How a race is ran:
* Boats are set up into the five classes shown above. Anything over 2mph over your class is an
automatic disqualification.
* All types of watercraft are encouraged to participate. Therefore special classes may be added
to the race if needed in an effort not to eliminate anyone (i.e. jet skis, family runabouts).
* Boats are paired up randomly for each class in double elimination heats.
* Race pairs are lined up at a starting line (course set up with anchored buoys).
* Race heats are official after starting flag is raised by starter.
* During a race heat, boats must not cross the finish line on the "wrong" side of the center line buoy.
Boat "A" must not enter boat "B's" lane, or visa versa or go outside any marked lanes doing so
will result in a loss for that heat.
* The "Black Flag" will be used to clearly identify any racer that does not comply with the rules and regulations
set forth by the UMPBA. You will get one warning, the next infraction and your done racing.
* Finish line video equipment can be used to help the finish line judge determine the winner of each race heat.
* All decisions made by the starting/finish line judge are final.
* The Awards ceremony will be after the race course has been picked up and brought in, we would like as
much participation as possible as the winner's deserve the recognition.
