Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted August 7, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted August 7, 2017 From the chief! 670 entry's. Going to be a great nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller JeffSurdej Posted August 7, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2017 AWAA is starting to see some encouraging numbers overall. Nationals up 100 skiers and 200 pulls. Midwest regionals up 25%. East up 18%. South central up 22%. West up a touch and south the same. 1000 guest members this year. We normally loose on average 500 members from Jan to July. This year -75. Still a long road to go but it's great to see it trending up. Thanks to everyone out there embracing some change and promoting our sport and ideas.

Baller MattP Posted August 7, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2017 Based on my rough math that is over 120 more skiers than last year. Roughly 20K in Entry Fees if they are all single event skiers. I hope the host site is the one to benefit from this and does not all go to "administrate fees" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller JeffSurdej Posted August 7, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2017 @MattP those fees are just a flat percentage of the entry. So the LOC will have great benefit from the extra entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MattP Posted August 7, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2017 @JeffSurdej thanks and noted. Looks to be around 1,231 pulls this year. 634 of those pulls did not ski in Nationals last year. 597 of the pulls are returning from last year.

Baller MattP Posted August 7, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2017 @JeffSurdej The Entry status on USAWS shows the previous years placement for each skier. If they did not ski there is no placement data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Moskier3ev Posted August 8, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 8, 2017 Lakes are fine... there will be some adjustments to trick to fit them in in 2 days. So check your events when you register.. Site looks good...and the whole SMRR Nieghborhood says thanks to all coming...Be sure and check out the local venders offering evening skier specials in San Marcos. Check the web site for details.

Baller_ lpskier Posted August 8, 2017 Author Baller_ Share Posted August 8, 2017 Several hours driving west on 10 today pulling an Airstream with a Nautique sticker on the back window, and no one honked. Informal highway pole says I'm the only person from east of Texas going to Nationals. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGray Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I was up there this weekend helping out. The rain hit as I pulled out of the gate early Monday morning. But the site looks great and the guys and gals out there are doing a great job getting it ready. Can't wait for kickoff tomorrow morning! My first nationals and m3 is first off the dock, should help keep the butterflies down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted August 9, 2017 Author Baller_ Share Posted August 9, 2017 @Chuck_Dickey Make sure you are checking registration status, then under "Type" select "Seeding." Select your age group and event. That is the running order in reverse, i.e., skier "1," the top seeded skier, skis last. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller schroed Posted August 9, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2017 Anybody else trying to use the live scoring web page or app (waterskiresults.com)? It doesn't seem to be working for me. I was trying to check in on M3 slalom scores and it just comes back with another option to select the event after I hit submit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted August 9, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2017 @schroed same issue here. I was having the same problem during regionals. Could be a slow server timing out before the request can be made due to a high number of requests today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller schroed Posted August 9, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think we finally killed it. I'm getting a "service temporarily unavailable" error now on the main URL. Anyone on site out there know what's going on in M3 slalom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller schroed Posted August 9, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2017 Word on the street is that Barton Rachwal won with 2.5 @ 39. Jason Peckham got .5 @ 39 (not sure what place). Grubbs made the podium at 5th place. So, I think Paul Turner is off the podium with Surdej and Fizer on it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
