In Autumn/2009 Topolino was authorized by FIS to introduce a new starting order for a test in the 2010 season. The reasons for the test are for greater safety, provide a better race for all athletes and to respect the international participation that is so important for FIS Children's Competitions. The following outlines the detail for the draw of the athletes:

• Each starting group permits one athlete per participating nation. In the case of double quota of the nation's organizers, the athletes of the national "B" will start at the end of each category;
• Each National Federation must identify the starting order of the athletes they enter on the entry form:
• There will be a "merit group" sub-group within each starting group which will consist of an athletes from nations who placed in the top 15 placings of the previous edition of the competition. This sub-group will be drawn as the first 15;
• The second sub-group of each starting group will be composed of athletes of other nations who were not ranked in the top 15 of the previous year;
• The same procedure will be used for the 2nd and 3rd starting group and any other groups until all athletes have a starting number;
  The last group consists of the athletes of the organizing nation, in double quota: If the number of competing athletes exceeds the double quota a separate group will be drown after the entire starting field in the same procedure as group 1:
• This method is used for all events and categories (CHI1_F, CHI1_M, CHI2_F, CHI2_M)

To further enhance safety, a longer time interval will be used by Jury after the last competitor in the departure of each group and the first of the next group.
In case of re-run of an athlete, a longer time interval before the re-run and following the start of the re-run will be used by Jury.
