Heat Times: 20 minutes
Points Tally. 1st place (4 point ) 2nd place ( 3 point ) , 3rd place ( 2 point ) , 4th place ( 1point )
Total points and heat scores will also be tallied for overall placings at event
# Important note: there will be a 20 minute super heat , if there is a POINTS TALLY tie for the (1st placing only)
Etc , if there are multiple clubs, equal first on the points tally after 8 surfers, this Super Heat will apply, clubs can pick their best surfer, most I’d say would use an 18, but it would be up to the clubs involved.
The thought process regarding this super heat, was more about the changes that can happen in conditions during a day , so we want to have a clear cut winner

This event is a non-profit event for North Steyne Boardriders and was put on due to the last of serous competition in 2020 .I will Say at this stage it’s most likely a one off contest and I’ll like to personally thank the clubs for backing it and Surfing NSW for their continued support in the development of grass root surfing within NSW.
Also , A Massive thank you to local Surf Shop , Aloha Surf Manly for fronting the sponsorship money for the event and the live broadcast.Please encourage your teams to go in to the shop at 44 Pittwater Rd Manly and check out there incredible range of boards and Accessories
