7. NSSA Report
   Weighting of box scores has changed: 65% on skiing, 45% on box scores. There is no more Skier Into in the ACT category. The actual box scores will also be modified (Larry will have to give us the actual modifications - they will in effect be like: Announcing= music/audio vs. person only, Showmanship, Overall Show = costume/makeup/act variety/production/introduction, etc, etc) There was discussion on getting a "group/team" rate from USA Water Ski for insurance to help with the hassle of teams checking/verifying individual's have paid their USA WaterSki insurance.

5. 2004 MRSSA Tournament Bids
   Bids were submitted for 2004 tournament. River Rats submitted bid. WaterHawks would not bid because they feel the process (roles and responsibilities) between MRSSA and Host Team are not correct.
