Novice basic entry

[Dan]

Can someone tell me whether I can enter the basic race with a novice skier AND observer? Not had chance to look in rule book and I've just been asked the question as my sister and her friend are interested in doing a few of the basic races this year.
Many thanks

[Rebel Skier]

when you say basic race, do you mean a southwest regional?

[Dan]

yeah, sorry.
I'm unsure mine and other peoples plans are at the mo but wouldnt mind doing a couple of the local races with my sister if all else fails.
Cheers
Dan
