Team List Submission
a. State team lists for national title events, must be submitted to Surfing Australia at least
28 days prior to the entry closing date of the event.
b. Final lists of competitors must be submitted at a team managers’ meeting following
the competitors’ meeting. Any surfers nominated to compete at this point are the final
starters for the Championship. Any “no-show” competitors will forfeit their heat draw
positions in the first round. In subsequent rounds any “no-show” competitors will be
credited with last place in their heat. No reserves can be accepted for any position in
any round if the “no-show” situation arises.
