Here are the 'rules'

a) A typical match will consist of 4 teams of 5 surfers competing over 1 set. No surfer may surf twice.
Only 1 team member from each team will be allowed in the water at any one time.

b) Each surfer must commence from the allocated beach or water start line as nominated by the Contest Director.

c) The team order of surfing cannot be changed once submitted at ‘check in time’. The power surfer must also be nominated. The Contest Director will nominate the Team composition criteria.

d) Each surfer can catch a maximum of 3 waves.

e) The surfer must nominate/claim 2 of those waves by raising both their hands above their head before making an attempt/ motion to paddle out again or, if the surfer has completed their 3rd wave before the surfer enters the team zone / box.

f) Once the wave is nominated cannot be changed and therefore counts as a scoring wave. If a surfer fails to nominate any waves, the surfer will not be scored & zero points will be allocated for that wave/s.

g) When a surfer has nominated 2 waves they must return to the shore and make contact with the beach marker or ‘team zone/box’ located in a designated area on the beach, thus releasing the next team surfer.

h) Each team will have a power surfer. The power surfer will have all their 3 rides counting in the team score. The power surfer does not have to nominate their waves as every ride will count in the team total.

i) Team surfers must make contact with the beach marker to release the next team surfer. The next surfer must stay behind the start line or allocated buoy/paddle from point until this time.

j) Heat times will be at the discretion of the Contest Director.

k) The Contest Director designates the start line and beach/water marker.

l) Final results are achieved by adding total scores together.

m) drop in penalties.
When a riding interference has been scored the interfering surfer is penalized by that wave being scored as a zero.
The surfer who has been interfered with will receive a wave over the 3 wave maximum. If the surfer elects the extra wave they must nominate/claim as one of the waves.
