2020 NorCal MasterCraft BallOfSpray Cash Prize

[Horton]

BallOfSpray is proud to announce that NorCal MasterCraft has signed on as the title sponsor of the NorCal MasterCraft BallOfSpray Cash Prize. The event will be held October 3 & 4 at Bell Acqua Lake 3 in Rio Linda California.

Pro and amateur skiers alike will compete for $6,000 in prize money. The event is comprised of 2 rounds of prelims and a final. Every competitor will ski 3 times and every competitor has an opportunity to take home prize money. The top 16 skiers at each event will compete for $3,000 in a head-to-head final and the remaining skiers will compete for an additional $3,000 in a handicap final.

General Notes and Rules

1. To be eligible for the handicap round, a skier must have scores from 3 or more different USAWS tournaments in the previous 12 months
2. Handicaps will be calculated from each skier's USAWS 12 month 3 score average
3. BallOfSpray reserves the right to tweak individual handicaps and entry qualifications as needed
4. Non USAWS skiers who can provide documentation of scores from other federations will be admitted at the discretion of the event organizer

All scores will be entered into the Cash Prize Score Book without regard to boat speed. The values for 34 MPH scores will be used for 36 mph and 32 mph skiers.

• Example: 4 @ 38 off = 100 buoys at 34mph and at 36 mph and at 32 mph

Seeding for the Head to Head will be as follows

1. Skiers with the 8 highest scores from prelims will take seeds 1 through 8
2. Skiers with the highest combined scores from rounds 1 and 2 (but not one of the 8 highest scores) will take seeds 9 through 16

All rules are subject to change

Entries are non-refundable unless the event fills. Entry fees will only be refunded when a skier from the waiting list replaces a canceled entry.

The entry fee is $200

No dogs please

If you have any questions please contact John Horton at  Horton@BallOfSpray.com

A few notes:

 

I was not sure this was going to happen but thanks to @nikandsteve at Bell Acqua Lake 3 the event is a GO!

 

The online entry form has an issue as of today but I have submitted a correction. I will post when that is fixed.

 

We may need to rethink the handicaps because almost no one has many scores this year.

 

@bishop8950 and I have talked about tweaking the rules for the top 16 H2H. Kevin is going to talk to Super Greg about what he did at the BigDawg last year and we will likely adapt that method. It is something like.... we will handicap skiers with averages less than a full pass at 39 so the first bracket is not such a blow out. Kevin will hopefully explain this better.

[rico]

I agree on handicap. Cal Pro Am was fun.

 

[rico]

Also since I just moved to M4 my average is zero therefore if I make my opener I get the cash ?

[Horton]

No. I have seen you ski this year. I will set your handicap

[skidawg]

interested!

[jayski]

@skidawg if you ski my tourney in Sept I'll get on a plane to go to @Horton's with ya. OR maybe we can get skippy, @teammalibu, and @bigtex2011 all in the creeper van and road trip over!!! Who else can we pick up on the way??

[skidawg]

Your tourney would be the warm up!

[skidawg]

Ice cream van loves road trips

[Horton]

@jayski Would have to bring Stinky?

[teammalibu]

@jayski @skidawg @bigtex2011 I’m up for a road trip!

[RichardDoane]

last year's Saturday night taco party in the rain was a lot of fun, and the Grubb's hospitality is second to none, if you can make the trip it will be worth your while

[jimski]

Looks like I’m out this year ?

[MarkM]

If it was in September I'd be going.

[bishop8950]

@MarkM why Sept only? It’s only a few days past end of September.

[MarkM]

I have local tournaments every weekend in AZ in October.

Yes, BOS is way cooler. But I gotta support the local tourneys.

 

[mmosley899]

I would really like to come out, lots of fun. But looks like we are doing a Record event at Cory Pickos’s lake that weekend. Like Mark said, got to keep supporting the local events. But, BOS is way cooler!

[schroed]

I'm in.

[Horton]

Daniel Odvarko & Terry Winter are in.

[RichardDoane]

But did they pay ?

[Horton]

Nobody skis for free in my event.

[Horton]

[bigtex2011]

What happened to @skidawg and the cross country road trip. I've been waiting on my front porch. Hopefully @horton can find a new handle measurer.

@bigtex2011 if you show up this year we will double check your handle early and fix it if it's long

[jjackkrash]

Who's taking bets and what kind of odds can I get on Schroeder?

[Horton]

UPDATED!

 

[DaveD]

Will there be a webcast?

[rico]

@DaveD unlikely this year

[DaveD]

Bummer but totally understand. I'm sure it's a huge undertaking to put on a webcast at these events.

[brettmainer]

It appears that heavy hitter Cole is not scheduled to get an at bat. Is that the final running order? If not, do you know when you will lock it down? I have some work stuff tomorrow I am trying to juggle between ski rides.

[dave2ball]

@Horton where is @Mateo_Vargas ? Seems to be MIA after skiing good in 2 prior tournaments.

 

[Mateo_Vargas]

I've retired from competition, well until the Delta Fall Open
