    Rider Classifications

    rider classifications and our next years class's have been topical
    Section 5 class of PWC & the attached is where we get our class's from roughly i presumea'
    .
    .
    personally i don't like the jump from Novice to Expert,,, may just be a play on words,
    but other race disciplines have a Clubmen or Intermediate grades before Pro's
    .
    .
    .
    Go the Grey Beard Masters

    Rider Classifications
    10.1 RIDER CLASSIFICATIONS
    10.1.1 The International Jet Sports Boating Association does not test the skill of
    individual participants in IJSBA-sanctioned events, nor does the Association
    judge each competitor’s competence. Participants are solely responsible for
    their safety.
    10.1.2 As a general policy, the IJSBA requires that riders be 16 years old or older
    for all competition classes except Junior 10-12 year old Ski Stock and Junior
    13-15 year old Ski Stock and Limited. Boating laws in some countries require
    higher age minimums or allow lower age limits. Refer to Section 23 and/or
    contact the local IJSBA International Affiliate for information about specific
    age requirements in each country. A birth certificate and/or passport shall
    be presented to substantiate age.
    10.1.3 The IJSBA and most IJSBA International Affiliates require that waiver of
    liability be signed by a parent or legal guardian if the competitor is under 18
    years old. A birth certificate and/or drivers license may be required to
    substantiate age.
    A Rider will represent his/her country of citizenship at the World Finals. In
    case of multiple citizenships, the country of residence will apply.
    10.1.4 Riders may have different skill classifications for Runabout/Sport and Ski
    divisions (i.e., an Expert Runabout racer may also be a Novice Ski racer).
    10.2 BEGINNER
    10.2.1 The Beginner class is provided as an entry-level class for new riders who
    wish to experience the fun of racing. It is open to all Novice competitors (see
    Section 10.3) who have competed in three or fewer races. In the case of a
    series, riders may compete in the entire series prior to moving to the Novice
    class. Otherwise, in a rider’s fourth race, he/she must compete in the Novice
    class.
    Beginner-class competitors may race Stock or Limited watercraft.
