2008 Regional Records go to the “over
30” Crowd
By Bob Mayhew, EVP
11 November 2008 |
| Well, not all of the new records went
to the over 30 crowd, but six of the 10 did and the rest went to
Brittany Greenwood and Tyler Scott. Terry Hanson, Bob Mayhew,
Margaret Ann Woodard, Don Butcher and Chad Scott all bumped existing
records that they held a few more notches. |
 |
However, Paul Armour
(Men 5) is new to the current list and has pushed the Men V jump
record out there to 134 ft, a performance from the Princeton Jump
Fest in September.
Talent for these performances lies within all of us and is
expressed, sometimes, at unanticipated moments. Carl Peterson
(Men 9) did not come to Nationals this year with the intent on
winning the slalom event (and overall) but he was definitely on his
game at that tournament. I was the boat judge for his slalom event
and he started
 the
set anticipating a score less than the final result. But, he would
get in the course and just keep turning around the buoys in
text-book fashion. It was at the end of each pass where you knew
that he had not planned for this many passes – think “blue lips.”
“Carl, we’ve got to go” I would say, “take a deep breath” and he
would score 6 more buoys. It was a memorable session. |

Video Of
Freddy Krueger's Pending World Record Posted On Web
UASWaterSki, November 5.0208 |
U.S. water ski athlete Freddy Krueger set a
pending men's world jumping record last Sunday at the McCormick Fall
Open at McCormick Lakes in Seffner, Fla. Krueger, 33, jumped 247
feet (75.2 meters) on his third and final attempt of the
tournament. If approved by the International Water Ski Federation's
Technical Committee, the mark will surpass Krueger's current world
record of 243 feet (74.2 meters) set at McCormick Lakes in October
2006. To view the video of Krueger's pending world-record jump on

WSTIMS - Note
for 2009 Season |
Early this week it was brought to my attention that
M3 overall scores from the 2009 NOPS calculator did not match what
WSTIMS reports, for the trick event. After some deeper exploration, we
discovered that the problem is more widespread than just M3, and affects
some of the other divisions as well. Bottom line, as of today 19 Sep
2008, the 2009 NOPS calculator that comes bundled with WSTIMS release
3.55 is fully accurate and correct. Further, the Overall scores that you
will find posted on the Rankings website from any tournaments with
09xxxx sanction ID's, are also accurate and correct. But the NOPS scores
you will find in WSTIMS scoring reports for many divisions in tricks,
are NOT always correct. Since there are only a couple of weeks left in
the season, and a new WSTIMS release will be coming out next spring
anyways, it's not practical to get a new release out to everybody yet
this fall. So the purpose of this note is to alert you of this
situation, and that you CAN look at the Overall scores shown on the
ranking website or from the NOPS calculator and count on those. The
WSTIMS SY 2009 tables were evidently not fully updated and is the source
of the problem. If any of you have an upcoming event where it would be
important to get accurate AWSA NOPS points as the event runs, please
contact me and I can arrange to get you a copy of the revised
DRTUSA09.DAT table, which will fix this problem. Otherwise, just get a
copy of the Spring 2009 update when the time comes. Sorry for the
inconvenience.
You must download, install and
use the new release 3.55,
which is now available,
