Skier’s Marine MasterCraft BallOfSpray Cash Prize at Whitestone Lakes

[Horton]

BallOfSpray is proud to announce that Skier’s Marine has signed on as the title sponsor of the BallOfSpray Cash Prize and will be pulled exclusively by MasterCraft boats. The event will be held June 12-13th at Whitestone Lake Estates’ two lake site in Talking Rock, GA.

Pro and amateur skiers alike will compete for at least $6,000 in prize money. The two-day 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 16 skiers with the highest scores 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 round.

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 24 months
2. Handicaps will be calculated from each skier's USAWS 12-month 3 score average. If a skier does not have 3 scores from the last 12 months a 24-month average will be used
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 $225

[Ed_Johnson]

Any recommendations on Hotel bookings for this event ??

 

 

[dvskier]

I’ve stayed at the Microtel in Jasper, very clean and 10 minutes from the site. Would definitely stay there again.

[MattP]

@Ed_Johnson I agree with @dvskier. There are also a lot of cabin rentals in the area if you want a larger space. Hotels in Ellijay as well.

 

I will be there.

[oneski]

The weather in North Georgia has been perfect, the lakes are skiing well, and I’m signed up for the BOS! Time to up my skiing a notch or two (or three) and bring home some hardware.

[Horton]

@oneski hardware is cool but what you want to bring home is money!

[Horton]

there are some spots open if anybody wants to come play.

[RAWSki]

[oneski]

It’s been an awesome BOS tournament at Whitestone. Special thanks to John and our sponsors for helping us put on the tournament.

 

[Horton]

incredible event. All credit to the Whitestone crew

[dvskier]

@Horton I really appreciate the opportunity to meet you and have a discussion. James Bryan is a terrific skier who?

[Horton]

@dvskier good to meet you too. Was a great weekend. Thanks to all the folks at Whitestone, Skiers Marine & MasterCraft.

[RAWSki]

We had a lot of fun running a 3 event tourny and the BOS Cash Prize side by side for 2 days.

Great weather great people and great skiing... even by @Horton. But the highlight had to be getting to meet and thank John and his better half Kim for the BOS Site which made meeting @Shell possible!

 

[MattP]

A big thank you to everyone at Whitestone for putting on another great tournament! They went above and beyond bringing in top notch officials, MasterCraft drivers for the Cash Prize and great boats. Their hospitality was second to none, food trucks every day, live music and great fellowship. Whitestone has put a lot of work into the site over the last few years and the scores really show that! Put a BOS Cash Prize is on your list of tournaments to ski in and make it the one at Whitestone next year.

 

I hope this event continues and grows every year. I can't wait for 2022!

[RAWSki]

Thanks Next year is already in the planning stages --- Great Skiing @MattP and a big Thank You to you and Ashley for your scoring expertise!
