First Class Badge            35s. 
Second Class Badge            3s. 
Third Class Badge             2s.

4.  In Switzerland francs will be accepted instead of shillings in payment of badges.

5.  Certificates and badges will be awarded to any person who has passed the Cross Country Ski-ing Tests:  First Class, a gold badge; Second Class, a silver badge; Third Class, a bronze badge.  Certificates will be issued to those who have passed the corresponding Jumping Tests, and these certificates will entitle the holder to receive a Jumping badge when the Council authorizes the issue of new badges.

6.  Application for the badges, accompanied by a certificate signed by two judges, shall be made either to the local representative of the Club or to the Hon. Secretary of the Council, K.R.  Swan, Esq., 1 Essex Court, Temple, within three months of the passing of the Test.

7.  Certificate holders will alone be recognized as having passed the tests. No certificate will be recognized as valid unless issued to a member of one of the constituent clubs of the Council.  A list of those certified as having passed any of the tests will be issued periodically by the Council.

8. Judges.—­No candidate can be judged for any test nor for any part of a test unless two qualified Judges are present.  No candidate can be passed for any part of a test except by being judged formally and knowing that he is being judged.

9.  The Judges are appointed by the Council; the appointment is for the season only.  Judges and Emergency Judges must be of British nationality.

10.  The Council also appoints an emergency committee, any one of whom shall have the power to appoint temporary judges for the season only, to act with a Judge elected by the Council.  Such temporary judges shall only be qualified to judge such tests as they have themselves passed.  The appointment of an Emergency Judge will not be recognized by the Council unless the appointment is notified to the Secretary of the Council.

CROSS COUNTRY SKI-ING TESTS.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO JUDGES.

The following definitions may be taken as applying to the three tests: 

Stemming Turns.—­For the purpose of these Tests, Judges must insist that candidates shall adopt that type of stemming turn known as the “lifted stemming turn,” that is to say, the stemming turn which is finished by lifting round the inside ski.

Telemarks.—­In the Telemark the back ski should drop behind, and the bend of the back ski should not be ahead of the ankle of the leading foot and should not be allowed to come forward till the turn is completed.  Candidates who start the turn with a mixture of ordinary stemming should not be passed.

Christianias.—­The Christiania may be done either by separating the points of the ski and completed by bringing them parallel—­the so-called “open Christiania”; or by keeping the ski parallel throughout and jerking them round, the “jerked Christiania”; or by a very slight stem, the ski being immediately brought parallel after the turn has started, the so-called “Closed or Stem Christiania.”
