Regulation changes

For the 2010/11 season, the ISU altered parts of the regulations. They focussed on the following points:

Rule violations are not identical in all cases punishable (as before a disqualification ). Instead, there are differentiated penalties: The lowest level is a penalty (English: punishment ), in which the athlete concerned is only excluded from this run, but can still participate in the race. If an athlete punished twice in the same race by a penalty or is it " particularly negligent or dangerous behavior ," he is given a yellow card and is ruled out of the race. On two yellow cards or a " deliberate threats " follows the Red Card; the Shorttracker will be excluded from the event. If this happens twice within a year, the rotor is locked for two months or for at least three international events.
If, when overtaking a fall, is no longer automatically the Superseding the culprit. Instead, the judges will decide which athletes will be punished.
After two false starts, a runner is ruled out of the race.
In competitions held no more curve Judges are required.

Participating countries and their squad

For the first short track speed skating World Cup of the season in Montreal, Canada reported 23 states to participants, including " short-track exotics" such as Bosnia - Herzegovina or India, which previously did not achieve great success in this sport. Of the 23 participating countries came two from North America, 16 from Europe and five from Asia. Did not start are athletes from South Korea, which performed regularly at the most successful at World Cups and major events. The reasons for the waiver are unclear. In the summer of 2010, the South Korean association had several Shorttracker, including the double Olympic gold medalist Lee Jung -su locked after it became known that they had met prohibited agreements in advance of elimination race.

Of the participating teams some like the U.S. or the German team determined their World Cup starter in national qualifications in other nations put the coach the team together. Many teams presented first, before only the squad for the first two World Cup stages in North America; for the remaining four events can change the squad yet.

Venues

In the summer of 2010, ISU published the world cup program for winter 2010/11. After the Olympic season has consisted of only four World Cups 2009/10, the number of stations for World Cup 2010/11 increased again to six. As in most previously discharged short-track seasons, these stations distributed on the three continents that make up the majority of the athletes: the two World Cups were held on consecutive weekends in Asia, North America and Europe. The two North American stations were located both in the Canadian province of Quebec and were only 250 miles apart. Twice the distance between the two places in Asia, where the World Cup were played, Shanghai and Changchun, both located in China. This comparatively small distances facilitated the move within the World Cup. After a World Cup in Moscow ended the season in Dresden, for the second time hosted the World Cup finals in 2009.
