Judges score the acts by awarding points based on execution, difficulty, spectator appeal and flow. Elaborate costumes and staging intermix with music and fast action on the water as an announcer leads the audience through the show.
The Division 1 Show Ski National Championships also features athletes competing for individual titles in swivel, doubles and multi-jumping acts.
The National Show Ski Association is one of nine sport disciplines of USA Water Ski, which was formed in 1939 as a non-profit organization promoting water skiing in the United States.
