MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour
Unveils New
Action-Packed Three-Hour Format
Orlando, Fla. – The MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour
will hit the water in a new way during its 2010 season, as each stop
will now feature three different competition formats, an innovative
mix of live music and the largest wake party around, all set to take
place on Saturday evenings. Event organizer World Sports & Marketing
announced today that the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour will unveil
its new action-packed setup in five cities throughout the United
States during its 19th season, including stops in Fort Worth, Tex.;
Knoxville, Tenn.; Elizabethtown, Ky.; Acworth, Ga.; and Colorado
Springs, Colo.
“We’ve shifted the main event to the early evening, added a live
music element and built an interactive entertainment stage to create
the world’s largest wake party,” said Director of Sales and
Marketing Sean Dishman. “This new approach to wake events has never
been done before and wake enthusiasts won’t want to miss it.”
All five tour stops will host preliminary rounds prior to the new
three-hour action-packed format held on Saturday evenings. In its 5
p.m. to 8 p.m. time slot, the Pro Tour will feature contest finals,
a big-air challenge and a double up contest.
On land, fans should check out the Pro Tour’s new entertainment
stage to catch athlete interviews, color commentators, interactive
live music and the largest wake party around.
The 2010 season kicks off in Acworth, Ga., at Dallas Landing Park on
May 22. From there, the Pro Tour continues to Fort Worth, Tex., at
Texas MasterCraft, June 12; Elizabethtown, Ky., at Freeman Lake
Park, June 19; Colorado Springs, Colo., at Memorial Park, July 24;
and wraps up the season in Knoxville, Tenn., at Volunteer Landing on

The MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour is a five-stop series points race
for the Pro Tour title. Athletes accumulate points at each stop
based on final placement in each event. The highest total
points-earner at the end of the five-event season will take home a
cash purse and the coveted Pro Tour title.
