Letter from the Editor at Sports Illustrated South Africa

Dear Sports Illustrated New Model Search entrants!

Firstly, let me apologise for the confusion our site has caused over the last few days! Let me please explain the situation and assure all of our existing internationally-based entrants that we welcome you to our competition and appreciate your effort and assistance in making this year’s New Model Search such an international success.

I’ll explain the situation as succinctly as I can. This competition is for the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SOUTH AFRICAN EDITION ONLY. We became aware that a lot of you are under the impression that this is a competition for the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED US SWIMSUIT EDITION, which it is not.

This created such confusion that we felt it best to make this very clear to any future entrants, hence the changes to our site that you would have seen recently.

We had to get the software program behind the voting system to identify all of our existing internationally-based entrants so that we could ensure that we are able to communicate with you today. We needed to separate our existing international entrants from any non-SA residents who may try to enter in the future.

That is why some of you have received ‘Undefined’ messages when looking at your urls.

The good news is that this process is now complete and we are happy to welcome back all of you who entered the competition prior to 24 February 2011! You will all soon be reinstated with the exact number of votes you have currently. Please continue rallying support.

Once again, apologies for the confusion!

If you would like to opt out of the competition or if you have any other queries, please email us on NMS@sportsillustrated.co.za

Good luck to you all!

Brendan Cooper
Editor, Sports Illustrated South Africa

WINDSOR DAREDEVILS TRY TO SCORE A SPOT AT RED BULL CRASHED ICE 2011

The Windsor Sports Scene by

PARTICIPANTS, WALK UPS AND SPECTATORS TO ENTER THROUGH COMMUNITY RINKS ENTRANCE

Have you ever wanted to give the fastest sport on skates a go? That was the goal of over 11,000 intrepid male and female adrenaline junkies from across Canada who registered online for the chance to compete against the world’s top ice cross downhill skaters in Quebec City. After a random lottery selection, 220 daredevils from Windsor will be competing for a spot in the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championship 2011. Check out the action at the WFCU Centre—home of the Windsor Spitfires—on February 11th at 5:30pm.

The participants—200 men and 20 women—will compete in individual speed trials on a flat ice surface in a traditional indoor hockey rink. The top skaters (5 men and 1 woman from the Windsor qualifier) who demonstrate skating skill, agility, strategy, and strength will move on to participate in the main event in Quebec City, where consecutive heats of four skaters will race head to head in a double elimination bracket (based on time).

New in 2011: There is such a thing as a second chance! Red Bull Crashed Ice is now allowing 50 walk-up spots per qualifying city (as time permits and registration allows). The 50 walk-ups (first come, first serve) will join the 200 men and 20 women selected via the lottery for each qualifier.
The ultimate challenge for anyone on skates, Red Bull Crashed Ice is a combination of hockey, downhill skiing, and boarder cross, featuring an urban ice track packed with massive drops, hairpin turns, big-air jumps, step-ups, drop-offs, and gaps. Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championship 2011 showcases four races in total that are set to take the sport of ice cross downhill to a new level.

Icy Action Ahead
With more than 11,000 registrants nationwide – 226 in Windsor alone – only the quickest and sharpest men and women will travel to Quebec City to tackle the monolithic 600m urban ice track (with a 60m vertical).

WHAT: Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championship Qualifiers
WHEN: Friday, February 11, 2011 at 5:30pm
WHERE: WFCU Centre, home of the Windsor Spitfires (8787 McHugh Street)
