Same boat must be used for all rides
No alterations may be made to a boat between rides.
Weights or adding water to the boat is not allowed
Starting and performance location will be the contestant’s choice that are in view of the judges.
7.1 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 preformed must be 70 degrees to 110 degrees to score as a vertical except washouts and mystery moves.
Splitwheels must be performed off the bow with a 180 degree rotation along the long axis
Trophy move is available and decided on site with judges discretion
E.g. flying fish, underwater loops and unarmed bandit
Mystery moves (multiplier) Scale 1-10 with multiplier as (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 …..1.9, 2.0)
Style points: Mystery style 1-5
Flat water Style 1-5
Total Possible 10
7.2 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.
7.3 Scoring Mystery Moves
1 - Mystery not attempted or attempted but failed
2 - Boat un-sustained
3 - Boat sustained
4 - Chest deep un-sustained
5 - Chest deep sustained
6 - Shoulder deep un-sustained
7 - Shoulder deep sustained
8 - Head under mystery with controlled exit
9 - Sustained head under mystery with controlled exit
10 - Multiple sustained head under mysteries with
controlled exits
7.4 Scoring Style
The style score will have a total possible weight of 15 points, broken down into the areas of flatwater 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.
Flatwater - a perfect score of 10 would require a seamless and dynamic ride with no form breaks, that takes advantage of all available features (i.e. eddyline and flatwater). Rolls, 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 the exit.
7.5 Moves List - Appendix 2
Appendix 1 - Variety Moves List – Surface Boat

Definitions to the table above
Scored Moves: Moves that can be done front/back or left and right will be scored both ways unless otherwise stated in the descriptions above.
Cartwheels: To score as a variety point, cartwheels (left and right) cannot include the ends of a split wheel as one of the two ends. If a split wheel has already been awarded for variety in that run, the ends will count as part of the Cartwheel Variety Score. This only applies to Variety Judges. In other words, if a competitor does a left-right Split linked to just one end to the right, the first time they do it successfully, they get variety for Split wheel but not for right Cartwheel. The second time they do it, they get variety for right Cartwheel. Of course, if they do a left-right Split linked to two ends to the right, they get variety for both Split and right Cartwheel. If the extra end happens before the Split, the Split is still counted for variety and the Cartwheel is not (until the split wheel has been counted for variety). The Split wheel therefore takes precedent over Cartwheels.
To score variety: Cartwheels must have two consecutive ends that are at least 45° elevated. Clean Spin means one half of the 360 is without the blade in the water. In C-1 and OC-1 the blade must be out of the water for one of the 180's to count as Clean (using one stroke that continues across the bow does not count as Clean). Aerial Blunts are usually Clean (no stroke on the second end). They couldn't count for both Clean Cartwheel.
When any greater value move is performed more than twice, then the lesser value variety move is also attained. i.e. 2 Air loops are performed, an air loop is attained and a loop is also attained. This includes cartwheel, clean and super clean. Loop and air loop. Blunt, clean and air blunt. Spin and super clean spin.
Air Moves: Any Clear Air with a 180 degree change of direction will be given 4 Tech points

Time will Start when the Competitor initiates or attempts the first scorable move.
For the wave the time starts once you cross the lateral
Same boat must be used for all rides
No alterations may be made to a boat between rides.
Weights or adding water to the boat is not allowed
Starting and performance location will be the contestant’s choice that are in view of the judges.
7.1 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 preformed must be 70 degrees to 110 degrees to score as a vertical except washouts and mystery moves.
Splitwheels must be performed off the bow with a 180 degree rotation along the long axis
Trophy move is available and decided on site with judges discretion
E.g. flying fish, underwater loops and unarmed bandit
Mystery moves (multiplier) Scale 1-10 with multiplier as (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 …..1.9, 2.0)
Style points: Mystery style 1-5
Flat water Style 1-5
Total Possible 10
7.2 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.
7.3 Scoring Mystery Moves
1 - Mystery not attempted or attempted but failed
2 - Boat un-sustained
3 - Boat sustained
4 - Chest deep un-sustained
5 - Chest deep sustained
6 - Shoulder deep un-sustained
7 - Shoulder deep sustained
8 - Head under mystery with controlled exit
9 - Sustained head under mystery with controlled exit
10 - Multiple sustained head under mysteries with
controlled exits
7.4 Scoring Style
The style score will have a total possible weight of 15 points, broken down into the areas of flatwater 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.
Flatwater - a perfect score of 10 would require a seamless and dynamic ride with no form breaks, that takes advantage of all available features (i.e. eddyline and flatwater). Rolls, 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 the exit.
7.5 Moves List - Appendix 2
Appendix 1 - Variety Moves List – Surface Boat
Value Moves Scored Description
1.5 Trophy Move Left & Right A spectacular new move.
1.25 Helix Left & Right A 360 degree spin with at least 180 degrees of which must be performed inverted at 135 degrees or more. The move must be initiated on a wave or wave shoulder. The competitor’s head and shoulders may contact the water, but the boat must be aerial through the inverted 180 degrees part of the move. The move must be completed to an upright front surfing position on the shoulder of the wave.
