There was any specific level required, just an entry fee 
To make finals people were landing shuvits, big spins, and sometimes kickflips. It's pulled by a Sea Doo so it's limited to lip tricks and ollies basically, along with hitting the rails.

im thinking next season the level will be a lot higher. at the first stop of the season from what i rember there wasnt to much going on just lipslides n shovits and by the end of the season it was kickflips n big spins n rail stuff and lots of linked tricks like shovit to lipslide to 270 out and stuff like that. i might be wrong about the first few stops becuase i was still riding JR Mens at that time so i didnt pay to close of attention, or know much of what the tricks were. next season i am hoping to see more kickflips and some varial and frontside flips and maybe heelflips and stuff that isnt being done yet.

Yeah, I think Greg is right about it being tougher and more technical next year. It has to be for the sport to progress. And more people with solid runs and not as many falls. For comps it's important to dial your run and practice it, which I don't think many people did this year.
