Rule 10 - OFFICIALS

10.1: Jury

Prior to the start of each day of the tournament the Chief of Competition shall appoint a jury of not less than five officials from those to be involved in the tournament.

10.2: Judges Voting

Unless otherwise specified in the rules, every vote of the Jury or the event judges shall be decided by a simple majority vote. In the event of a tie vote by the Jury, the Chief of Competition shall be entitled to cast a tie breaking vote.

10.3: Judges Positioning

Where practical, event judges in the trick event shall be separated to ensure completely independent opinions.

10.4: Conflict of Interest

In RC events, no individual can act as an official in positions that include boat driver, boat judge/official and official timer, if a member of his/her immediate family is competing in that event.

10.5: Philosophy of Tolerances

All tolerances are to allow for human error and the intentional use of tolerances by tournament officials to improve skier performance will not be tolerated. In any activity involving the performance of an official where tolerance is involved, it is the official's responsibility to attempt to be as close as possible to the actual specifications.
