NZJSBA Supplementary Rules & Regulations

Code of Conduct

All competitors must adhere and abide by the NZJSBA code of conduct at all times.  This also applies to pit crew and supporters at each event.

NZJSBA Alcohol & Other Drugs Policy

The NZJSBA is committed to the health and safety of all people and to provide a safe environment at its sanctioned events. The NZJSBA and its members, including affiliate associations, clubs and organising committees, also have a legal duty to take reasonable care of participants at sanctioned events.

The NZJSBA recognises that the use of recreational drugs and alcohol can adversely affect an individual’s performance and can be a contributing factor towards making the sport unsafe, increasing the likelihood that injuries and damage to property and equipment will or could occur.

The NZJSBA Alcohol & Other Drugs Policy has been adopted to provide for a drug and alcohol-free environment and through doing so ensure that both competitors and officials are not impaired in their ability compete or officiate in a safe and healthy manner. Please take the time to familiarise yourself with the policy. 

Infringement Penalty System (Card System)

The NZJSBA, in conjunction with the Australian Jet Sport Boating Association, have adopted the use of a card system called the Infringement Penalty System, or IPS for short. The premise of the system is to provide a clear and fair process to dealing with infringements within the sport. Details of the Infringement Penalty System can be found in the following document:
