will not be seeded in Period 1; they will be seeded in Period 2 if they race in Period 1.
will not be used as reference skiers if they finish in the top 5 of early 2021-2022 races; they will be used as reference skiers when their 2021-2022 results start to be picked up by subsequent CPLs
will not be eligible for NST/PNST nominations or AAP selections that rely on 2020-2021 CPL rankings
