Riding Rules

 

Blocking or Reckless/ Dangerous Riding

The deliberate blocking of a faster machine is cause for Disqualification or a one lap penalty at the discretion of the Race Committee. Any reckless/dangerous riding, unnecessary bumping, crowding, chopping, blocking, deliberate striking, breaking a course Marker buoy or unsportsmanlike conduct on the course or off may subject the rider to Disqualification and other sanctions and if in the case of a team effort, the complete team may be penalised.

CONTROL OF THE PWC DURING PRACTICE AND RACE

 It is forbidden to ride a PWC in a direction opposite to which the event is being run. A rider who has spun out is permitted to turn the PWC around and to continue provided such action is taken only when the course is clear and must give the right of way to other riders on the course. Riders running in the wrong direction will be disqualified.

OBSTRUCTION

 If for any reason, a rider is forced to stop on or near the course during a heat, it is the rider’s first duty to remove the PWC from the course so not to endanger or obstruct other riders.

ACCIDENTS

 No rider or representative thereof shall hold any other rider or representative liable for any personal injuries or damage resulting from an accident or racing occurring in a sanctioned race.

Outside Assistance

The Rider that has fallen and has been brought back on his PWC can continue the race. If a Rider Gets Towed back to the pits, he/she will not be allowed to re-enter the moto. The rider that has some mechanical issues can go back on shore to get assistance under the control of Scrutineer tech and resume his moto.

Finished Moto 

Once the riders have finished their moto (completed all laps and passed checkered flag) they are to ride around the most outer edge of the track with a reduced speed. No high speed manoeuvers, no stopping at all, no overtaking or race like behaviour, only to navigate around in a safe like manner. They will complete this route only once (1 lap format) until the last of the riders have passed the checkered flag and then they will approach the pit area safely and slowly once directed by the water marshal’s.
