Interschools Mogul Events. The 2024 Rules of Competition will be updated and available in May.

Please find following an overview of the 2024 NTH Interschools Mogul Events to assist with event entry planning, accommodation, and school logistics details.

Regional Moguls Qualifier Events

The purpose of the Mogul Qualifier events is to:

• Ensure participants have the appropriate skill-set necessary to progress to the State level Mogul events
• Provide a safe, inclusive and fun event environment in which new and previous participants can try moguls without additional pressure
• To develop a sustainable and standards-based approach to the moguls events
• To make a fair and equitable event for those participating in the moguls qualifier and for those who have received a direct invite to the 2024 NTH State Moguls Competition.

Entry Process

For NSW schools, the top 20 individuals from the 2023 NTH State Moguls Competition receive an invite to the 2024 NTH State Moguls Competition. For ACT and QLD schools, individuals who received an invite to the 2023 National Moguls Competition also receive an invite to the 2024 NTH State Moguls Competition.

These competitors will be considered as meeting the minimum competition standard, and as such they are not required, nor permitted to compete at the 2024 NTH Regional Mogul Qualifier Events. You can view the invites here:

Entries

Entries will be through the Interschools Online Entry System when Regional Championships entries open May 13.

The entry fee will be confirmed in the next update but will be lower than the Interschools entry fees for Regionals. 

Event Format

Participants will receive training runs of the course as well as two scored runs, as per all usual Interschools Moguls events.

No medals will be awarded at these qualifier events.

NSW/ACT/QLD State Interschools Championships

Qualification to the State Championships

For 2024 NTH Mogul Qualifier Event series mogul competitors, participants who place within the top 10 individuals and who reach a minimum acceptable score (for Championship progression) will be invited through to the 2024 NTH State Moguls Competition.

The minimum acceptable score will be determined by the Interschools Committee following completion of each event, and before invitations are extended to the next level of competition. The minimum progression score determined reflects the level of the Championships the division level, the course conditions, and the quality of the competitor field.

Team Formation

Schools can form teams with only the individual competitors who have qualified into the NSW State Interschools Championship. No additional individual competitors will be used to form teams.

Australian Championships

Qualification to the Australian Championships

For mogul competitors qualifying for the 2024 Australian Interschools Snowsports Championships, a minimum acceptable score (for Championship progression) will be determined by the Interschools Committee following completion of each event, and before invitations are extended to the next level of competition. Historically this has been a score which is a minimum 40% of the total attainable score (24/60) and is often as high as 50% of the total attainable score (30/60). The minimum progression score determined reflects the level of the Championships (Regional or State), the division level, the course conditions, and the quality of the competitor field. Mogul Team members (all individual members) progressing through to the next level of competition must meet the minimum standard.

Team Formation

The National Interschools Committee will review and determine the Mogul Teams Formation process for the September Australian Interschools Championships at their early May National Meeting. This will be communicated to Schools and School Coordinators prior to the commencement of the 2024 winter snowsports season.
