Where are collegiate nationals going to be?

The board has not decided yet. I will make sure there is a post once we have all worked it out.

I vote for warm weather, last year was too cold.

Hopefully they post a format since it seems each region had a different one.

Brice - lets get the emails going to the board so we can do the press releases done. Jeff it will be warmer<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>

my vote goes to Set-X Lake in Beaumont, TX i ride for LSU and we didn't even qualify this year. but we loved Set X-Lake it was a great tournament spot and it is very spectator friendly. no need for hotels, because you camp out on the lake. regionals was a lot of fun this year mostly due to the location (Message edited by adamsilcio on December 05, 2008)

Sweet, I'll check it out. Since we are still working very closely with CSTV so that the Nationals event will be televised, we work with them and other sports to find locations where multiple events can be hosted so that the nightmare that is TV production (trucks, cameras, etc) can be minimalized while getting the best possible venues for the athletes.

thanks for keeping the love alive in collegiate wakesports. hope to see y'all in texas.

OK, so any official news yet??? Dates??? Loaction???

Went to San Diego to check out the site. Very protected. Lots of beach. Great viewing. This site will look good on TV. Here are some pics<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/102954/669992.jpg" alt="Upload"> <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/102954/669993.jpg" alt="Upload">

I notice there is a ski jump on this lake. Does this mean it is a shallow waterski lake? Is this a potential spot for the tournament or is it the spot? Did anyone check out Marine Stadium. Other than that I think that the lake looks great and should be fun at this location. If this is the official location for nationals please let everyone know the address right away so we can start making travel arrangements and hotel accomidations for our teams. Chad M.

Also, when is this going to be held?

what is the rider formation 3 guys 1 girl 1 skate?

4 guys 1 girl 2 skate

Can someone please email me details about this? I'm from Virginia Tech and we qualified for Nationals during the fall but haven't heard any news yet. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks, Brian Benjamin bbenj10@vt.edu (Message edited by bbenj10 on February 23, 2009)

Please send me details as well! We qualified 2nd in the Midwest back in October and haven't heard anything since. Dates, and a specific location or area would be excellent so we can start making travel arrangements as well.

Good Job Guy on getting this posted!!!!

no problem Texas A&m leadership just got passed so I know how hard it is when you dont have contacts. April 16 sign ups start April 17 8am riders meeting. April 18 April 19 They are looking for team flags for CBS 3 by 5 team colors and a lot of team spirit for the cameras Now back to Stud Statics

Trevor, is it Western Washington or Central Washington that qualified??

I believe it is Central Washington. Nick Hasich is our contact there and we are confirming it right now.

I dont know. I think UNC is running nationals. The number on the entry form is 910-574-0974 next year we should do nationals down in texas its warmer and central.

Still no official word...But hey!! Our team's travel arrangements have been made, so we are gonna have fun in socal whether or not collegiate nationals is a real event!

Ya so how about those information emails we were suppose to receive over two weeks ago??? I understand If we are all waiting on somebody above all of us but a courtesy email would be nice too. Pretty poor that we are less than 2 months away from a tourny like this and no one still seems to know what is going on. Come on guys, lets get it together

If your team has qualified for Nationals. I.E. you are on the list above. E-mail me at <a href="mailto:bbennett@csus.edu">bbennett@csus.edu</a>. I will get you the information. The board does not always check wakeworld. Any teams that did not participate in a regional qualifier but want to next fall please send me all of your contact information at the e-mail above and I will make sure you get all the info.

Thank you, I think I actually received an email from you that my captain forwarded to me. So I'm taking it that CSTV or CBS is the reason for the huge hold up on info about the tournament then?

I'm really not going to point fingers anywhere. I'm all about problem solving and making sure things don't happen twice <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> So any issues or questions you have shoot to me at <a href="mailto:bbennett@csus.edu">bbennett@csus.edu</a>.

Ok, so thats why they call you the fixer_ O _ stuff!!!! nice!

Maybe, I originally earned that one when I was Service manager and lead trouble shooter for West Coast Correct Craft. But I have been able to use it in other aspects of my life. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

Just trying to get a feel for who is going, the whole deal this year just seams a little ....off for lack of a better word. Post up if your teams going

Sac, Chico, Long Beach from the west

I ride for Florida State, we qualified but unfortunately we won't be able to make it.

This time of year you are at the mercy of the wind, if it blows at all even that course will get blown out bad.

Anyone know when it will be on the TV or will they be doing a live web cam. So those of us can support and watch our fave riders. ??