Clean Back Blunt/Stab Left & Right Elevated 180 degree rotation on green water at an angle greater than 45 degrees, clear of the foam pile, where the competitor does not use a stroke to initiate and rotates around the stern of the boat
Aerial Back Blunt/Stab Left & Right Elevated 180 degrees rotation on green water at an angle greater than 45 degrees, clear of the foam pile, where the competitor rotates around the stern of the boat, which becomes airborne for part of the move
1.0 Air Screw/Donkey Flip Left & Right Aerial barrel roll performed above the surface, front surf to front surf. Boat and body must be aerial for 180 degrees of the 360 degree rotation.
Pan Am Left & Right A past vertical aerial blunt, boat must go inverted and rotate 180 degrees and finish upright.
Air Loop
Front/back & back/front) Two consecutive ends over 70 degrees where the boat remains at a right angle to the direction water flow which becomes airborne for part of the move
Tricky Woo Left & Right A three ended sequence - two ends must be over 70 degrees and the other over 45 degrees. The entire sequence is performed using one paddle blade only. The first end is initiated on the bow one way. The second tail end is split back and rotated through 180 degrees. The third bow end is followed through in the same direction as the first.
Space Godzilla Left & Right An aerial loop with a 90º rotation between ends. Both ends must be over 70º.
Matrix Left & Right A two-ended sequence started with a vertical tail squirt in the hole with 360º rotation into an elevated bow, using 1 blade. Both ends must be over 70 degrees.
Clean Blunt Left & right Elevated 180 degree rotation on green water at an angle greater than 45 degrees where the competitor rotates around the bow of the boat and does not use an initiation stroke
Aerial Blunt Left & Right Elevated 180 degrees rotation on green water at an angle greater than 45 degrees, clear of the foam pile, where the competitor rotates around the bow of the boat, which becomes airborne for part of the move
0.75 Kickflip Left & Right An entry move when the boat enters the feature and gets aerial from the peak of the feature. Barrel rolling, landing and retaining the feature. Boat and body must be clear of the feature for 180 degrees (inverted part) of the barrel roll.
Sidekick/Flipturn Left & Right An aerial short axis rotation (tilt) of over 90 deg (like a table-top) performed with a 45 – 90 deg long axis rotation.
Back Blunt/Stab Left & Right Elevated 180 degrees rotation on green water at an angle greater than 45 degrees, clear of the foam pile, where the competitor rotates around the stern of the boat.
Super Clean Cartwheel (Minimum two ends linked no paddle or hand touch) Left & Right Two consecutive ends in the same rotational direction, with no stroke, and both ends at an angle greater than 45 degrees
Loop
Front/back & back/front) Two consecutive ends over 70 degrees where the boat remains at a right angle to the direction water flow
0.50
Blunt Left & Right Elevated 180 degrees rotation on green water at an angle greater than 45 degrees, clear of the foam pile, where the competitor rotates around the bow of the boat.
Super Clean Spin Left & Right 360 degree rotation of the boat with no stroke at a 0-45 degree angle
Clean Cartwheel (No paddle or hand touch) Left & Right Two consecutive ends in the same rotational direction, with one stroke, and both ends at an angle greater than 45 degrees
Split wheel (One end must be vertical) Left & Right Two consecutive ends, with a change of direction in between each. One end of more than 45 degrees, and one with more than 70 degrees
0.25
Clean spin (No paddle or hand touch) One Way Only 360-degree rotation of the boat with one stroke at a 0-45 degree angle.
Pirouette (must land upright) Left & Right 360 degree rotation at an elevation greater than 70 degrees, on the bow or stern
Cartwheel (Two ends minimum.) Left & Right Two consecutive ends in the same rotational direction, with both ends at an angle greater than 45 degrees
Definitions to the table above
Scored Moves: Moves that can be done front/back or left and right will be scored both ways unless otherwise stated in the descriptions above.
Cartwheels: To score as a variety point, cartwheels (left and right) cannot include the ends of a split wheel as one of the two ends. If a split wheel has already been awarded for variety in that run, the ends will count as part of the Cartwheel Variety Score. This only applies to Variety Judges. In other words, if a competitor does a left-right Split linked to just one end to the right, the first time they do it successfully, they get variety for Split wheel but not for right Cartwheel. The second time they do it, they get variety for right Cartwheel. Of course, if they do a left-right Split linked to two ends to the right, they get variety for both Split and right Cartwheel. If the extra end happens before the Split, the Split is still counted for variety and the Cartwheel is not (until the split wheel has been counted for variety). The Split wheel therefore takes precedent over Cartwheels.
To score variety: Cartwheels must have two consecutive ends that are at least 45° elevated. Clean Spin means one half of the 360 is without the blade in the water. In C-1 and OC-1 the blade must be out of the water for one of the 180's to count as Clean (using one stroke that continues across the bow does not count as Clean). Aerial Blunts are usually Clean (no stroke on the second end). They couldn't count for both Clean Cartwheel.
When any greater value move is performed more than twice, then the lesser value variety move is also attained. i.e. 2 Air loops are performed, an air loop is attained and a loop is also attained. This includes cartwheel, clean and super clean. Loop and air loop. Blunt, clean and air blunt. Spin and super clean spin.
Air Moves: Any Clear Air with a 180 degree change of direction will be given 4 Tech points
