Format

• The quarter final consists of four heats with the top two scoring skiers advancing into the semi-finals. Semi-finals consist of four heats of two skiers, head-to-head. The top skier from each heat will advance to a 4-person final.

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

• Unlike traditional trick ski contests, there will be no objective scoring system -- each athlete will be subjectively judged based on the judging criteria listed below.

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. A fall on a creative start will count as a fall, but can benefit scores when it comes to risk and difficulty.

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

• Tricks can be completed on any apparatus or discipline (e.g., trick ski, wake skate, disc, etc.) and in any order.

• 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.
