Also before the Ski League on 7/1, pro skier Marcus Brown’s Face to Face Tour stops at the Berkeley Aquatic Park. Marcus and his crew will teach you the West coast slalom technique and introduce us to the latest in boats, skis, gear and personal fitness. The clinic will run from 9am to 4pm, then you can use your new skills to win the Ski League later that night! The cost is $150 per skier and will be limited to only 10 skiers. Contact Matt Brandt @ 510-421-6926 or matt_does_ski@hotmail.com to register. For more info on the tour and the clinic check out the following links: Face to Face Tour and Face to Face Tour Clinics

The system is designed to make event registration a breeze for the LOC and the participating athlete. Using OLR limits the hassle of paperwork, allowing the athlete to spend more time behind the boat and the LOC to focus on organizing a successful event. Memberships, entry fees, entry forms, event waivers and bios are handled electronically. 

For only $15 your club can take advantage of the following benefits: 

LOC Benefits of Using OLR 

Automatically verifies the athleteís membership 

Credit card payments are directed to the LOCís PayPal account, allowing immediate access to the funds (standard PayPal per-transaction fees apply) 

Stores event waivers electronically for the LOC 

Stores athlete bios, which can be viewed online or printed by the LOC 

Excel registration template file includes athletes who registered online; in addition to event and division information, other valuable data such as seeding values and qualifications, ramp height, boat speed and athlete’s weight can be provided when applicable 

Can view entry and payment status in a variety of formats 

Can input entries and track fees received for all athletes, including those who use mail-in entry forms

Once registered, athletes can instantly view their entry status online, including (where applicable) qualifications, membership, seeding, etc.

Due to the impact of Hurricane Gustav, the resulting widespread power outages, projected limited ability of accommodations, and uncertainties around air transportation into the greater New Orleans-Baton Rouge-Biloxi area, we regret to inform you that the Ski Nautique Big Dawg Qualifier #4 (Ski Ranch - Covington) has been cancelled.  
If you are a skier travelling via air transportation, please contact your relevant carrier as many have instituted special policies and programs for the affected areas (e.g. credits, deferment, etc).

On behalf of the tournament organizers & chief officials, we would like to thank all of the skiers for their active support of this event, as well as their thoughts / words in support of the recovery efforts for the Gulf Coast as a result of this storm. We hope to see many of you participating at other events in the future.

The tournament organizers & chief officials for this Big Dawg Qualifier are actively working with the relevant parties on an alternative qualification protocol for the upcoming Big Dawg Finals, September 27th-28th in Orlando, FL.  Once details have been finalized, the resulting qualifications will be made available to all 
skiers.
For more information or communication, please contact Nicole Baird at njg_b@yahoo.com
or leave a message at 985-807-6486.

If you try to use WSTIMS release 3.54 to score a tournament with a 09xxxx sanction ID, you will get a message telling you that the necessary tables for that sanction year are not present — in that case do not try to score that tournament with an 08 sanction prefix instead — doing so will result in incorrect scoring. Instead, you must obtain and use the new release 3.55 instead. Please be sure to pass this note along to other scorers in your area, if you have e-mail addresses that do not appear in the addressee list on this note.

Thanx !!
Dave Clark
