If state allocations cannot be filled through the above procedure, the unfilled allocations
will be sent to all states with 7 days to reply with nominations to fill these allocations. If
there is more than one nomination for the unfilled spot, these will be distributed through
the normal event seeding procedures. Any remaining allocations will be re-distributed by
Surfing Australia by invitation following the event seeding. The Technical Committee and/
or the Technical Director will preside over this reallocation of places to ensure as much
as possible, an equal distribution between states. The Technical Director has license to
re-arrange the draw to provide a fair and reasonable allocation of each state’s competitors
where heat draws produce an over allocation of state members in a particular heat. The
Technical Director should ensure that reserves fill vacant places in their seeded order (i.e.
1st unfilled allocation place filled by highest rated reserve).
SUP Racing – Marathon and Technical
If a state is unable to fulfil their allotted allocations in any Stand Up Paddle Board Racing
or Prone discipline, the allocations can be re-distributed in the racing divisions by the State
branch based on their own individual participation demographic. Competitors must have
competed in their respective State titles. (E.g. If all options to fill allocations have been
exhausted, a state is able to redistribute unfilled allocations across other divisions so that
all respective allocations can be filled).
Prone Racing
There will be no state prone allocations. Prone racing competitions will be an open entry at
Australian titles men and women divisions only. Competitors do not need to qualify through
state rounds.
4. ENTRY FEE
Entry fees for national events including National Titles and sanctioned events will be set
after consultation with Surfing Australia.
