USAWS has approved the "Turn and Burn" format for the Outlaw Lake 3 Event Roundup on August 28 & 29.

In this rules exception format (which only applies to the last round of a tournament), a skier has the option of skiing their third round immediately after their second round.  Skiers must still ski a complete pass in their 3rd round to get their back buoys.  Example:  A skier falls at 38 off in their 2nd round.  They elect to take the Turn & Burn option and choose to start at 38 off in their 3rd round - but only ski 4 buoys.  Their score for the 3rd round - 4 buoys only.  You must get a full pass in the 3rd round to get your back buoys.  Advantage of this rules exception:  Out-of-town skiers with a long drive can get their 3rd round in early.  Disadvantage:  Skier fatigue could be a factor.  It will be interesting to see how many skiers take advantage of this rules exception.
