Basically says you can qualify for the team with a top-10 in europe or you have to finish top-2 at Mt Snow.

In that regard, USAC will not be responsible for or manage logistics for personal coaches, athletes’ families, spouses, friends or significant others. It will be the responsibility of the athletes or staff to make separate arrangements for housing, food and transportation and they will be responsible for all costs related to any separate arrangements they might make.
Selection will be based on final, official results from the qualifying events identified as automatic qualifying criteria. Mechanical problems and crashes are a part of cycling, especially in the mountain bike disciplines. Therefore, USAC will not consider an athlete’s position or placing in an event or events at the time the athlete experienced a mechanical problem or crashed as a determining factor for selection.
These nomination procedures have been developed based on the most recent information supplied by Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) regarding the events, athlete participation, team qualification and team size. USA Cycling’s nomination procedures may be subject to change based on the final international and domestic racing calendars and/or updated information from the UCI.
ELIGIBILITY
For all events: Elite men; Junior men; Women OPEN - only those athletes who automatically qualify for the World Championships, or are nominated by USAC can represent the United States at the 2004 World Championships. All athletes must be U.S. citizens, have a valid USAC International Racing License and meet all eligibility requirements of USA Cycling, the UCI and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). All athletes must be in good standing with USA Cycling, USOC, UCI and the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

NOTE: You will be required to purchase a USAC International License and a Current US Passport if you do not already have one.
All athletes and staff nominated to the World Championship team must sign prior to and as a condition of being selected to the team, regardless of whether the athlete’s selection is automatic or discretionary, and abide by USA Cycling’s Code of Conduct (see Attachment A) and any other required USA Cycling member agreements. Failure to do so may result in dismissal from the World Championship Team. Failure to abide by these agreements will result in dismissal from the World Championship Team.
All athletes and staff must abide by all USA Cycling, USOC, UCI and USADA anti-doping regulations prior to, during and after the World Championship competition.

Any specific qualifying event, e.g. NORBA NCS, UCI World Cup, and etc. must be run in its entirety according to pre-race publications to be eligible for consideration in automatic qualification. If one or all of the events are not run in their entirety, the athlete who is declared the winner of that event or events will not be automatically qualified for the World Championship team.
DISCRETIONARY ATHLETE NOMINATIONS
The purpose of discretionary athlete nomination is to allow USAC the ability to recommend the best physically, psychologically and technically prepared athlete in order to produce medal-winning and/or top-eight performances at the World Championships. Based on the context of the situation, the USA Cycling National Coaching Staff will evaluate which athletes can be nominated to the team in order to field the strongest, most sound and unified team for the World Championships.
