How
Do I Sanction My Event?
The sanction
process varies depending on the type of event you are hosting.
STARTING IN 2010, USA Water Ski requires the event organizer to submit an Event Sanctioning Agreement with all sanction applications. Additionally, a Pre-Tournament Safety
Checklist is required with
all tournament sanction applications.

hosting a water skiing (three-event), wakeboarding, collegiate water
skiing, barefooting, hydrofoiling or
kneeboarding tournament/clinic, you can complete your
