Announcing

Announcing is a very important component of our events.  Good announcing can change the atmosphere of an entire day by providing good up-to-date information to competitors, spectators, and officials.  Announcers can come in all shapes, sizes, and demeanors.  Some announcers may be funny, some may be knowledgable on current and historical ski events, and others could just plain give good clear results, all of these are acceptable and encouraged.  The important thing is that you're clear, easy to understand, and pleasant to the audience.

Hank Longo, on behalf of USA Water Ski has put together a great set of guidelines for Waterski Announcers.  Please take the time to read through these guidelines before each event that you announce.
