  7.0
  Scoring Format Surface Boat
  
  7.1 Technical
  (optional)
  
  
• The use of Technical Scoring is to be determined at least 30 Days before the event
  
• by the organiser and chief judge.
  
• Technical judges award points for every complete 180 degree rotation in the hole or
  
• on the wave and the points vary with the level of verticality as outlined below:
  
• Flat: 1 point (Flat = 0 to 45 degrees)
  
• Elevated: 2 points (Off vertical = 45 to 70 degrees and 110 to 135 degrees)
  
• Vertical: 4 points (70 degrees to 110 degrees)
  
  
• 7.2
  Variety See Appendix 2.
  
• Competitors perform moves from the Variety Moves list. See Appendix 2.
  
• Variety judges award EACH move ONCE ONLY per side ( R or L. F or B ) per ride.
  
  
• 7.3 Huge
  Bonus
  
• When any move gets huge air, then the variety judge can award a huge bonus of 50
  
• points. This can only be awarded once per move ( right or left. front or back ) on the
  variety list.
  
  7.4
  Score = Technical (optional) + Variety + Huge Bonus
  
  7.5
  Qualification of Moves
  
  
• Entry moves must start from upstream of the hole/wave - The time will start once the
  
• boat makes contact with the hole/wave.
  
• The competitor may re-enter the hole/wave as many times as they like during the 45-
  
• second time period.
  
  
• All moves must be landed in the pile of the hole or on the wave to count. If the
  
• paddler lands the move in the pile or on the wave but then flushes the move still
  counts.
  
  
• Scored Moves: Moves that can be done front/back or left/right will be scored both
  
• ways unless otherwise stated in the variety moves list appendix 2.
  
  
• Cartwheels: To score as a variety point, cartwheels (left and right) cannot include the
  
• ends of a split wheel as one of the two ends. If a split wheel has already been
  awarded for variety in that run, the ends will count as part of the Cartwheel Variety
  Score. This only applies to Variety Judges. In other words, if a competitor does a left-
  right Split linked to just one end to the right, the first time they do it successfully, they
  get variety for Split wheel but not for right Cartwheel. The second time they do it, they
  get variety for right Cartwheel. Of course, if they do a left-right Split linked to two ends
  to the right, they get variety for both Split and right Cartwheel. If the extra end
  happens before the Split, the Split is still counted for variety and the Cartwheel is not
  (until the split wheel has been counted for variety). The Split wheel therefore takes
  precedent over Cartwheels. It takes four ends to do a split wheel and a cartwheel.
  
  
• When any greater value move is performed twice or more, then the lesser value
  
• variety move is also attained. i.e. Where two air loops are performed, an air loop is
  awarded and a loop is also.
  
  
• This includes cartwheel, clean cartwheel and super clean cartwheel. Loop and air
  
• loop. Blunt, clean blunt and air blunt. Spin, clean spin and super clean spin.
  
  
• A paddler performing a 12 point super clean cartwheel would score superclean
  
• cartwheel, clean cartwheel, cartwheel, superclean spin, clean spin, spin.
  
  8.0 Judging-Surface Boat
  
  
• Each Country competing must provide assistants and judges relevant to their team
  
• size.
  3 - 9 Athletes: 1 assistant.
  10 19 Athletes: 1 assistant and 1 judge.
  20+ Athletes: 1 assistant, 1 judge and 1 assistant or judge.
  
• One scribe assigned to each judge all overseen by the Chief judge.
  
• 
  8.1 Judges Where Technical is used.
  
  
• 2 Technical Judges average of two scores will count
  
• 2 Variety Judges - average of two scores will count
  
• 1 Chief Judge overseas all judges and scribes
  
• 
  8.2 Judges Variety Only
  
  
• 3 Variety Judges - average of all three scores will count
  
• 1 Chief Judge overseas all judges and scribes
  
  
• 8.3 Chief Judge responsibilities
  
• The chief judge is in charge of the area and no one is allowed overrule his or
  
• her command.
  
