For the men, elimination rounds are made up of semi-finals and finals. For the women, finals only. Immediately after the last timed run ends, the finish-line judge will tabulate results and determine finish order. She will then notify the event coordinator by radio of the names and times of the top 9 men and top 3 women. Racers should stay in the vicinity of the course to learn if they have advanced to the finals.
