The deadline for registering and submitting a video for the 2020 Online WRS Series Event #1 is coming up: June 15, 2020 at 23:00 EDT. Don’t miss the deadline!
This first event of the Online WRS Series is a very important competition opportunity:
You can compete with other athletes all over the world.
Ride your own wave behind your own boat in your favorite water.
WRS points are awarded to all Divisions based on your finish order.
For Juniors, Amateurs and Masters, your current WRS score and rank is the average of your top 3 score values during the competition season, which may include your 2020 PBP.
For Pros and Outlaw, the current score and rank is the average of your top 4 score values during the competition season, which may include your 2020 PBP.
Your WRS rank is one of the keys to qualifying for an invitation to the 2020 World Wake Surfing Championship.
Yes, you read it right.
The 2020 World Wake Surfing Championship.
Time for the good news.
The official and only Centurion Boats 2020 World Wake Surfing Championship be held this year on October 1, 2 and 3, 2020.
Yes, you read it right.
But so many events have been cancelled, how can I qualify to be invited to Worlds?
This first 2020 Online WRS Series Event #1 is a great start to build your WRS ranking.
Even though many live events have been cancelled, but the CWSA will be offering competition opportunities, both live and additional online events, to allow athletes from all over the world to qualify to be invited to Worlds.
Next week we will be announcing the details about those additional online competition events, which combined with the live events on the calendar will assure that EVERY competitor in EVERY skill level in EVERY country will have the opportunity to meet the qualification criteria and be invited to the 2020 World Wake Surfing Championship.
For a start on that, the details of 2020 Online WRS Series Event # 2 will be announced and registration will open on June 16.
But what about Worlds? How will that work in this crazy Covid-19 time? The CWSA has a plan for that, that plan includes crowning 2020 World Champions in all skill levels, and that plan does not include riding behind your own boat.
More details on this coming very soon.