• Over sees the judging panel, scribes and scoring system
  
• Ensures consistency and fair play
  
• Will direct the timekeeper/commentator as necessary.

• Be part of any protest panel.
  
• Officially view any video evidence.
  
• Vote on any issues.
  
• 
  8.4 Judging Criteria
  
• As each ride is performed, the judges verbally instruct the variety moves or technical
  
• points scored to their scribe who records on to the score sheet or electronic device as
  instructed.
  
  9.0 Scoring Format - Squirt Boat
  9.1 Format
  
• Run time will start when the competitor initiates or attempts the first scoreable move.
  
• For events on a wave, the time starts once the paddler crosses the wave's lateral
  
• The same boat must be used for all rides
  
• No alterations may be made to a boat between rides
  
• Weights or adding water to the boat is not allowed
  
• Preliminary Round
  
• One practice ride per competitor before this round starts
  
• Each competitor has three 60 second runs
  
• Preliminaries best two rides count
  
• Top 10 men competitors advance to the Semi Finals
  
• Top 10 women competitors advance to the Semi Finals
  
• Semi-Finals
  
• One practice ride per competitor before this round starts
  
• 2 Rides Best ride counts
  
• Top 5 Men competitors advance to the finals
  
• Top 5 Women competitors advance to the finals
  
• Finals
  
• One practice ride per competitor before the finals start
  
• All 5 competitors do one ride, lowest scoring competitor is eliminated
  
• All 4 competitors do one ride, lowest scoring competitor is eliminated
  
• All 3 competitors do one ride, lowest scoring competitor is eliminated
  
• Both competitors left do one ride, the top scoring competitor is Champion
  
• 
  9.2 Tie Breaking
  
• If there is a tie for the cut off placed paddler going through to the semis or finals then
  
• the non-counting ride counts.
  
• If they are still equal the highest move scored counts.
  
• If again they are still equal then the highest number of different moves decides the tie.
  
• If there is still a tie then both go through.
  
• 
  9.3 Tie Breaking In The Final
  
• If there is a loosing tie in the knockout finals both competitors will have another run.
  
• The best scoring paddler of the tie goes through.
  9.4 Scoring Format
  
• Each move is only scored once on each side ( right or left. Front or back).
  
• Paddlers are judged for variety ( see moves list for values appendix 3 ), style, and
  
• mystery moves.
  
• Vertically all moves performed must be 70 degrees to 110 degrees to score as a
  
• vertical move except for washouts and mystery moves.
  
• Past Vertical - all past vertical moves performed must be 110 degrees to 150 degrees
  
• to score.
  
• Split wheels must be performed off the bow with a 180 degree rotation along the axis
  
• A trophy move is awardable at the head judge's discretion for new moves. The points
  
• awarded reflect the difficulty of the move performed.
  
• Each paddler is awarded a Mystery Move multiplier of 1.0 to 2.0 divided into tenths ie
  
• 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc... The score is dependant on depth, time and control of move.
  
• Each paddler is awarded a Style bonus of 10 to 100 points divided into tenths ie 10.
  
• 20. 30. 40 etc... A smooth flowing run is required for a high score with few or no form
  breaks ( ie rolls, trips, forward paddling etc... )
  9.5 Scoring Calculation
  
• Total score = Mystery Move Multiplier x ( Variety + Style )
  
• 9.6 Alternative scoring format if the eddy adjacent to the mystery seam is unsuitable
  for flat water competition
  
  If the competition venue supports a mystery seam, but the eddy is unsuitable for the flat water
  / eddy line competition (too shallow), an alternative scoring format may be used. The flat-
  water competition would be judged as usual in an appropriate location using the move scores
  listed. The competitor would be allowed three 60 second runs, with the best two scores
  counting. The mystery move event would be carried out on a suitable eddy line. Each
  competitor would get 5 rides, all count, and be judged for quality of move only ( max score 50
  points per run. See appendix 3 for mystery move description)
  9.7 Judges
  
• There will be four judges including one head judge. Two will award variety and the
  
• other two will award the style bonus and mystery move multiplier.
