2. Funding and Calculation

3. Eligibility

To be eligible for the Season Purse, a Pilot must:

• Complete at least one Qualifying (Ranked) Run during the Season Period.
• Hold a valid booking and have completed payment for the Qualifying Run(s).
• Comply with all safety briefing instructions, the Jet X waiver, and the Season Rules.
• Have at least one Verified Time recorded in the Jet X timing system. Manual-only or self-reported times do not qualify.
• Not have been Disqualified for any reason under Section 5.

4. Winner Selection

The winner of the Season Purse is the Eligible Participant with the single fastest Verified Time on the official Leaderboard at the close of the Season Period (including any rescheduled Qualifying Runs).

5. Disqualification and Integrity

A Pilot may be Disqualified from the Season Purse for any of the following:

• Cheating or attempting to manipulate timing systems.
• Unsafe behaviour on or off the water during a session.
• Breach of the Jet X Season Rules or these terms.
• Unsportsmanlike conduct.
• Falsifying identity or impersonating another participant.
• Tampering with equipment, vessels, or safety apparatus.
• Failing to follow Race Control or marshal instructions.
• Intoxication or suspected impairment during a session.
• Repeated rule breaches after warnings.

If a Pilot is Disqualified, the Season Purse passes to the next fastest Eligible Participant. Disqualification decisions are made by Jet X operations and are final.

6. Payment

The Season Purse will be paid within 30 days of the season end date and completion of all verification checks.

To receive payment, the winner must:

• Provide valid government-issued photo identification.
• Provide Australian bank account details for electronic transfer.
• Complete any required payment forms or declarations.

Taxes: The winner is solely responsible for any tax obligations arising from receipt of the Season Purse. Jet X may withhold amounts if required by Australian tax law.

7. Force Majeure and Operational Events

Weather, safety concerns, regulatory requirements, or equipment failures may cause sessions to be postponed or rescheduled. If the Season Period is materially shortened or cancelled due to events beyond Jet X's reasonable control:

• If 50% or more of the Season Period has been completed with at least 20 Qualifying Runs recorded, the Season Purse will be awarded based on the Leaderboard at the time of cancellation, with the purse amount adjusted pro-rata based on actual entries received.
• If fewer than 50% of the Season Period has been completed, Jet X may, at its sole discretion, either award a reduced purse based on actual entries or refund Qualifying Run fees to affected Pilots.

Any decision under this clause will be communicated to all registered Pilots within 14 days.

8. Marketing and Publicity

By entering a Qualifying Run, the winner agrees that Jet X may use their name, likeness, race footage, and Verified Time for reasonable promotional purposes related to Jet X and the Season Purse, including social media, website, and marketing materials. Jet X will seek the winner's cooperation for any substantial promotional activities.

9. General

• Jet X reserves the right to amend these Season Purse terms with 30 days' written notice to registered Pilots. No amendment will retroactively affect a Pilot's eligibility based on runs already completed.
• These terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia.
