WSF Competitive Guidelines 2025-26

The WSF Competitive Guidelines 2025–26 replace the former International Youth Competitive Guidelines 2024–25, expanding their scope beyond youth events to encompass all levels of competitive snowboarding.

These guidelines serve as a comprehensive resource for National Snowboard Associations (NSAs) and event organizers committed to developing and managing snowboard competitions worldwide. The document provides detailed direction on the athlete pathway, event pipeline, competition management systems, and the global event calendar. It also includes information on the World Rookie Rank, event execution standards, and education programs for officials.

Designed to promote excellence across all tiers of the sport, the WSF Competitive Guidelines outline best practices and key initiatives that support athlete development and ensure the consistent and sustainable growth of snowboarding globally.
