RACING FORMATS:
Closed Course -- Often described as "motocross on water,"
closed course competition is a multiple-lap race with up to 20 riders maneuvering
around a twisting, generally circular 1/2-mile course marked with buoys. Final
events for all classes will consist of two motos.
Riders will advance to the final (motos) through qualifying in a heat race and/or Last Chance Qualifier. The rider with the best combined finish from the two motos will be declared the closed course winner.
The Pro Ski will also use two log jumps on the course, adding a significant degree of dificulty.
Slalom -- Racers individually negotiate a zigzag, 283-foot course around nine stationary buoys for the fastest time. Slalom-- Expert, Novice, Amateur classes ONLY.
Pro, Pro-Am, Sport, Masters, Amateur 14-15 Ski riders compete ONLY in Closed Course races.
Freestyle -- Always a crowd favorite, freestyle competitors perform a two-minute routine of watercraft acrobatics, demonstrating skill and form while executing difficult and creative maneuvers. Similar to gymnastics, judges score the routines "Olympic-style," on a 1-to-10 basis, with 10 being "perfect".
