Tell me about Grass Roots

[rodltg2]

I see there is a grassroots event in Bako coming up. The website does not say much other than grassroots events are family oriented experience for all watersports.

I don't think there is a codified set of "grassroots" rules, they are just class f (fun) sanctioned tournaments. Class F tournaments have a great deal of flexibility in organization, format, and rule; because scores don't count for national rankings, skiers' attitudes usually relax. You'll need to call or email the tournament organizer to find out what their specific rule changes are. In terms of beginner and family friendly, you could probably expect something like a mulligan if you don't make your opener.
