Officials Clinics
Become a certified official and learn and support the sport you love!
The WSWBC Officials Program provides resources, training and certification for officials at all levels from club tournaments to National competition. Participation as an official ensures our athletes have an opportunity to compete fairly and equitably with other athletes at towed water sports tournaments.
Water Ski & Wakeboard BC has the responsibility to recruit and train officials at the entry level, and will hold, from time to time, as demand warrants, training clinics for new and developing officials. These clinics will provide opportunities for Judges, Boat Drivers, Calculators, and Technical Controllers.

WATER SKI OFFICIALS
The program for classic, three event competition, has several roles for officials, including judges, boat drivers, calculators (scorers) , technical controllers (homologators), and Chief of Competition.
Judges ensure the competition on the field of play, is run according to the rules of the event and sanctioning body (WSWC or IWSF), and is scored fairly.
Boat Drivers are required to operate the towboats, with a high degree of skill and consistency.
Calculators track and document the scores achieved by the athletes.
Technical Controllers ensure the technical specifications of the site and of all associated equipment meet the Rules.
Finally, the Chief of Competition has the responsibility to oversee and run the entire event.
