2.2 Scoring Format
• Assign point value, which reflects the difficulty of each squirt boat move
• Each move is only counted once
• Total variety score = technical score is sum of point value for all moves
• Vertically - all moves performed must be 70 degrees to 110 degrees to score as a vertical except washouts and mystery moves
• Split wheels must be performed off the bow with a 180 degree rotation along the axis
• Trophy move is available and decided on site with judges discretion
• Mystery moves (multiplier) Scale 1-10 with multiplier as (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3….. 1.9, 2.0)
• Style points
o Mystery Style 1-5
o Flat water style 1-5
Total Possible 10
2.3 Scoring Calculation
• Technical score + style score is combined for a base score
• The mystery score of 1-10 is then transposed to a decimal system 1.1, 1.2,1.3…1.9, 2.0
• The base score is then multiplied by the mystery score for the final score
2.4 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 scorable moves listed. The competitor would be allowed two 60 second rides, top score counts. The mystery move would be done on suitable eddy line. The competitor would get 5 rides, all count.
2.5 Scoring Style
• The style score will have a total possible weight of 15 pts, broken down into the areas of flat-water style (1-10) and mystery style (1-5). This will be a subjective score, based on judges’ assessment of the overall quality of each portion of the ride. Form breaks will be penalized heavily, while smoothness will be rewarded.
• Flat water - a perfect score of 10 would require a seamless and dynamic ride with no form breaks, which takes advantage of all available features (i.e. eddy line and flat water). Roll, extra strokes, choppy transitions, etc. would all detract from the quality of the ride, and points would be taken away accordingly.
• Mystery - a perfect score of 5 would be awarded to a rider who demonstrates a controlled and intentional charc going into the move, obvious control while down, and control on exit.
