IJSBA is pleased to release an updated World Finals schedule.  First, please note the schedule for Monday, October 2:

11:00 AM- Riders' briefing and course demonstration at the grandstands.

12:00 PM- Practice begins

Before we share an updated schedule, we have a couple of things we would like to put out there for discussion.  Parents, we love you.  All of us, at IJSBA, had parents and most of us are parents.  We know the sacrifices and workload that it takes to participate in PWC Racing and, especially, in the World Finals.  Kids have to miss school, parents have to miss work, there are make up days, there is money to be spent, there is a lot going on and it is tough.  We respect and appreciate everything you go through to bring yourselves and your kids to the event.  IJSBA is grateful to have dedicated persons who do so much to bring watercraft racing to another generation.

But, folks, we need to have a discussion about preregistering for World Finals and having a timely check in even after you have preregistered.  It is hard to set schedules when you do not preregister for World Finals.  There are very few options for trying to pressure you in to pre-registering; we can jack up the on site fees ($20 really isn't much), we can penalize the participant for not preregistering (such as making you go straight to the LCQ), or we can outright close participation in the event.  None of these are things we want to do and, the truth be told, we are unlikely to get too extreme over the matter.  But, the system isn't working all that well and we need to work together to improve the situation.  So please take this message as a request to really think about what we can all do, together, to encourage preregistration and signing up for check in earlier in the day.  Thank you for the time in considering this.

Here is the updated schedule:
