Each year, the USASA (United States of America Snowboard Association) holds regional competition around the country. Regional competitors compete for POINTS in 5 disciplines. At the end of the season, the points are added up and each region crowns their REGIONAL CHAMPION. (there is one Regional Champion for each discipline and in each individual bracket.) Bracket’s are by age and gender.
Each Regional Champion earns a spot to compete at the USASA National Championships which is hosted each year at Copper Mountain in Colorado.
