All races are started by the ritual wave of the snow shovel.
There are three competitions in the HPV World Ice Championships.

The Flying Start Time Trial
100-meter flying start race against the clock.

The Drag Race
50-meter head-to-head double elimination.

The Circuit Race
Anyone left on the ice jumps on the loop for the ultimate in slippery chaos criterium.

The Winners
In our mind we're all winners, but these are the guys who crossed the finish line first.

The rules are, well, open to interpretation.
