CLUB ROUNDS (SURFING

The format of a typical event is: Surfing Contest
This is a standard format surfing contest with 2 rounds of up to 8 heats
with up to 8 surfers. First round is drawn from a hat (maximum surfers 64). All surfers to surf
twice, 1st round from the random draw and 2nd round from their place in the 1st round. 3 finals will follow with 6
surfers from each grade (A, B & C). Points for each place will be allocated to everyone who competes and will
tally together for that year to create the ranking in the annual championship pointscore. End of year prizes and trophies
will be presented to the top place getters in the annual championship.
Paddle Race
A short-course race is set up at each event for 3 race classes
(board lengths) and 3 sub divisions of racers - Girls, Junior (under 18), and Grommets, (under 12); (all sub divisions
have no minimum board length, but a maximum of 12'6").
Note: Grommets, Juniors, and Girls
can also compete in any of the 3 race classes but must comply with board lengths.
Everyone receives allocated points
for their place over the line which accumulates in their division's annual pointscore for the end of year rankings (a
separate pointscore to the surfing contest). Small prizes are awarded to the fastest grommets on the day with bigger
prizes and trophies being awarded to the top places in each division at the end of the season.
