The Event
As most of you know I’m hosting an Elite Pro-Am “The Travers Grand Prix” October 7-8. This event is going to be different in many ways. The concept and rules are outlined below but you can also go to the website for more information and to register.

All pro skiers and any level amateurs are invited. The purpose of this event is to bring people that haven’t meet/skied/ been around pro water skiing together. I would like to have as many pro slalom skiers as possible. The top 20 men that show up for the Pro-Am will be placed on a team with two amateurs. The rest of the slalom skiers will be just participating in the slalom event. The pro skiers that participate in the Grand Prix Pro-Am (on a team) will be competing in skeet shooting and go-karting.

SCORING & EVENT RULES

Waterskiing

Your score is Based off your average buoy count minus 6 buoys (for example if pro average is 4@10.25 on IWWF World Ranking then for the TGP his average will be 4@10.75) if th skier scores anything above 4@10.75 then it’s a positive number anything less than 4@10.75 is a negative number. Then we will take the two amateurs best single score out of the three rounds and average it with the best Pro’s score to get a team score ( for example amateur 1 average for the event is 2@12 and he’s best score is 4@12 then he has a plus 2 and for the second amateur his average is 4@11 and he’s best score is 4@11 then he’s scored 0 , pro has a plus 3 as his best round so we will average the three score like 2+0+3 = 5. We will do this for each team and seed each team the team with the highest points will be first.

Go Karts

The karting event will be scored a lot like the skiing. The team score will be determined by the average of each of the team members’ best lap times. There will be a 30-minute warm up for the entire team, meaning each team member will have 10 minutes to feel and understand the track and kart. After the initial 30 minutes warm up, we will start the races. Each person will participate in a 20 minute race. We will take the best lap times from each person and average it. There will be two different groups racing, group 1 will be pro skiers that finished 11-20 in the pro slalom event, group 2 will go after group 1, and will include the top 10 pro slalom skiers from that day.

Skeet Shooting

Will be scored a lot like skiing and go karts. Each team member will have 4 warm up shoots then will have 10 recorded shoots. If you hit all 10 shoots you score 10, we will average the team total and seed. Best score is a average of 10.

Overall Team Scoring
The winning team will be based off the team’s average in all the events combined for example (Team A gets a score of “4” in waterskiing, a “7” in karting and a “2” in shooting their overall team score will be a 6.5) If there is a tie it will be broken by looking at the best single event score.
