| Big Dawg Qualifier #2 at Bellalago Lake
Unlike the Professionals, the 34 MPH skiers only have one important tournament a year, the Nationals, and at the Nationals they are fragmented, Men's 3, Men's 4, Open 34, and a few Men's 5. Bottom line, there are many skiers that are within a few buoys of each other however they are divided into four divisions. Consequently, we really don't know WHO IS THE BEST 34 MPH SKIER IN THE
WORLD? We all know who is the best 36 MPH skier, but 34????????? When: July 15 & 16, 2006
Entry fee: $200.00 Entry Limit: 50 paid Entry Deadline: July 14, 2006 Sanctioning: Class E Notes:
I am now accepting $75.00 paid entries from other divisions not
listed in the guide. These skiers
will not be eligible for the finals on Sunday, they will get 2 rounds of
Class E Slalom Skiing on Saturday only for $75.00. But stick around
for the exciting Head to Head finals on Sunday, you won't regret it. Appointed Drivers: Dana Reed, Greg Davis Chief Judge: Bill Murbach Chief Scorer: Teresa Branson Technical
Controller: TBA

Only Men 3 thru Men 6 who have not placed in the top 10 in a pro tournament in the past 3 years, or who are over age 50 are eligible for the Sweet Sixteen.
The top eight (8) single scores from the 2 round record on Saturday will be seeded 1 - 8.
In the event of a tie in qualifying for the top 8 seeds (and for seeding), we will use the 2nd best single score from the qualifying rounds.
The top eight (8) accumulative scores from the 2 rounds on Saturday will be seeded 9 -16.
(For example, if you score 62 buoys and 64 buoys in the 2 rounds of record, your accumulative score is 126 buoys).
In the event of a tie in qualifying for 9th - 16th seeds (and for seeding), we will use the best single score and then the 2nd best single score from the qualifying rounds.
*Note: All scoring is based on the AWSA Buoy Count Scoring System*

How to qualify for the 2006 Big Dawg Championship:
The top 8 skiers from each BDQ will advance to the Championship. The Championship can host 50 skiers, so the balance of skiers will be invited as follows: the first 50% of openings based on best single scores, and the second 50% based on best cumulative scores. Any ties will be broken by back-up scores from another BDQ.
