WorldWaterSkiers is excited to present the World Water Ski Open, a professional Overall tournament in Steyregg, Austria, near the city of Linz, on August 8-9, 2020. Originally scheduled to feature 12 and 8 of the best male and female water-skiers respectively in all three disciplines of the sport, travel restrictions have led to a much condensed field. Yet, WWS decided to continue with the event none the less. 5 men and 2 females, all world class skiers from five different countries, will compete for the overall crown and to showcase their Skills. We hope you are ready to kick off the Overall Tour at the 1st event in Austria!

In these uncertain times, the WWS hopes this event will uplift the spirits of the sporting world. Styregg, the home of the 2007 Open World Championships, is largely considered to be one of the most beautiful sites in the world in one of the most picturesque countries. Thus, this event will feature the best skiers on the planet while offering audiences some of the most breathtaking landscapes as an event backdrop.

The ultimate goal for the World Water Ski Open is to provide a platform to showcase all 3 disciplines of waterskiing by highlighting the Overall athlete. This event will be unlike any other waterski event of the recent past. Instead, a more streamlined approach will provide the flexibility to focus on making an exciting show that will have fans and sponsors wanting more.

Rules

Individual Event Judging Decisions :

Tricks:

There will be a singular judge calling tricks, with a second judge timing.
There will be a fixed camera in the boat for video review.
The driver will be the boat judge, only 2 people in the boat for social distancing requirements.
If a skier asks for a reride, the boat judge, the appointed trick calling. judge, and the chief judge will decide whether to approve of the request.
Additional weight is allowed in the boat.

Slalom:

The chief judge will be in the main tower watching the skier’s gates.
If the chief judge deems a skier missed the gates, the boat judge has the right to call in to ask for a review, if he/she believes the skier passed through the gates, but the chief judge is the only judge who can review the gates and ultimately has final say on the gates call.
The boat judge will watch the skier and make the call on the final buoy count of each pass.
If the chief judge, watching in the tower, feels that the incorrect buoy count was called, or the boat judge believes that a review is necessary, the chief judge can review the skier’s pass through the boat camera, to determine the final buoy count. The chief judge thus has the final decision on a discrepancy on buoy count.
The boat path will be monitored by GPS tracking, or end course cameras.
If a skier asks for a reride, the driver, the appointed judge and the chief judge will decide whether to approve the request.

Jump:

The boat crew will consist of the driver and a cameraman, the driver will be responsible for the boat times.
The boat path will be monitored by GPS tracking, or end course cameras.
If a skier asks for a reride, the driver, the appointed judge and the chief judge will decide whether to approve of the request.
