ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Masters Water Ski Tournament

Okay kiddo, so a water ski tournament is when lots of people, who are really good at skiing on water, get together to see who is the best!

At the masters tournament, only the best skiers in the whole world are allowed to compete. Imagine you had a big race with your friends and only the fastest kids were allowed to join – that's what this tournament is like!

The skiers have to do a bunch of really cool tricks and moves while they ski across the water. They try to jump over big ramps and go really fast around buoys while they are holding onto a rope that is attached to a boat.

There are different events for the skiers to compete in, like one where they have to do fancy jumps and another where they have to ski around the buoys as fast as they can. The judges watch very closely to see how well the skiers do all of their tricks and then they give them scores.

The skier who does the best tricks and gets the highest score wins the tournament! Being a master at water skiing takes a lot of practice and hard work, so it's a really big deal when someone wins the masters tournament.
