SWIVEL

SHOWCASE

Top swivel skiers throw down in a one-of-a-kind showdown.

Think ballet meets waterskiing, with a splash of “Wait… how did they do that?”

Format

  • Semi-finals consist of two heats with up to four skiers each. The top two scoring skiers of each heat will advance to the four-person final. 

  • Seeding will be loosely based on prior results and then randomly selected. Heats will be published prior to the event. 

Rules

  • Skiers MUST recognize or salute the crowd off the dock.

  • Each skier is allowed two passes and one trick back to shore. Creative dock starts will earn extra points.

  • Judging begins at the start dock (first pass) or the main dock (second pass).

  • Two falls are allowed with only one pickup. Skier must swim into shore after their second fall.

  • No points will be given for attempted tricks that result in a fall.

  • Skiers will be pulled behind an event sponsored boat.

  • Skiers can use the boat tower or low pylon.

  • Skiers must wear some form of floatation in order to compete.

  • While not required, costumes and dancing are encouraged.

Judging Criteria

  • DOCK START - Unique dock starts are encouraged and will enhance the overall score. Think beyond the standard swivel ski hop-dock and show the crowd something new.

  • CREATIVITY - The more creative your tricks and combinations are, the higher your score. Remember to add variety to your passes, such as spinning in both directions, different wraps, overheads and handle-pass combinations.

  • FLOW - We're looking for fluidity throughout each pass. Confidence and how well the trick is performed will also be considered.

  • AUTHENTICITY & STOKE - Show your stoke & unique style. Start thinking outside the box and push the envelope of what can be done on a swivel, and always remember to get the crowd engaged in your performance.

Awards

  • First place will receive an exclusive TL CornFest Champions jacket.

  • All Top 3 rankings will receive a medal + a Lake Lovers Club prize pack.
