E. Falls:
1. Should a fall occur,
the driver will pick up the rider as quickly
as possible and continue along the course
to the next double up. The rider will not
be picked up after the second double up.
F. Judging:
1. Each contestant shall
be judged on two double ups, one in each
direction. They will be compared and ranked
only against other runs from the same heat.
There are no predetermined points for any
tricks.
2. Three judges (or more)
will give two scores for each double up
attempted, whether successfully landed or
not. On a scale of 1 to 5 a score for the
trick’s degree of size will be given.
Also a score of 1 to 5 for execution and
difficulty will be given. These two scores
will be added together to give a score out
of ten. Scores from each judge will then
be added together for a total.
3. It is left to the discretion
of the event organizer to determine if both
double ups are scored or if each rider is
scored on their best of the two.
4. There will be NO re-rides
granted for less than perfect double up
patterns or perceived speed variations of
the boat. Re-rides may be granted at the
sole discretion of the head judge for equipment
failure within the boat, or due to gross
driver error.
5. For all other judging questions and concerns
please revert to the overall WWA judging
section XVII, B.
XV. Cable:
A. Overview:
1. All riders in a heat will compete against
each other at the same time in a subjectively
judged, timed heat. The number of competitors
in a heat will depend on the number of cable
carriers. As all riders in the heat are
on the water at the same time, each rider
should wear a distinctly colored bib or
easily identifiable marking to allow judges
to assign scores to the correct rider.
2. Contestants may perform
any number of tricks they choose in any
order they wish. Riders will be judged on
the difficulty and proficiency of the moves
executed, how big they are going, variety
of moves performed, technical difficulty,
use of obstacles and creativity and fluidity.
3. Judges will be placed
in “zones” around the cable
course and will judge each rider only on
tricks performed within that zone and rank
each rider against the others in the heat.
Zones may be assigned as apparatus, corners,
straights or any other method at the discretion
of the head judge.
B. The Course:
The course shall be a timed
course within the boundaries of the cable
system, with the time starting when the
last rider in the heat leaves the dock,
until time runs out. The heat will end when
all riders complete their current lap after
the completion of time.
C. The Run:
1. All riders will leave
the starting dock on individual carriers
and begin their pass when the last rider
is on the water. Riders will be judged on
tricks initiated within each judging zone
or apparatus. Judging will stop after all
riders complete the lap they are on when
time expires.
2. The riders will continue
their run after any falls by returning to
the start dock and using the next available
carrier. There is no limit to the number
of falls, as long as the rider can get back
on the course before the time expires.
