Baller RazorRoss3 Posted June 7, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'm honestly surprised @Horton hasn't cut @skidawg off... and @MS and @thager and @me... If I both still lived in Texas and wasn't going to be studying until my eyes bled that whole weekend I would totally be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Golfguy Posted June 15, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2018 If this is true, a great opportunity for MasterCraft to jump in. Big Dawg is a great event. What say you BOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshaw200 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 That’s really interesting @LLUSA......did Nautique put out a press release stating that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 16, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 16, 2018 @mshaw200 @LLUSA that rumor has been swirling for a while now. Until we hear it from Nautique it's just a rumor.

Baller teammalibu Posted June 19, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 19, 2018 Some of the skiers were changing the Zero Off settings every pass! The most common comments were the boat was not there for them coming out of the bouy! For the heck of it we recorded the ZO settings for every skier all weekend!

Baller BraceMaker Posted June 19, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 19, 2018 @skierjp good to hear - that's all we owned when I was a kid, world teams, seiges and mapples. @teammalibu was that with the newest settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skierjp Posted June 19, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 19, 2018 Humm, boat not there. Definitely not boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BRY Posted June 19, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 19, 2018 @teammalibu Could you post what the ZO settings were with line lengths? Names probably not important, not sure how they all would feel about that. I would be very interested to see where they start and which way they moved as they shorten. See what the big guns really use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Golfguy Posted June 19, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 19, 2018 Changing the ZO setting so much would seem to indicate that the boat takes some getting used to. That isn't going to work very well with the skier that trains behind older SN's or other brands? Any thoughts on this point, or is it too soon to make this statement?

Baller LeonL Posted June 20, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 20, 2018 No one has addressed @rayn 's question. What was there a run off? Big Dawg has always been no ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller teammalibu Posted June 20, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 20, 2018 The Zero Off settings were not related to rope lengths. Many skiers had not skied the new boat yet and were trying to get a feel for it! Most said it felt different! The drivers did an awsome job all weekend!

Baller Golfguy Posted June 21, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 21, 2018 With the long-anticipated launch of the new 2019 Ski Natique and the initial reviews of its slalom ski-ability, especially regarding the ZO settings, calls to a larger problem with our tournament tow boat structure. Notwithstanding wake and tracking, pull characteristics, when the boat catches up to the skier seem to vary with the same ZO setting from boat to boat? How can a person that trains behind boat X ever hope to know how boat Y with the same ZO setting will react? Is there need for a conversion chart that specifies boat type, engine option, and prop to determine ZO setting? Maybe an app on one’s smart phone would do. How can this ever be a level playing field? Three weeks ago, we had a two-day 6 round tournament using the 2018 SN 200 6.2 L and a CP 6.0 L. Four of the Big Dawg skiers were here including the current Leader. There were 18 -39.5 passes made and 6 passes into -41. These skiers having the benefit of 3 weeks training could not replicate these results at Cider Ridge. I dislike posing a problem w/o also a solution. Thus, this is more of a thought experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mshaw200 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 @ryan @leonl We changed the rules a couple of years ago that we would run off ties for the final pair so that a winner wasn’t determined just by who went first or second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
