Skins Format and RulesSKINS CONTEST FORMAT: All Names are thrown in a hat before the start of event. Names are drawn and placed into skins money round one for ($100) cash per heat win. Each win will allow for advancement into the next skins heat and a chance at some more cash. If you loose out in round one you will get a second chance in skins money round two. The competitor who wins the most skins heat will be deemed the winner…in the event of ties there will be a surf-off round. In the surf-off, the priority buoy system may be used. Highest scoring wave claimed wins. NOTE: TAKE FOR EXAMPLE YOU ARE IN HEAT ONE, IF YOU WIN THE SKIN YOU ADVANCE TO HEAT THREE, WIN HEAT THREE ADVANCE TO HEAT FIVE AND SO ON…SURFING Criteria: Only one-ride scores, surfer may claim his ride by holding his hands above his head, he then must immediately prone out and come in. Rider has 10 – 15 seconds to decide on a claim after the completion of a ride. Riding another wave after a claim will be automatic disqualification. Paddling back out after a claim will also result in disqualification. An attempt will be made to call out scores as each ride is claimed. In the event of unlimited wave count, 15-minute heats will be allotted. However, heats will be called short when all riders have claimed scores. Important you pay close attention to your heat, it is likely you will be surfing sooner than you would expect. Beach start format.INTERFERENCE RULE: Priority is to be given to the surfer paddling closest to the curl or breaking part of the wave at the point of take off. Interference will result in automatic forth place. Paddling interference may be called if a surfer looks to have purposely crushed in a section on another rider and or directly hindered the riding surfer’s path. Paddling interference will result in a minus 2.5 from your total score. Two of the three judges must call interference for it to count.
