Polardistans 2021 to double as IFSS and WSA Long-distance World Championship 2021
We are pleased to announce that Polardistans, the long-established long-distance race for purebred sled dogs, has joined forces with the IFSS and the WSA. Through this unique partnership Long-Distance World Championship titles will be on offer at Polardistans in both purebred as well as all-breed classes.
Polardistans will take place from 2-6 March 2021 in Särna (Sweden) and will kick off the largest sled dog festival ever celebrated in Europe. From 2-14 March 2021, close to 500 purebred and all-breed sled dog teams are expected to compete for World Championship titles in Skidog, Sled Sprint and Mid-Distance and Skidog and Sled Long-Distance classes at three venues (Särna, Ramundberget and Åsarna) in central Sweden.
At Polardistans, in the 300 km race World Championship titles will be available for purebred teams in 1-4 dog pulka as well as 8- and 12-dog sled classes and for all-breed teams in 8- and 12-dog sled classes. The IFSS long-distance race rules supplemented by a number of Polardistans specific rules apply.
No one can predict what will happen during the next months when it comes to the Covid-19 pandemic. We might face new travel restrictions worldwide and other regulations that will affect how sport events can be organized. Therefore, Polardistans, the WSA and IFSS will make their final decision on whether the 2021 On-Snow World Championships can go ahead by 1 December 2020.

World Cup – new point system
In order to simplify the formula used to calculate the points of each competitor with DID in the World Cup accredited races, the Council has approved a system based on the position of the competitors in the result list instead of the time.
The competitors will easily be able to calculate and control their points using the grid shown in the World Cup Regulations § F. With this new point system the points received during two 1-heat races are equivalent to the points received during a 2-heat race. Consequently the regulation B.4 which prevents for organizing two 1-heat races on two consecutive days is not necessary any more and has been removed.
The complete revised World Cup regulations are available on this website under World Cup Forms and Regulations. In the absence of Continental Dryland Championships this season due to the Covid-19 pandemic and its travel restrictions, the World Cup will be the only IFSS international Dryland competition during the season 2020-2021.
The IFSS Council and the Accreditation Committee recommend that the Member Federations request the accreditation of more events so that their competitors can compete for an international title without traveling outside of their national boundaries.
