"The new ski will feel better than anything you have tried before, will look like the one that will take you to the next level... until the ski realizes who is riding it..."

Because the scoring software shows it by default. If you see the tournament page, you would notice that there is not an Overall Team classification link in the left section.

Also, you can notice that the Overall is a separate tournament. 

There is no waterski team placement at the PanAms, it is a multi-sport event like the Olympics, where  countries win based on gold medals. So the choice makes all sense from a Team USA perspective. 

@rayn, at PanAm Games, the maximun number of skiers per country is 4, and USA has Regina, Anna, Erika and Nate. 

He did not go over the ramp. 

@Horton, this is a classic example of a rule that fails to achieve its intended purpose because of its poorly crafted wording and execution.

He will now. PanAm rules mandate  at least one Overall athlete in M and W. 

Yes. The run-off was due to Olympic/PanAm rules, where a maximum of 2 athletes per country can be in the Finals. 

@Horton, looks like there is a PanAm video app. Not sure if it shows all events. 

Nope, as it will be in open TV. 

Any ballers down here?

If you made all passes just after your second attempt, leave the ski as it is.   

@water_skier1, what is a normal training set in the course for you (speed progression and number of buoys in each pass)?

Pending new U17 WR

You enjoyed this tv commercial…

@Horton  the overwhelming choices behind the nautique is either A2 or C1. I personally don’t know anyone using B. 

Interesting… Everyone here shares this view? If so, I might thing testing something other than B. 

For sure the Miranda family have been and are a cornerstone of it. But it is also the combined effort of several families and actors.
 

When I see comments on our sport dying and that someone should do something (especially that rules for tournaments should change…) I always think about what we have achieved in Chile, by doing rather than waiting for something to be done by someone else.
 

Doing in our sport is teaching kids (and adults), helping and judging in tournaments, building lakes. Anyone can do at least some of that, and if many do, the results will show. 

Congrats to Team Chile for the 2nd place, showing that, with hard sustained work, a small and remote country can compete against the best.  

@Horton, that is tempting. Only USD 10 per Panda!

Too early and not enough coffee sounds awfully like aftermath from what @Bruce_Butterfield mentions.
