The way athletes are seeded onto the HQR does not follow FIS rules.
Seeding is based on a calculation X+Y:
ODD RULE CASE:
e.g. You have 41 athletes registered (N)
the closest bracket size is 32.
  • First, find X = N - 32
  • X = 9
  • Y = 9 +1 (bc next even number makes it easier for heat division)
  • X + Y = 10 + 9 = 19
  • numbers of competitors in HQR = 19 (ODD) so = 19 + 1 = 20
EVEN RULE CASE:
e.g. You have 42 athletes registered (N)
the closest bracket size is 32.
  • First, find X = N - 32
  • X = 10
  • X = even
  • so Y = X
  • X + Y = 10 + 10 = 20
  • numbers of competitors in HQR = 20
X+Y then determines seeding accordingly:
The first half of (Y) is sorted on the red bib position beginning with heat 1.
The second half of (Y) is sorted on the green bib position beginning with the highest
heat number.
Then the first half of (X) is sorted on the blue bib position beginning with heat 1.
The second half of (X) is sorted on the yellow bib position, beginning with the highest heat number.
