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.
