This is the first time for the Cable Wakeboard World Council to welcome the riders' representative on board.
The mission of the riders' representative is to represent the views of the riders and make their voice heard within
the Council as well as through the IWWF Athletes Commission which has two representatives on the IWWF
Executive Board.
The term of the riders' representative is until the next World Champs in two years.
Procedure
The election of the riders' representative will take place during the riders meeting.
Only the riders competing at these World Championships and present at the riders meeting have the right to vote.
Any rider wishing to stand for the position will nominate him/herself latest at the time of registration on site.
The nominees must:
be over the age of 18
have competed in the finals of at least two titled events in the past 4 years
be present at the World Champs at the time of registrations and the riders meeting, but not
necessarily as a competitor
After the registrations are closed, the complete list of nominees will be published on info boards at the cable, in the
official hotel and at cablewakeboard.net.
The ballot paper will be handed out to all riders participating at the Championships and the riders meeting and must
be submitted by the end of the riders’ meeting to the ballot box.
The results will be announced at the Opening Ceremony.
