Select your discipline when you register with NASTAR. If you race in a different discipline on another day, tell the starter so that the race is recorded correctly. Keep the same NASTAR ID.
Discipline discounts are used for medal and team-point calculations. Your actual race handicap remains on your record; the discount does not change your recorded time.
