RULES

Mini Course Rules (Division 6)

For beginners, a mini course division has been created for the slalom event. The turn buoys are placed at half the normal width. Each skier may choose their starting speed. Speeds will only be increased once the skier has completed the full course. Each skier is guaranteed 4 passes. Skiers are given a score for each buoy completed just turning the mini course buoy is worth .5, turning the full course buoy is worth 1 point. Scores of .6,.7,.8,.9 are also given as the skier gets wider than the mini course buoy, but not yet around the full course. Once a skier has failed to go around a mini course buoy the scoring stops for that pass. Start gates are optional but worth 1 point End gates must be completed to gain a score for the 6th buoy. The maximum score for each pass is 7 points When a skier runs the full course the speed will be increased for the next pass. Once a Division 6 skier has successfully run the full course 3 times in any competition they move up to full course (Div5). After the first pass the boat judge has the right to increase the speed.

All other events will be run to IWSF rules.
