Tie-breaking procedures based upon a comparison of scores of the eliminated skiers will now be used to determine the rankings.
Revisions to the Moguls Team Event
Modification of the rules concerning the moguls team event now further defines the entries, scoring and operational procedures. Teams are now allowed to have substitute competitors and there is only one team per nation, with one additional team allowed for the host.
Mogul and Aerials Scoring Procedures
It was decided that the high and low elements will be dropped from the different components making up the total score, instead of dropping the high and low from the total scores.
