D. Communication:
1. It is the sole responsibility of the rider to communicate to the driver before leaving the dock which direction to turn for the double up, where to proceed through the course, and to verify the proper speed of the boat. Riders must also communicate any specifics of the double up wanted (i.e. open or closed.) There will be NO re-rides due to miscommunication.

2. Riders may change the direction of the double up by clearly signaling to and receiving confirmation from the boat before the end of a pass.

3. In the event of a double up given in the wrong direction, the rider must wave off the double up and not attempt a trick. If a trick is attempted, the rider has accepted that as their double up. If a rider waves off the double up and doesn't attempt anything, the boat will travel back down the course, turn around, and go back to complete the correct double up. There will be no re-ride for turbulent water created by this action.

E. Falls:

1. A rider may have one out of course fall only before the start of the first pass. A fall between the first and second pass, although “out of course” will be deemed a regular fall. If the rider is trying to advance their run, the judges will determine this.

2. Each rider may have one handle throw before the start of his/her first pass. This will count as their one out of course fall. This handle throw may only be used prior to the riders first pass.

3. A rider can have a maximum of two falls during the run. Should a first fall occur, the driver will pick up the rider as quickly as possible. The rider will not be picked up after his second fall, or after a fall that occurs beyond the three-quarters fall buoy of the second pass, unless a double up is still to come. Upon a second or three-quarters buoy fall, the run is over and the boat will return to the dock.

F. Judging:

1. Each contestant shall be judged on one complete, individual run. That run will be compared against other runs from the same heat and ranked only against those runs.
There are no predetermined points for any tricks. The judging of this routine begins when the rider initiates their first trick and ends when the rider:

a) Exits the course after the second pass
b) Completes the final double up
c) Falls for the second time
d) Falls after the three-quarters buoy (when no double up is planned)

2. Note: For all other judging questions and concerns please revert to the overall WWA judging section XVII, B.

XI. Timed Freeride:

A. Overview:

1. Riders will perform a subjectively judged timed run, where the boat will run passes within a set course (see X, B). Within this boat pattern, riders may be given a number of double ups in the direction of their choice at each end of the course or as the event organizer and chief judge set forth.

2. Contestants may perform any number of tricks they choose in any order they wish within the time allotted, starting from the moment they leave the starting dock. Riders will be judged on the difficulty and proficiency of the moves executed, how big they take tricks, variety of moves performed, technical difficulty, and the creativity and fluidity of the run.
