The AFP World Ranking is an unparalleled asset to the freeskiing world, offering true and accurate worldwide ranking in haflpipe, slopestyle, big air and overall disciplines. Currently the AFP World Tour Calendar boasts 96 sanctioned competitions at 60+ locations globally and ranks freeskiing competitors of all ages and ability levels.

Beginning February 26th, 2012, only the names and rankings of active AFP Members will display publicly on the AFP World Ranking. Annual AFP Membership is only $35 USD, which goes a long way to ensure that the AFP can continue to provide the valuable services of the AFP World Tour Calendar and the AFP World Ranking to the freeskiing community.

The rankings will remain true and accurate with all competitors maintaining their ranking positions, however the names and ranks of non-members will simply not appear publicly. For example, if a competitor currently ranked 33rd is not an AFP Member, then the 33rd ranked competitor will not display on the ranking, appearing like this – 31, 32, 34, 35.  That competitor maintains his or her position at 33rd but the name, rank and profile of that athlete will only display publicly on the website once he or she becomes an AFP Member.

All competitors are encouraged to visit http://afp.memberpro.net/main/body.cfm to register for membership and continue to see their name and ranking displayed publicly on www.afpworldtour.com, promoting both themselves and their sponsors.  Again, if a competitor does not have an active 2012 AFP Membership by February 26th, his or her name will not display on the AFP World Ranking until they register for 2012 AFP Membership.

For further information or questions feel free to contact the Association of Freeskiing Professionals. The AFP thanks you for your continued support and wishes all competitors the best of luck for the remainder of the season.

@fuzzball You may be uninformed about the relevance of the AFP World Ranking. AFP rankings are used to determine invitations to X Games and many other top-level events, as well as being used to name national teams- most notably USA, Canada and France. Many of the top brands use the rankings when considering sponsorships and even have AFP World Ranking incentives in their athlete contracts.

The AFP is proud to provide these valuable resources to the freeskiing world. The AFP World Ranking is the only one if it's kind, a true universal freeskiing ranking. Being a growing organization, these very reasonable membership fees will allow us to continue the work we do for our sport.

If anyone is complaining, they need to wake up. Just to WORK for a few organizations in the industry, I have to pay an ANNUAL DUE of close to $100 and I work for a few organizations that charge that EVERY YEAR. $35 is nothing and you will be supporting the best organization in skiing, the organization making sure FIS doesn't turn SS and HP into what Moguls and Aerials turned into. If you think you have a genius idea and you could run things better, go enroll in college, get a B.S. in Accounting or Economics and maybe when you're half way through your M.B.A. you'll realize that $35 was a CHEAP and GREAT way to support your local industry. Give something back to skiing before you start expecting free handouts, this industry might not have to rely on gapers to support it if you did...
