Qualifying
In Summary:
- To be eligible to enter to compete in a class at the 2014 Jettribe World Finals, you must have competed in an IJSBA Sanctioned Closed Course Race in 2014. To enter without being an alternate, you must have competed, in the same class, in at least two events to register for that class at World Finals.
- If you were a 2013 World Finals competitor and you have a compelling reason that you did not compete in 2014 (races cancelled, temporary medical, family emergency, etc.) then you may submit these reason(s) to IJSBA in consideration for being an alternate.
- If you have competed in every race of a series (ie UWP/IJSBA Tour, Thai Watercross Series, The Alpen Adria Cup, etc.), all races held by your regional promoter (R5 Watercross, Great Lakes, etc.), or all races held by the national affiliate then you will not be denied a slot in the class(es) in which you competed.
- The closing date for qualification is September 29, 2014.
- You may not qualify for closed course racing by competing solely in endurance racing or freestyle events.
Refunds
A competitor is purchasing an entry in a competition class consisting of limited spaces. By entering the 2014 World Finals you are requesting the exclusive right to occupy one of the allocated slots in that particular class. Because that slot is no longer available for purchase, irrespective of whether you racer the class, there shall be no refunds once an entry has been made.
The no refund policy is subject to appeal to the IJSBA but will only be granted when there are very compelling reasons to do so. The IJSBA may require proof of such reasons.
The $75 grounds fee is not refundable under any circumstances.
Membership
All participants at the 2014 World Finals must be current IJSBA or IJSBA-sanctioned Affiliate competition members. Both the participant and the Affiliate must have current status. Participants must be prepared to show proof of membership at rider check-in.
If you do not have proof of membership such as a membership card, receipt issued by an IJSBA-sanctioned Affiliate, or receipt issued by an IJSBA-sanctioned promoter, you will be required to pay a $45 non-refundable fee for membership valid only for racing in the USA. Be prepared with proof of membership!
Mandatory Grounds Fee
Each participant at the 2014 World Finals is required to pay a non-refundable $75 mandatory grounds fee. The fee is for use of the pit area from our hosts, Crazy Horse Resort and Campground.
