Event Registration/Check In – Please complete and submit the Entry Form, Athlete Biography, Membership ID Card, Proof of Performance, and entry fee to the registration. Waivers will be signed In Person on site at Registration. Registra-on Link - USA Adaptive National Water Ski Championships
Site Familiarization (SF) – Site Familiarization will take place on Wednesday, September 18th between 8am and 4pm. Preference in the running order will be given to USA-AWSWS BOD members who must be present at the BOD meeting. The SF order of events will be Slalom (less Vision Impaired), Trick, Jump, Audio Slalom. (BOD Members Please Be Respectful of other Athletes and get there early so not to disrupt the flow SF.)
Skiers will register in person for SF at the ski site on Wednesday morning, paying their SF fee at the time that their names are added to the SF running order. The fee per set is $15. Please note, we have limited time for SF. Skiers will be allotted one slot and asked to sign up and ski in only one event during SF. Skiers must pick their one event when registering. If there is extra time after every signed up skier has had one set, skiers will be allowed a second set, one per skier until 4 PM, following the order of their original sign. Skiers will be asked to pay for this second set when signing up.
A set consists of 4 slalom passes, 4 trick passes, 2 jumps, or a max of 10 minutes. If a skier is not ready to ski when his/her name is called, he/she will be bypassed. Once there are no SF skiers in line and ready to ski in a particular event, SF in the next scheduled event will begin with no backtracking for those who missed their SF opportunity. The LOC will provide notice of SF skier's running orders and the impending close of SF in any event, before moving to the next event. SLALOM SKIERS MUST BE AWARE THAT THEY ARE FIRST OFF THE DOCK SO PLAN ACCORDINGLY!
