Details
The fifth stop of the King of Wake series is the Air Nautique WWA Wakeboard National Championships, presented by ROCKSTAR. The five-day event is set to hit Oklahoma City, Okla., July 8-12 on the Oklahoma River. The 19th National Championships features the top wake athletes in the U.S., competing for national titles in 20 different divisions, separated by age and skill level. The results from the Nationals will also determine who will represent the United States at the 2009 WWA World Championships.
The King of Wake is an eight-event series points race. The top athletes who qualify into each contest will compete to earn points towards the series standings. Athletes are ranked according to total points earned throughout the eight-event season. Following the final contest of the season, the highest total points-earner in the series will be crowned the King of Wake.
To keep the points race tight, the King of Wake series features the "Chase for the Crown" format. The Chase limits the eligibility for crown to the top-ten highest points-earners, midway through the season. Following the fifth stop of the series, only the current top-ten ranked athletes in the standings will receive a point bonus, adjusting their totals to keep the points race tight, and making only the top-ten eligible for the King of Wake crown.
All athletes will still compete at each of the remaining contests in the series, but only the ten athletes involved in the Chase will have the remaining three stops to top each other in the standings for the King of Wake crown.
