First, we want to thank Brad Saterlee for all the hours he puts into designing and overseeing the online tournament registration process. As we all know, technology doesn’t always cooperate!
Brad is currently working to upload all of the forms that Lake City Skiers requires for tournament registration, but Jotform is not cooperating, so we’re in the middle of troubleshooting the issue.

Once everything is working properly, registration will be opened and information will be distributed immediately.

The good news is that tournament registration and required paperwork will now be combined into a single submission, making the process easier for everyone. Registration will remain open for 7 days from the date it goes live.

We will announce the opening of registration through social media and will also send an email to every team in the Central Region.

To help your registration go smoothly, please have the following ready:
• USA Water Ski membership cards saved as PDFs for competitor, spotter/pinner, and drivers
• line up your dock help and have their USA Water Ski membership numbers ready to go.�• If your driver will be using a personal boat, please have copies of the boat registration and proof of insurance saved as PDFs and ready to upload.

Thank you for your patience as we work through the final details. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and look forward to seeing you at the tournament!

Thank you to everyone who came out to watch our show last night! Many of you braved the first rain and then a delay, only to get caught in another downpour later. That kind of dedication and support means the world to us.

We appreciate every person who stuck it out, cheered us on, and spent their evening with us despite the weather. Your support is what makes our community so special. Thank you for being there. We can’t wait to see you again at the lake! ☔️🌈🫶🏼
