AWSA has adopted a team skiing format for the Regional and National competitions in 2016. An outline of the competition can be found on Page 61 of the Western Regional Guide. Please check in with your team captains who are your Council Representative. Nine teams will compete at the West Regional’s for a chance to compete at the Nationals for the Team Championship. Get behind your team, train with team members, and cheer everyone on to make the Regionals an integrated competition. Maybe even pick up another event to help your team score points.

IWWF has adopted the following rule change related to the jump grid marking buoys within the landing zone: Any video distance measurement buoys or spectator reference buoys must be a minimum of 8 meters from the ramp centerline for safety purposes so that they will not interfere with the skier while landing.
IWWF has adopted the following rule change related to the jump ramp: Jump Ramp Deviation – the maximum deviation within the surface of the jump ramp from a flat surface can be a maximum of 2 cm. Prior tolerance was 2.5 cm. Additionally any deviation if more than 1 cm must be in the center of the out of water surface.
If you got 1st place at Regionals this year at Warman Lake, please send your photo to Stacy Holbert (sjholbert35@gmail.com) for the Regional Guide ASAP!
