Absolutely anyone that has ever gone to college and likes to ski. This tournament is just for fun and will be scored as all college alumni vs. all active college students. We'll take an average of number of buoys for each side to decide who's the best <*cough* actives>... The alumni did dominate the tournament last year, but this year we're coming back with a vengeance. If anyone wants to come and is traveling, call me and we'll get people to help however we can from airport pick-ups to lake transportation. My number is 817-658-3740. The cost to ski is $50 and this includes food and beverages of all sorts :), a Texas t-shirt for alumni, the two rounds of slalom and whatever tricking or jumping you want to do. For actives, we've decided to make the entry fee $15 to help cover everything, but we all know how broke we are :) This tournament is our big fundraiser of the year and its a lot of fun and skiing for $50 so everyone should come out and rehash their glory days in college. FOR EVERYONE: go to www.usawaterski.org, on the left side of the home page there is the link ATHLETES' RESOURCES, click it and it'll pull down a menu, then click on 2008 TOURNAMENT FORMS. Click on the Adult-Minor Waiver, print the page for the adult waiver, fill it out and bring it to the tournament. This will make registration go exponentially smoother. If you're getting the temporary insurance for the weekend, just make sure and show up at 8 a.m. and there's one form to fill out the morning of. FOR ACTIVES: make sure and bring proof of USA insurance, preferably your physical card FOR JUMPERS: on www.usawaterski.org, you can find a link for the full USA insurance required to jump. If you sign up, please put NCWSA as your secondary discipline, if AWSA is your first. Print the confirmation receipt and bring it with you. Please respond to this (if you haven't already RSVPed) and let me know if you're going to come out so I can figure out a ballpark of how many people are coming. If anyone has any questions or passed out midway through this email and needs more information, feel free to email me back or call at 817-658-3740. Hope to see everybody there- 4 weeks and counting!!!!!! -Kendyl Hardin- UT Alumni Chairperson |
