Sunday, May 07, 2006Adkison Wins His First-Ever Tour Title
As '06 Season Kicks Off Andrew Adkison won his first-ever MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour title today in Acworth, Georgia just outside of Atlanta.

Seeded #2, Adkison, a MasterCraft team rider, knocked off the #1 seed of the contest Daniel Watkins in today's semifinals before beating the #5 seed Webb. He also had to beat the #3 seed Danny Harf in the quarterfinals. Adkison now takes the lead on the season-long Indmar Performance Award which signifies the season Tour champion. This weekend, the tour debuted its new competition format where each rider in the field is seeded and placed into two 16-seeded brackets. Single elimination in head-to-head match-ups bring the field down to a round of 16, 8, 4 and then a match-up of the winning riders from each bracket. Judging by reaction of the riders and fans along the shore, the format was a huge success.
