The above standings reflect the scoring formula used for World Cup invitations. This formula differs slightly from the American Kite Circuit scoring formula. For current American Kite Circuit standings see http://www.skinner.com/AKM_results.
Excerpt from the spring 1998 issue of American Kite Magazine: World Cup teams will be selected based on their points standing derived from three competitions prior to July 1, 1988. The points will be totaled 70 percent ballet, 30 percent precision. Finally, one of the three scores must come from a regional-class event. Two teams will be chosen to represent the U.S. at the World Cup Sportkite Championship, September 11-13, 1998, at Dieppe, France.
