In order to be eligible for contingency programs, watercraft must also display a Budweiser decal on each side. Compliance will be verified by the tech staff. Both decals are available at scoring for a small fee. Snell or DOT approved helmet and a USCG approved type 3 PFD must be worn by all competitors or mechanics at all times when on the water. This includes testing, practice, or anytime a competition watercraft is being operated within the PMRP s control perimeter.
Freestyle competitors are exempt from the helmet requirement only during freestyle competition.
The beach area in the wet pits may be limited at some event sites. Wet pit tents may be required to set up behind a demarcation line in order to maximize water access. The use of pit support vehicles may be restricted at some venues. Generally, their use is limited to the transport of watercraft to and from the wet and dry pit areas. Full coverage helmets are required.
