Baller_ Wish Posted September 20, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted September 20, 2011 Ok, I have an IPhone and could not stream the webcast at Diablo. Am I just screwed having the IPhone or is there a way or site that will allow me to do so. Will be away from my computer much of the weekend. Worst part is it's only a few hours from me and I'm unable to go and that sucks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted September 20, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 20, 2011 @Wish hmm I do not think that this webcast is not supported on mobile platforms ( I could be wrong) I have sat in class before watching on my iPhone but I do not remember which event it was of. I would contact the web cast company and ask them. Do you have BallOfScores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MrJones Posted September 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 22, 2011 I won't be going to Orlando. We have a big Royal Ambassador overnight camp out that our church is sponsoring Friday night and Saturday of this weekend. (Picture 125 boys in 1st go 6th grade learning all sorts of survival skills, camp craft, games, etc.) My son is in it and I am a group leader and can't really miss it. We will be driving up to Darwin's Saturday night for the Cottonwood record. I am hoping his has a nice set up for viewing the finals under the tent! (hint JD) Hopefully next year if life is a little slower I can go. (What are the odds of that???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Dirt Posted September 24, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2011 Scoke is going to kill it at 34. Who do you all think will be on top at the finals? I'm betting on Badal, Brown, Ristor...the guy from WS Mag. Big scores today. Should be exciting and you can't count any of these guys out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Dirt Posted September 25, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 25, 2011 I can't believe I counted Jay out. I did not know he was skiing. If I had known he was in the event riding a wide ride and sporting a PV, I would have put him in the top 5. If I knew he would drink 5 NOS energy drinks before skiing, he would have been my number one pick. He toned it down, drank 4 NOS and took 2nd. Congrats to #1 and Jay didn't want to risk a heart attack for a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skidawg Posted September 25, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 25, 2011 Big shout out to my boys taters and Hollywood, best finals ever! Nicely done guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Gloersen Posted September 26, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 26, 2011 Congratulations to Kyle Tate; awesome focus & perseverance! All these guys getting into 41off is incredible; hard to imagine it doesn't have anything to do with the consistency of the evolving speed control systems. Getting the settings that are suitable to each technique and for each model boat may contribute as well, but then again maybe indifferent at their level. @Roger any idea (common question) as to what ZO settings most of the BigDawgs converged to or does it still run the gamut? Also the red & black SN 200 looked like the one from Victory here in Jax (which was down there), if so I assume both used in the Elite 8 bracket were running the same 5.7L & prop, true?

Baller Roger Posted September 26, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted September 26, 2011 @Gloerson - the ZO settings were all over the board this year. I was one of the boat judges two years ago also and at that time, the tendency was either somewhere in A or somewhere in C with very few B users. This year, there was a full spread and even a few who changed settings at 39 or 41 (IE: C3 from 32 through 38 and then A3 for 39 and 41). A new bar was set at this year's finals with a run into 41 and another of at least deep 39 required to make the sweet 16. I believe prior to this event, the two rounds required approx 2.25 or 2.5 @ 39 to make the 16. We had fantastic weather, great boats from Correct Craft and Becky Lathrop and Tim Cost both driving great. The skiers took full advantage as you can see from the scores posted. A lot of hard work went into making this event come off the way it did and I'm very proud of the Ski Club of the Palm Beaches for all the work put in to make this happen!
