*Please arrive one and half hours before your scheduled time to avoid missing your turn.

Take note of the following rules:

Rule 5 RIDER PREPARDNESS

A rider must be in his bindings, with his life vest on, and with a rope that will not interfere with him being ready to ride when the boat returns to the dock/start area. Any rider who fails to be on immediate hand & in condition to ride when it is his turn in the running order as stated above will be deemed to be wasting time to gain an unfair advantage and will be disqualified. It is the rider’s sole responsibility to be ready to ride.

Rule 6 DISQUALIFICATION

Should a rider be disqualified for any reason, he will not be permitted to participate in the remainder of the competition, ie. If he misses his turn in the qualifying rounds, he will not be permitted to compete in the last chance qualifiers.

Event Rules
Please ensure that all team / individual / alumni riders are familiar with the rules (see attached).
