  1. Its November and its too late to order a 2021 Mastercraft or Nautique?? No wonder they dont want to have a promo program. They are selling everything they want to manufacture by doing nothing. If they can do that every year why sponsor any pros? why spend anything on marketing? hec why even have dealers? (to sell wake barges I guess) Tesla doesnt have dealers.
  2. How to deal with Collegiate is a problem that needs to be thought thru. Everyone says that were growth comes from. If there are no promo boats how will Collegiate get pulled
  3. Lots of really good skiers here in North Texas
  4. How about a 1 tournament price, a 2 tournament price and $85 for unlimited tournaments.
  5. Investor making noise, means nothing
  6. Work the other angle also, what changed? a developer built more houses, work with the developer to help him understand how this will hurt him. usually developers are already plugged in politically. get them on your side and you will have more pull
  7. Building an improvement plan. I see way too many folks come to the lake ski the same sets day after day. Talk about trying to get better and stay the same. How to build an improvement plan for a whole season would be a great topic going into 2021
  8. @klindy can I get a clinic credit for reading this thread?
  9. Not a lot of folks on 2021, are there not a lot out in the field yet?
  10. I bought one, I will do a review
  11. @Sethro need more feedback, have you had a few more sets?
  12. Idea: Once per year each Region is allowed to have an "advancement rated" tournament. This tournament must be a record capable event and the chief judge must have an instructor rating (not sure how you get to be one of those people but thats a separate question). This tournament can be a substitute for the regional nations requirement. It actually might be better because there is more time for evaluation and instruction then you will ever get a reg/nat event.
  13. Has anyone used a sn196 on a sn200 trailer?

  15. we need to be making it easier not harder, or stop requiring L scores for the kids to qualify for tournaments like the Jr US Open etc.
  16. @Sethro , why a shorter rope, seems to me with that big ski and going slower you would go to a longer rope?
  17. wide tail, i wonder how it would work with some of those B1/G1 rippers on short line

  19. In the words of Mr T, I predict "pain"
  20. 1. lets overlay the existing regional and national tournaments with a handicap event. there is no need for a rule change to implement this. 3. Each event (maybe not all) ( maybe you set a cut off like there has to be at least 10 participants in the division) has the regular podium based on raw scores of course. Then there is a handicap podium. We can debate different handicap methods but that would be phase 2 of the project. The result hopefully would be more competition. The "masses" i.e. the 80%+ of skiers who have no chance at the regular podium would have a chance to win. A few specific rules would have to be set up, like a minimum number of scores to qualify and some sort fo system to throw out low scores form not running you opener etc. The only down side is a few extra bucks for medals.
  21. @yourdaguy, I agree, disagree, like and dislike all at the same time
  22. My phone does not go in the boat, as such has never ended up in the lake.
  23. hey Jody take it easy on Jeff, he has a lot of cats to herd
  24. One more comment. The objection I hear the most is. "Regionals" needs to have enough participants to justify the expense of putting on the event. I think thats only because we add too many self inflicted costs. First there is no need to have assigned judges and drivers.(Its nice and certainly prefered but does it have to be mandatory?) Use volunteer officials and save a lot. Also regionals should be allowed to be class C. This would enable a larger group of sites that may not have all the equipment and expertise to host the event.
  25. Would it require a AWSA rules change to allow the west region to sub divide? Allowing a region to sub divide regionals seems like an easier "experiment" then restructuring the entire BOD and AWSA structure. It also pushes the decision down and eliminates the hurdle of getting the AWSA BoD to agree on something so "different"
