303Skier Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'm going to say CP makes it in. Not very familiar with the format though? Is it a highest score wins the entry? One skier or multiple skiers can go? I know the cut is 4@41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted May 19, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 19, 2017 @303Skier The cutoff for Mens slalom is 4.5@4. See Rules below. From the Masters Website Regarding the LCQ. The Champions of the Masters, multi-round, Last Chance Qualifier, in the Open Division for slalom, trick and jump, NOT already invited to the 58th Masters. The LCQ will be held on May 19-21, 2017 at Sunset Lakes, 3018 No Wake Lane, Groveland FL 34736. Each LCQ Division winner (slalom, trick and jump) will receive a Masters invitation, providing that the winning score equals or exceeds the following benchmark scores*: Open Men’s Slalom: 4.5 @ 10.25 meters Open Women’s Slalom: 2.5 @ 10.75 meters Open Men’s Tricks: 11,305 points Open Women’s Tricks: 9,320 points Open Men’s Jump: 67.45 meters Open Women’s Jump: 54.05 meters The highest single round LCQ Division score will be used to determine the winner of each event. Any ties for first place will first be broken by the next highest round score(s); any remaining ties will be a run-off. Only the first place event winner will receive a Masters invitation, e.g., no additional Masters LCQ invitations will be issued to the second place or subsequent finishers. *Benchmark scores are set after the finalized World Ranking List is published for October 2016.

Baller Razorskier1 Posted May 19, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 19, 2017 it is absolutely crazy that the cutoff is 4.5 at 41. Holy crap! A guy has to get a piece of 5 ball at the last complete line length anyone has ever run just to qualify! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller liquid d Posted May 20, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 20, 2017 I think it's a bit insane that JT and CP are not qualified already. Although Nate seems to be a bit up on everyone at the moment, the next 10 spots are up for grabs. I also think former world record holders should get an automatic in.

Baller Edbrazil Posted May 20, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 20, 2017 Interesting idea from @liquid d But, probably would have to limit it just how far back in time a World Record holder was. Maybe 10 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted May 20, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 20, 2017 CP missed by 1/4 buoy. Brutal. Maybe if they have a clue, he will get a Wild Card invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller B_S Posted May 20, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 20, 2017 Something is wrong with their selection process if a healthy CP doesn't qualify. That's just nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skid Posted May 21, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 21, 2017 Maybe the selection committee could scrap wakeskating all together and add a healthy CP to the mix. That would be a fair trade off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rockdog Posted May 21, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 21, 2017 Sooo, CP should just get in because... he's CP? @liquid d there is a process, 1/4 buoy more and he'd be in. Though no one disagrees he's on fire at the moment, the fire didn't give him a 1/4 buoy more, no cigar.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nautibynature Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Have they given wild card invites in the past and is there a process for it or is this just a suggestion? Didn't CP get in last year but couldn't ski because of his injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jcamp Posted May 21, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 21, 2017 I like the fact that they have well established criteria and stick to them. Makes invites more special and eliminates issues when, let's say a Nautique skier (like Parrish), gets in and a MasterCraft or Malibu skier doesn't.

Baller MattP Posted May 21, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 21, 2017 5 men's jumpers surpassed the cutoff score to make Masters. Taylor Garcia takes the bid with 226' 68.9m.

Baller matthewbrown Posted May 22, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2017 @liquid d I agree, they ought to let the big guy in, just like they should of gave you and I a tie at the '96 nats, I got screwed by the wind in that runoff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted May 22, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2017 Should give a wild card invite to all the Men jumpers who exceeded the cutoff score. Would make for better entertainment, especially vs. gagg wakeskate. The Masters people are just a bit too convinced that their shit doesn't stink.

Baller Drago Posted May 22, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2017 On the other hand, @Edbrazil , they are the only tournament that didn't bail on women and/or 3-event over the years. It is the Masters, and very difficult to get in, not the Open, which was "run" by a 3-event organization and didn't even exist for 10(?) years. Waiting for Parrish's video so we can analyze the 1/4.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted May 22, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2017 Actually, they bailed on 3-event when they dropped the Overall. Yup, the AWSA/USAWS has $$$ problems. I worked the 3 at Disney from 2005--2007. Good events, even though in igga-gigga backwash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ALPJr Posted May 26, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 26, 2017 Slightly off topic, anyway... I think the Masters has done a great job of keeping current by including wake sports. After 20+ years of more young skiers choosing wakeboarding over skiing maybe it's time to start including a wake event in local ski tourneys.

Baller skiinxs Posted May 26, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 26, 2017 I think many if not most private sites that host three event tournaments would not want those boats destroying their shoreline and jumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
303Skier Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 I agree about the boats destroying shoreline at smaller private ski lakes, I've seen it destroy a few in Colorado. The wakeboard boats these days are way too big if you ask me. They use to get the job done on small 20 ft inboards. Now it's massive 23 and 25 foot boats! I don't see why you need that much of a wake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller liquid d Posted May 27, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2017 If the Masters can do it, I'm sure there are several other sites that could host it without any problems. The wakesports are not thriving like crazy either. Trophy and McCormicks have separate lakes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
