Contest Format: Contest will be judged using INT scoring format. For a breakdown of INT divisions and scoring please visit www.intleagues.com/divisions/wakeboard/. While individuals without a team can compete and receive awards, riders not affiliated with a team qualifying for nationals will not have their score included when adding up team scores and will be omitted completely. Example: If a rider without a team finishes second in your division and you finish third, your team will receive the second place points to their team score.

Sunday: We will start off the dock at 8:00 am again and follow the same order in reverse (with the ladies riding first.) After the final rider will be the Awards Ceremony where individual and team awards will be presented.
Team score: Riders representing a team qualifying for nationals will have their scores added to a team total. Points will be awarded to the highest scoring individual from each team in each division. Each division will be weighted evenly and the scores will be added together from both days in order to determine team competition winners.
